Will Smith steals every scene, as always, but some great supporting roles here by Woody Harrelson as the blind pianist and Rosario Dawson as the woman with heart failure. Despite the dark theme, it is an artful movie. The DVD’s special features include seven interviews with the director, editor, etc. Very insightful, and a fascinating look into the directing style of Gabriele Muccino.

It took me a couple minutes to figure out why Ben killed himself on ice—-he was wanting to keep the heart and other organs preserved.

Very intense movie; I think I liked it because of the redemption theme.

Why is this called, “Seven Pounds”? Mostly, whenever I watch a movie and the title isn’t obvious, I try to figure out the title vs. the story. This wasn’t clear to me. Maybe to everyone else it was.
