Seven Pounds

Atire: Black Wrap-around Dress

After a night at Mimolette, I watched the 3.50am midnight show. My earliest movie ever!In this movie, Will Smith plays Ben Thomas, an IRS agent with a fateful secret who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.

The only other movie, non-action i ever watched of Will Smith was the sweet romantic comedy "Hitch". Now, Will potrays his emotional side, in his role in Seven Pounds.It was heart-wenching watching Ben's tears fall, when he was grieving the loss his gf who passed away in a fatal car accident in which he was the driver.

In our life, we will probably experience heart-breaking situations at least once, that we could do nothing but helplessly be in pain. One can choose to be sad, but not be miserable. But till then when you finally get out of this despair, u are a total wreck. Your mind is full of images of the loved one. Every fleeting moment that pass u by, u think about dying..

Pain.

Another screen-worthy moment was when "Emily" (Rosario) stated in her medical record/application for a heart donor that she didn't feel worthy of taking a heart away from someone else, as her life was completely unremarkable.

It was really sweet when Will surprised Rosario by repairing her old vintage printer and cleaned up her garden.

My favourite scene would be when Will and Rosario hum the song "Loving you-Minnie Ripperton" when talking about their favourite song of all time over the dining table and Rosario dancing and singing to her favourite tune. So romantic!It was fufilling watching such a sweet,touching and meaningful movie that i didn't feel tired. Must be the great seats we got =)
