Seven Names. Seven Strangers. One Secret.

This lady is pretty in the show! She has nice sharp features which I wont mind having=)

Another movie which I watched during my recuperating period at home. Seven Pounds. Thanks for Elvin for introing and giving me an overview of the show coz it would have been difficult to comprehend due to the nature of the show. Managed to appreciate the show better definitely=)

Tim Thomas (Will Smith) was a gifted aerospace engineer with a beautiful wife and a lovely beach house. Then, while using his cell phone while driving, his car wandered across lanes and he became responsible for the deaths of 7 others, including his beloved wife. Unable to forgive himself or raise the dead, Tim sets out to give "pounds of flesh" that will give new life to seven deserving individuals to make up for the seven lives he destroyed. Just as Antonio would have to die to pay Shylock the "pound of flesh" he demands, Tim intends to kill himself to atone for his sins. His brother Ben (Michael Ealy), who works for the IRS, is deeply concerned about his state of mind. Tim steals his brother's IRS ID to access the IRS database and to find and meet people who he believes worthy of his gifts which includes body organs and material possessions. Tim assumes his brother's identity of "Ben Thomas" to personally investigate these people and verify that they are indeed the right people he should help. He has a plan for when he identifies his 7 beneficiaries that requires his best friend Dan (Barry Pepper) to see that his wishes are carried out after he is dead. Tim's plan threatens to unravel when he begins to fall in love with one of the people he is trying to help.

The show was abit extreme. Will Smith killed himself after donating all that he could. I support organ donation but not in this manner. I am sure every single one's life is worth treasuring, especially your own!

Organs are one of things that we are blessed with by nature. Organ donation works wonders. It is amazing how an organ transplant can transform someone else' life tremendously! I will donate my organs when I die. It can save lives. It doesnt make sense to hang on tight to "external possessions" after we die. Does it? Painless and beneficial acts like these dont scare me. This movie brought up the topic of organ donation between Elvin and I. Singaporeans are obliged to donate their organ unless one chooses to opt out of the "programme". Apparently, the number of organ donors has increased due to a new law implemented recently to include muslims as well. Previously they were not allowed to due to religious constrains.

Blood donation is something that I will HIDE from at all cost. Ouch! Needles! Scream! I believe that I can do good to others in MANY other ways=). Daddy has been donating blood ever since dunno when on a regular basis. Proud of you daddy! I remember him coming back with iron pills that he never took :) Missing you dad.
