I just watched the film "Seven Pounds" staring Will Smith as it was Sky Free Pass weekend on Freeview.
I know most of you young, free and singles will have seen it already but for us oldies with children we hardly get the chance to go to the cinema unless it is a PG, 12 or 12A etc., and if your child/children agree to see the same films.
Anyway, I have heard a lot of mixed reviews, some like it and some hated it. Personally on a basic level I thought it was an interesting film.
The psychological implications were also interesting. The fact that he felt responsible for the deaths of seven people, including that of his wife. This then leads him to find seven people he deemed good people to drastically improve their lives. This in turn leads to him literally giving his "seven pounds" of flesh. Punishment indeed!
It really is a heart wrenching film and I defy anyone not to feel it tug at the heart strings!
