Seven souls

from Production and year: USA, 2008 Original title: Seven Pounds Genre: drama Director: Gabriele Muccino Screenplay: Grant Nieporte Cast: Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, and others Medical topic: organ transplantation Description: The film’s protagonist, Ben Thomas (Smith), causes a car accident while driving, killing six strangers and his fiancée. Tormented by guilt, he decides to atone for his sins by helping seven people. He does this in an extraordinary way—by donating his organs to them. Posing as a tax official, he visits people in their homes and assesses whether they deserve his help. These encounters will change their lives. Personally, I don’t share the great enthusiasm this film has sparked in most of the people I know. However, it’s definitely worth watching.
