Synopsis:

Two years ago Tim Thomas (Will Smith) was in a car crash, which was caused by him using his mobile phone; seven people died: six strangers and his fiancée, Sarah Jenson (Robinne Lee).

A year after the crash, and having quit his job as an aeronautical engineer, Tim donates a lung lobe to his brother, Ben (Michael Ealy), an IRS employee. Six months later he donates part of his liver to a child services worker named Holly (Judyann Elder). After that he begins searching for more candidates to receive donations. He finds George (Bill Smitrovich), a junior hockey coach, and donates a kidney to him, and then donates bone marrow to a young boy named Nicholas (Quintin Kelley).

Two weeks before he dies he contacts Holly and asks if she knows anyone who deserves help. She suggests Connie Tepos (Elpidia Carrillo), who lives with an abusive boyfriend. Tim moves out of his house and into a local motel taking with him his pet box jellyfish. One night, after being beaten, Connie contacts Tim and he gives her the keys and deed to his beach house. She takes her two children and moves in to their new home.

Having stolen his brother's credentials, and making himself known by his brother's name Ben, he checks out candidates for his two final donations. The first is Ezra Turner (Woody Harrelson), a blind meat salesman who plays the piano. Tim calls Ezra Turner and harasses him at work to check if he is quick to anger. Ezra remains calm and Tim decides he is worthy.

He then contacts Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson), a self-employed greeting card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. He spends time with her, weeding her garden and fixing her rare Heidelberg printer. He begins to fall in love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to make his donation.

His brother tracks him down to Emily's house. Ben then demands that Tim return his IRS ID to him. Tim leaves and returns to the motel. He fills the bathtub with ice water to preserve his vital organs, climbs in, and then commits suicide by pulling his extremely poisonous jellyfish into the water with him. His friend Dan (Barry Pepper) acts as executor to ensure that his organs are donated to Emily and Ezra. Ezra Turner receives his corneas and Emily receives his heart. Afterwards, Emily meets Ezra at a concert and they begin to talk.

*******

"In 7 days God created the world, in 7 seconds I shattered mine."

“神用了七天創造宇宙万物，我只花了七秒毀掉我的。”
（难道生命就在他的瞬息万变下可以轻易了结的吗？）

Will Smith 一登場就撥打911，告知消防隊有人要自殺，那個人就是他自己，

本片以把結局的劇情拿來當片頭的破題拍攝方式；让观众很好奇，想继续找出真相。

看完戏，问了一连串问题：
Ben Thomas 死得很完美？
他可以操纵生命吗？
他可以决定死亡或生存吗？
他的行为是爱，抑或自私？
他在救助还是救赎别人？
他的动机：为赎罪，为救人，走出阴影,又或者是为爱？

最终：回到基本的道德伦理原则：
The ENDS cannot justify the MEANS.
(目标正当，也不允许不择手段，杀害、毁灭生命。)
(目的无法把过程合法化)

剧终，还无法了解片名的真正意义，以为是7磅重的内疚，7磅重量的心理压力，7磅的阴影；后来上网找到了：

這個七磅的典故來自莎士比亞的《威尼斯商人》劇中，有一個喬段是說，如果商人沒有履行約定，就要從身上割下七磅的肉來還，所以Seven Pounds是贖罪的意思。

才發現這部片片名的真正意義是放高利貸的猶太商人夏洛克要求欠債還不出來的人割下身上一磅的肉抵債，
七這個數字電影裡頭已經說明了，七磅代表七個Ben欠下還不了的債。

他為了贖罪而拯救了七個人的生命。
人很矛盾吧！可以救7个人却无法跳出自己。
