Last Saturday I went to the cinema to watch "Seven Pounds" starring Will Smith.. I really don't have much free time these days because of my hectic schedule and my hubby is on a course (Saturday and Sunday) for 11 weeks.. So only at night we can go out and go to the cinema. I'm a self-declared movie lover so I kind of hate that I've missed a few movies that I would like to watch.
So...we watch the movie and it felt like a slow one but full of mysteries. It made you think "Who is he? What happened? Why do he act this way?" and many more questions. As the movie progress we were presented with glimpses of his past and acts of the present persona so we have to scratch our brain to make sense of it all. Towards the end of the movie, the pieces were slowly put into place and the main character made the ultimate choice to end his life (it is all been planned earlier by himself) to give the final chosen persons the 'gift of life'.
The first few minutes of this movie has already made me think it was going to be a sad one. There were a few heart-wrenching incidents in it but nothing moved me to tears (I usually shed tears rather freely) but I'm quite surprised to hear sobs from the person sitting behind me. However, the climax is really a shocked for me because I never thought that Ben is going that far. My partner beside me remained very quite during that act so I took a peek and surprised! I saw streaks of tears on his cheeks! I myself was drowning in them so I didn't really notice that almost everybody in the cinema were weeping during the most unimaginable scene of how a person could sacrifice himself for a stranger. I waited until the movie was over and only teased him outside the cinema. I never saw him cry before (after 4 years of relationship and 1/2 year of marriage) so I never thought he is capable of crying out of movies especially! Well..well..what a pleasant surprise... ^_^
