Seven pounds

I wasn't sleepy. It was my last day of Netflix subscription. So I thought I would watch some movies. Searched in Google for best Hollywood movies. Picked up a random movie. And the movie was Seven pounds..
I was happy bcz the hero is my favorite actor. Liked him after watching pursuit of happiness.
Here we comes to the movie part.
Started with a call which comes to ambulance service regarding a suicide. Then the real story begins. Simply the content is, an emotional man apparently he is an IRA officer who helps lives of 7 people because he was involved in an accident which took 7 lives including his wife.
All the seen you can see some hidden thing In his eyes. Like he has a past. Or he is not someone we see. He is taking care of these 7 people. Who are in trouble maybe physically maybe they are facing some threat. When he was a child his father took him to a aquarium. There he saw a dangerous fish in the earth. If it bites people die. So he selected that particular fish to kill him. After he accomplished all the missions he committed suicide. Later on we would get to know who all are the 7 people. It includes his brother, one lady who works in a charitable institution,  a lady who has a dog and he will fall in love with her. They both felt something inside they were in love. She was the last person who was helped by the hero. What he was given was his heart. He donated his heart. That's why he called an ambulance while he was dying. He wanted his heart to be given to that lady. He saved the life of another lady who has two children. She was having threat from her boyfriend. She needed help. Ben offered a new house in an city. She refused in the first time. Then later on she had to avail the offer.
Another person he helped was a man who does not have eyes. That guy was working at a call center. Ben had called the call center for the service. But the talk went beyond the line. Ben Mocked at him for not having meat
Then Ben found out he was a blind. So this person came to his list of seven people.
He has been in to a hospital for an auditing purpose. There he saw an old lady who was having trouble with the hospital management. She wanted help. It seems she wasn't given a bath for so many days. Ben had talked to her and understood her problems and helped her out. Another person on the list was a boy. They are not exactly showing story of that boy. But in the climax if I'm not wrong we can find the boy is doing good.
This movie made me cry. It made me understand that we are not lost. We have lot of things to do in this world. Our life is not worthless. Ben had the same guilty feeling when he was involved in that accident. He has lost everything. He lost interest in his life. He started to live for others. He saved 7 lives and he said goodbye to this world. Now he lives in 7 hearts. It includes his heart too.
