If you came hoping for a feel good movie then you'll be dissapointed. A guy so deeply remorsed with his negligence in the past decided to give all of him away to 7 strangers. Willingly.
Yea yea. the movie was so full of symbolism, beautifully done, with no extra sentences, events, glances or even a drop of sunshine wasted. If you watch it again and again you could probably write and essay how the twitch in his eyes were because of what was coming next. etc etc.
The thing is. It is still a movie to the fact that his heart fits in the girl's body perfectly.... and all other 'movie quality' of a story. But still it's so real.
The punchline at the end that 7 people died because of him BB-ing while driving. *spoiler sorry*. Is so... disturbing. I thought of many times what would I do if I am the sole survivor of something that could easily be traced back to my negligence. To have someone spend millions and make 2 hours worth of movie out of it is just... wrong. So depressing.
The whole idea of him letting 7 people live for the 7 he 'killed'... is almost poetic. Linked with the 'in 7 days God made the world, and in 7 days I killed myself' .. It's just too much. What disturb me the most is that... those kinda shit happens.
You have the greatest time of your life. Blanket of happiness. Bounce on your feet.
Then you do something stupid.
then. BAM. your life goes upside down and you barely can stand looking in the mirror at yourself.
Though noone blames you for what you do, how could they knowing you're punishing yourself enough just from one glance.
But still life has to go on. But life had since become pre and post event. And every single thing from your previous life reminds you what a failure you are and how you as a person have failed the society.
I don't know why but I'm just deeply disturbed by the movie. 'It's only a movie' some will say. Maybe because it's Will Smith. And that he's a really good actor. If I had to play that I'd probably meeting my therapist on a weekly basis on day 1 after shooting's over.
I guess.. the fact is that.. Till the end of the day.. he cannot forgive himself nor was he willing to. Forgiveness to oneself is the hardest thing to do. And maybe... that's the one thing I could relate.
