"Seven Pounds"

This quote is often the theme in many movies, too. In "Seven Pounds," Will Smith plays the role of Tim Thomas, a very unique and independent person. Throughout the movie, Thomas stands up for what he believes in. He is just doing what he thinks is right and does not care what others think or say about him. After causing a car crash that killed seven people, including his fiancée, Thomas decides that to truly be happy he needs to dedicate his life to helping seven people dramatically improve their lives (Seven Pounds). He donates body organs to terminally ill people, some whom he does not even know. Tim Thomas does these things to help himself find inner peace, because he feels so dragged down by the guilt of causing the accident. He lives independently, often isolated from others and always on the move, trying to help others. Throughout the entire movie he works as hard as he can to become the best person that he can possibly be. He finds his inner self, and, right before he kills himself to provide two vital organs for people, he is finally happy and at peace with himself (Seven Pounds).
