Subject: Accessible World presents "Friday Night at the Movies," =
starring Will Smith, November 6, 2009
News Wire:
Friday night at the movies features "Seven Pounds".
Described. Audio only, mp3 format.
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 fianc=E9e, Sarah Jenson (Robinne Lee).
Movie opens with Tim (now using his bother's name -Ben) making a 911 =
call to report a suicide - his. Then we see Ben at the IRS building =
researching. Next his brother calls him, Ben asks if he's smoking again =
- he says no. His brother asks if he took anything while he was staying =
there, Ben says no but he remembers giving him something.
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).
Tim steals his brother's IRS credentials, so he can check out candidates =
for his two final donations. The first candidate 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. The second candidate is =
Charles, who runs a nursing home. Tim decides Charles is not a worthy =
candidate when he denies an elderly patient a bath.
There is a flashback of Ben checking on a hockey coach, and we later see =
them the day of the surgery.
He then contacts Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson), a self-employed greeting =
card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. He visits =
her in the hospital, learns she has been put on the donor list. He =
spends time with her, weeding her garden and fixing her rare Heidelberg =
printer. They go on a walk, have dinner together. He begins to fall in =
love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to =
make his donation.
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.
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.
We see the 911 call again, flashback to the accident where his =
girlfriend is looking at her engagement ring, and he is looking at his =
blackberry.
