Seven Pounds

This movie, quite ironically though, suggests that there is a meticulous design even in the way brilliance chooses to extinguish itself. The movie forcefully brings out a case in which a brilliant MIT graduate meticulously plans a suicide followed by donation of his organs to the last detail.

It depicts a rarest of the rare trait seen amongst people who either have strong guilt or have no will to live in them. Generally, such people take to suicidal tendencies coupled with depression.Here in this case, rather than getting pushed into depression, he remains active and even takes great pain to identify potential beneficiaries and cross checks if they really are 'good human beings'. At times I wish a person of such brilliance and superb control over emotions chose to live. The world would have been a better place !
