So I was on a plane from Chicago back to Sacramento today… While I was flying home, they played a movie. I was reading a book so I didn’t really watch, but I did catch that the movie was Seven Pounds starring Will Smith. (I also didn’t have any headphones so I couldn’t listen even if I wanted to).
I hadn’t seen it before, but I had heard about it. Throughout the movie there were times when I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen–and remember, I couldn’t hear anything. It was so rivetting, and Will Smith’s acting seemed to be amazing (and so did everyone else’s).
By the end of the movie, I was watching it with all of my attention. I had to hold back tears… and a couple escaped. I still don’t know exactly what happened, but I do know it was beautiful and I will see it again with sound.
