Seven Pounds the Story We All Long For.

This was a great and thought provoking film. I realize it's kind of old now, but I didn't have a blog when I first saw it. So call me "not current" whatever you want I am ok with that.
It seems to me that several films have redemptive themes lately. Films that seem to echo the longing of all humanity. The charactor in this film realizes that he has a bad past and wants to do whatever he can to make up for what he once lost. He desperately wants to live a life of humilty and significance. He desires to be a hero but also has a desire to be saved by something that is bigger than himself.
He ends up giving all that he has even his own life for the benefit of others. These people who desperately need to be saved in order to experience life.
We all realize that in the story of our lives that things are messed up and broken. We want to be that solution to the problem, but we realize it takes something much bigger than us to remedy our shattered state. God sent us that hero, all the longing for significance are found in that hero Jesus who gave everything he had for the sake of others so that we can experience new life.
