I never understand the title “Seven Pound” maybe it’s the seven people he killed and the seven people he gave back their lives. I don’t know but it’s a great movie. It definitely made me cry at the end. ^__^

Redemption or atonement? In Shakespear’s “Merchant of Venice” the loan shark, Shylock, demands that debts owed to him be repayed or he will take his “pound of flesh”. Will Smith’s character must atone for the sin of killing 7 people – hence, “Seven Pounds”. Convoluted, yes, but it makes some sense. Any other guesses?

The Merchant of Venice sounds very plausible and it may be what the writers had in mind. One other theory is that seven pounds is the weight of the heart.

Actually, the weight of an average heart is about 10 oz. Seven pounds is one huge heart. I like the Shakespeare idea. Interesting notion… I had an idea along those lines, the only problem is that the seventh is a house… that’s not really a “pound of flesh”.

Supposedly, seven pounds is the average combined weight of transplantable organs.

Definitely a Merchant of Venice reference. A ‘pound of flesh’ is merely a debt to be repayed, seven victims, seven debts. Seven pounds being the average weight of transplantable organs seems too indefinite. Awesome film.

I can agree with that. Thanks for the clarification.

I belive his brother said that Tim could only give him one lung, I thought maybe he received the second lung after he died. Maybe that is the seven organ donated.

But Joes explanation makes sense. The one person was the house, so that fits into debt to be repaid. Seven debts. I wonder if the filmakers will ever really say or if we have to go on our own theories.

From Italy… it is definitely a reference from the Merchant of Venice!

If you add up all the organs plus the bone marrow weight it averages out to seven pounds…

I would tip, that “seven pound” might refer to the overall weight of his organs, which he gave through his last will to the people. The heart makes about 300g, which is a bit less than 1 pound. Other organs like the part of the liver and the part of the lung, as well as the eyes should make up the rest of the weight (the part of the liver is quite heavy).
That is just a guess.
