OK.What was the meaning of 7 pounds? Is the 7 pounds the weight of each organ?  
Why did he have to pretend to be an IRS agent?
What did he do for a living?
I counted only six people he helped. How many did you count?
I think it kind of glorified suicide. What your thought?
Why did he have to go to the hotel?
It was kind of confusing to me but i loved it...i really loved it.  I think it is going to mess with me for a minute, I had to take two bc powders after watching it. It was just a sad, sad, sad movie.

1) 7 pounds - weight of everything he gave, heart, eyes, liver, bone marrow etc
2) To get access to people
3) He was an Engineer - remember him making the presentation for an audience
4) There was the lady who he gave the heart, bone marrow to child, eyes to blind guy, house to lady who was being abused, older lady in nursing home - got her bath, liver to the lady at social services,
5) He did not want to live without his wife - so I suppose it could be glorified suicide
6) He had given the house away - too many memories

Hope this helps.

1.  According to Shakespeere (I forget which play) when u killed someone, you had to give back in return a "pound of flesh", or a life for a life.   In the accident, he killed seven people...thus 7 Pounds...of flesh. Since he could only give up his life once, he had to make better the lives of seven ppl to make up for it.

2. He was an Aeronautical Engineer

3. The seventh was the guy in the retirement home he decided NOT to help

4. it was a suicide...he was remorseful over all the deaths..including that of his wife.

5. He gave up his home to the Spanish woman and her kids.

 6. he took the IRS badge from his brother to have access to their databases to locate possible recipients for his deeds. As he did with Rosario Dawson's character.

For the most part, everyone on here was correct, however, I only counted 6 people at first and then after talking with some friends and seeing the movie again, the 7th person that I didn't count was the hockey coach....Remember when they were sitting side by side in the hospital, i think he gave him something as well.  I didn't count the woman getting a bath because that wasn't that significant. 

the 7 pounds dealt with what Dalexis said dealing with a pound of flesh....
He was into Aeronautics, remember when he was giving the presentation....(i guess he just up and quit his job)

As far as the suicide, i think he did it because he felt guilty because of the accident and wanted to help others.  but what a hell of a way to go, huh?

Would do what? commit suicide over losing somene he loved dearly?  People do that shyt everyday. 

And people also donate their organs.
