7 Pounds

I've watched this movie a couple of times and found a few things interesting.  First, the feelings that Rosario Dawson's character goes through are scary accurate.  I remember how it was to hear those words about going on the transplant list and then the sudden reality of exactly everything that meant.  The way she felt and the things she went through as far as being tired so easily, passing out (or nearly) on people, etc., the need to continue to be independent even though you knew your time was growing shorter....I would like to know how those around me would rate it compared to what I went through just to see if somebody else thinks it is as accurate as mine.

The "direct transplant" issue of Will Smith's character, however, is not accurate as far as I know.  Hollywood often takes artistic freedom with transplants, and while I know that each transplant location has their own set of rules, I don't think UNOS would allow a direct transplant. 

I always find it interesting that the movies or TV will show someone going in for a transplant then coming out and people not having to wear masks or be in isolation.  I'm pretty sure that isn't the case anywhere.  But, if getting organ donation on TV or in Hollywood would increase donor awareness, then I guess a little "fudging" with the facts can't be all bad.
