While the character did significantly help some people a life of continual benevolence could have done more good. If he could have worked through his guilt and allowed himself to be forgiven he could have lead a better life. But who wants to make a movie about that it is far more dramatic to have him give his heart to the one he loves.

As the anouymous posters has so well put this movie has moved me so much. words leave me now to think if the mistake happened to me would i make that choice and after watching this movie makes you feel the human will to make right in someway what they did wrong i know that the choice would be the same for me.If this is a true story then the Tim Tomas(smith) of the movie is a redeemed man in my eyes and i hope Emily can find a love like that again in this world or the next.

I think this film was incredibly powerful! So many critics seem to think that the story itself is preposterous and like written above the death scene is bizarre and unreal. I choose to look at the point of the movie instead. It is the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate choice in redemption. People all over the world suffer and have created atrocities like Will’s character Ben everyday. And many of them are simple mistakes turned terribly wrong, like the character. This is the story of a man looking for peace for what he has done and finding it the only way he knows how. JUst because so many people in this world would not make the choices he did does not make the story unreal, it makes it all the more beautiful. I don’t know how anyone can walk away from that film unmoved by his performance and the final scenes. Even though I knew they what was coming, seeing it unravel before my eyes and contemplating that choice moved me in a way no movie has in years.
