Now that the movie is out, it's become common knowledge that Will Smith is playing a man who arranges to donate parts of his body "seven pounds" of his flesh to individuals in need of transplants.
User Ratings Rather, she gets his house as a safe haven from her abusive boyfriend. As Ben doles out salvation, choosing the righteous from the undeserving, he presumptuously plays God. As an actor, there are certain parts of a character that you create, and you train yourself to have those reactions and then it becomes hard to stop them when the role is over.
So therefore, the movie is also. His brother calls, but Ben denies having taken something from his house. He sees bravery in suicide, rather than in sticking around to do the hard work of living.

Which also is proven by Tim because he take a long serious and rigorous approach to find the right people. There is no meaning behind all of it because he used to be successful and think his life was meaningful and now that he has killed people Tim feels his meaning is changed.
So as a result Tim thinks dying will undermine any meaning of a life he used to have. Also the movie has a lot of internal and external meaning that comes from a Philosopher Wielenberg.
Wielenberg says that internal meaning is if a person is better off existing or not existing and doing something worthwhile. Wielenberg also says external meaning is if your life brings goodness into the world then its external. During the movie there is no debate on whether or not Tim has internal meaning because during the whole movie he acts that his internal meaning is to die and help others.
But the external meaning in the movie is different in separate parts of the movies. He gives people happiness and hope when he approaches them as a IRS worker to help and give them smiles on their faces and makes them feel welcome.
Then once he dies for those people his external meaning changes to Tim being able to help keep people alive or give them organs they want. Which the later was more important to Tim because he felt his death was more important than him living. Another main point made was that Tim picked all these people out to receive his organs based on the fact the human race was going to continue and the people he would give life to would continue.
This is a point made by Scheffler that our life will be linked to future generations.
