"Paul Rivers:
How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams... at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained? Twenty-one grams. The weight of a stack of five nickels. The weight of a hummingbird. A chocolate bar. How much did 21 grams weigh?"
First of all,Definetly not for everyone.Some people would found this boring and confusing.Believe me...
But for me it was very emotional movie for me.The film brings to life the struggles that exist in all people. The things that happen in life bring people together and push others apart. When tragedy strikes, all people cope in different ways. The three characters, all fabulously portrayed by Penn, Watts, and Del Toro gave me the stark realization that life weighs a lot. Life weighs more than any of us can imagine, and it is something that some people take for granted. The relationships people develop for different reasons have meaning, and all actions and decisions have purposes, regardless of when or how they are made. Upon reflection, this film represents the idea that no matter how deep into a downward spiral someone may be, there is always hope at the end. There is light at the end of the tunnel.This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers (Penn) an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English emigré (Gainsbourg), Christina Peck, an upper-middle-class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little girls, and Jack Jordan (Del Toro), an ex-convict who has found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family. They will be brought together by a terrible accident that will change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably, forever.Alejandro González Iñárritu's penchant for non-linear chronology in his cinematic storytelling is perhaps at its most heightened in this powerful 2003 drama.They have with a gritty, heartfelt look at three disparate lives brought together by a single twist of fate and how each copes uniquely with the aftermath. "21 Grams" is initially confusing, but the out-of-kilter pacing actually fits the jagged contours of the desultory story which deals with the unpredictability of life.Noami Watts gave one of the best performances of her entire career.Sean Penn is stunning as always.And Del Toro always surprise me with his talent.The acting was one of the best in recent history,screenplay was amazing,equally edited,awesome direction.
Score was perfect.It made me think a lot of things even after the credits roll.
One Of The Most Emotional Movies I've Seen Recently.
The film itself is like a jigsaw puzzle. During the movie's run you are randomly handed puzzle pieces, then at the end you are forced to put the all the different pieces together as fast as you can.
One Of The Highlights Of 2003.
Stunning...
P.S If you want to see an unrealistic and uplifting movie, avoid this. -
MCT:October 9, 2008You know what I hate? When a movie is a big puzzle you have to put together near the ending. It wasn't entirely out of control, the ending was mostly linear and congruent, but still...pissed me off. Like a retarded mockery of that movie Babel, or something. It would have had a fair story if not for the jumping around. I felt like I just got drunk before watching it, that's all.
