Review of 21 Grams (2003) by Shahriar R — 21 Apr 2012
It is known that 21 Grams is shot in a non-cronological order. Usually this kind of sroty telling is used for the thrilling factor, but this is not the case here, as this movie falls in the genre of drama. Be patient as the the whole picture will be clear at the end-and not before the end-.
Actually, Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu used this technique to deliver the puzzling situation and coplexity of characters, that they carry their pasts which stands as stumbling blocks infront of going on living their futures.
For performances, Sean Penn is fine as always, Del Toro is great, but Watts in incredible(she got the nomination of the academy award for best actress). All the charactershere have their faults that they do not deserve your full empathy.
21 grams is about grieve, revenge, consience and the fragility of life. It is said that life weighs 21 grams only, so what does it deserve from us? If you want to know, go and watch it now.
It is rated R for scenes of bloody violence, pervasive language, drug use and sexuality/nudity.(copied).
