jessy zaki It is known that 21 Grams is shot in a non-chronological order. Usually this kind of story 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, conscience and the fragility of life. It is said that life weighs 21 grams only, so what does it deserve from us? It is rated R for scenes of bloody violence, pervasive language, drug use and sexuality/nudity.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a mathematician, a mother and a felon, who deal deals with a painful event that connected them together.The story is presented in a non linear timeline, and the events are presented in short segments. Concentration is definitely needed to understand the film, as you'll miss vital pieces of information to understand the story. As the pieces fall into place, the story is very powerful. Every character in the film has a baggage, and it's just very emotional and touching.

said-buet10 Without a doubt this is one of the best I've ever seen. I'm writing this after watching it for the third time...I guessThis is another great movie from Iñárritu who i think is one of the best directors of recent era. If the story is stripped down to it's basic form its simple and we've seen movies showing that before but here it is turned into an extremely good screenplay and Iñárritu transformed it into an art.The acting is so good that I often felt like I'm witnessing real emotion screaming out of the screen. Everyone in this were amazing. Sean Penn, Naomi Watts & Benicio Del Toro was great at their roles. This is the best performance of Watts in my opinion and I was shocked to see her not winning an Oscar. I haven't seen Charlize's Monster. I hope its mighty good as she came on top over this amazing performance at the Oscar. Penn and Del Toro just increased my respect for them even more with their works here.The editing,the music and the cinematography was extraordinary. The sharp change of visual and musical tone corresponding to what's being told at this nonlinear storyline was just great.I liked everything about it. This is very good and I think every movie lovers should watch it at least once in their life

SnoopyStyle This is an interconnected story of tragic figures in a non-linear time line. Cristina Peck (Naomi Watts) is a recovering drug addict, a suburban wife, and mother. Her husband and girls are killed by ex-con Jack Jordan (Benicio Del Toro). The husband's heart is donated to Paul Rivers (Sean Penn). Paul breaks up with his wife Mary (Charlotte Gainsbourg). He tracks down the donor and begins a relationship with Cristina who returns to drugs. Jack turns himself in despite his wife (Melissa Leo)'s objection. Cristina refuses to press charges but then talks Paul into killing him.The acting from the three leads and everyone else is top-rate. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu's use of non-linear story telling can be controversial. For me, it sharpened my attention as I disentangled the narrative. It heightens the intensity. Also this method of story telling had yet to wear out its welcome. It does get overused after this. The acting is simply remarkable.
