And the movie spree continues. Got home early from work today and watched 21 Grams. It's the kind of movie you want never to end.
Written by Guillermo Arriaga and directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu - the same team that made Amores Perros (Spanish - 2001 Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Film) - another film I really want to watch.
21 Grams stars Sean Penn (one of the best actors - watch I am Sam), Naomi Watts (2003 Oscar nominee for Best Actress), Benicio Del Toro (2003 Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actor). The film centers around a car accident, has a lot of parallel stories, cuts from past to present to future and back seamlessly and finally brings it all together, making you want to watch more of the film. It deals with a grieving wife and mother (Naomi Watts), a reformed and religeous ex-convict (Benicio Del Toro) and a dying man waiting for a heart transplant (Sean Penn).
Apparently, the film was shot in chronological order, but they mixed it up on the editing table. The film is called 21 Grams after some experiments that have proven that we lose exactly 21 Grams in weight when we die - this is assumed to be the weight of the soul.
Another must watch. Head to Amazon!
