Movie Review No.8
21 Grams (Rating: 4)
As many critics said, this is very dark and depressing movie. Usually, even depressing movie (like Mystic River) has some funny, laughable parts. This movie doesn't (although still I feel Mystic is more darker). But I found 21 Grams very interesting and memorable.
There are 3 main characters: Sean Penn is a math teacher with a heart problem; Naomi Watts lives with her husband and 2 daughters; Benicio del Toro is a Christian living with his wife. They were living normal(?) lives until an accident happened.
The story is not simple or linear at all. Time goes back and forth, scene goes from one character to another, and finally every piece comes together as one story. You may see its similarity to Memento. Clearly, such intertwined technique is intriguing audience.
Finally, omigod, Naomi Watts!!! (You see it, and you would understand why I am exclaiming.)
