21 Grams (2003)
8/10
Engrossing
19 August 2008
This movie doesn't follow a chronological order. Every new scene will make you think, was this after this or that. Sometimes you won't follow some parts, but rest assured you'll make it all up by the end.

This style of relieving bits and pieces of everything makes you completely engrossed and set you thinking. Alejandro(I liked his "Babel" too) theme is simply heart rending. Love is simply very hard to measure and understand.

Three protagonist connected with one tragic accident, two of them are left devastated while one gets relief. The pre-Accident, post-Accident and the meeting of the three together forms the story. Anything told more will spoil the movies effect.

Sean Penn in under played role(opposite of Mystic River) , Naomi Watts in an absolutely brilliant portrayal deserving the Oscar, and finally Benicio Del Toro powerful touching character makes this movie a must watch for all its cinematic splendor.
