Tagline: They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death... everyone. The weight of a stack of nickels. The weight of a chocolate bar. The weight of a hummingbird...

Plot Summary: This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers (Penn) an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English emigré (Gainsbourg), Christina Peck, an upper-middle-class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little girls, and Jack Jordan (Del Toro), an ex-convict who has found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family. They will be brought together by a terrible accident that will change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably, forever.

Comments: Best of 2003. 21 Grams is packed with incredible performances by Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, and last but not least, Benicio del Toro. The movie makes you piece a puzzle together which may be distracting to some but personally, I believe it's a brilliant technique. It just requires a bit of patience for the first 30 minutes or so, afterwards, the pieces start falling into place. The most gripping aspect of the movie(IMO) was the questioning of the existence of God and why God chose to put such difficult obstacles in the paths of these characters. Benicio del Toro plays Jack Jordon flawlessly, with such guilt and despair visible through the glare of his eyes alone. All in all, a sad movie with a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. DO NOT miss this one!

Comments: Watching this movie is kind of like looking at a piece of abstract art. At first glance, one may discover what it means with ease, while it may take others many more glances. And for the simple minds that lack creativity, they will never discover its meaning. An important thing to note, Lynch was a surrealist painter before making films, and it heavily reflects in his films. He is the most creative storyteller I have yet seen in the film industry.
I think the many characters, eccentric as they may be, give flawless performances. It's the first film I've seen with Naomi Watts in it, and she is now my favorite actress. She gives an unbelievable performance, having to take on multiple character changes throughout the film.
Remember that film is an art form, and very few directors realize that, and that's why their films bomb horribly. It's quite obvious why Lynch rarely comes out with a movie. For those interested, if you haven't seen his old TV series Twin Peaks, check it out. It's much simpler, but still involves his surreal creepy surrealism. Anyways, I won't ramble any further. Go watch the movie. You'll still love it even you don't understand it. It being my favorite movie of all time and probably will be until I die, I will rate it highly. 10/10
