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!
