After completing the "Death Trilogy" directed by Alessandro (Love is a son of a bitch, 21 grams, Babel), this one feels the most ordinary. As a car accident hobbyist, the director continued the arrangement of a group of unrelated people being brought together by a certain fate. The temporal and spatial sequence of the story is cut into short pieces, and the complicated narrative methods are frequently switched, which somewhat hinders the coherence of viewing and the brewing of emotions, and it is deliberately dazzling. The film is full of stars, and the heroine Naomi Watts is undoubtedly the most dazzling one. The joys and sorrows of the three unfortunate families are different, and she is the biggest bearer of the tragedy. The sense of tearing in the life of her husband and daughter who died overnight, through her delicate and delicate performance, the degree of tragic pain was heart-wrenching, and I couldn't bear to watch it for a while. 21 grams is "the weight of the soul", the theme is the interlacing of fate and redemption, the crumbling heart and soul need to complement each other to be saved. All three people involuntarily developed the selfishness of shrinking and escaping from this pain. Their love and hatred, body and spirit, sin and punishment were spied upon, tortured, intertwined, and gradually disappeared in the intersection time and time again. The feeling of oppression conveyed by the movie is circling in my heart from beginning to end, but life has to go on. Although the soul is light but important, this kind of thing similar to belief, without it, it is difficult for us to grasp tomorrow. There is a Spanish proverb at the end of the film: "When everything burns out, their cornfields will grow green again." It is the strength of "the wildfire can't burn out, the spring breeze blows again", or it can be a kind of release from letting go, Like Tagore's poem. "One night I burned all my memories, and my dreams have been transparent since then, and one morning I threw away all my yesterdays, and my steps have been light since then."
