"21 Grams".
Natural is a rare classic. Alejandro Gonzalez Inalitu's narrative level is basically unrivaled. I remembered that in 2007, I was still renting "Tower of Babel" at a video disc store. When I returned the disc, I told the boss that it was an amazing movie. The person next to me asked what movie? I talked a lot, from the country to the nation, to the faith, to multiple clues and multiple stories, but the person said that I was most afraid of complicated movies and rejected them.
"21 Grams" is a drama that can't be simpler, but in fact the story itself is very simple, but Yi Natu deliberately tells it from the perspective of three people. Many things in life do not just happen to an independent individual. He will cause a butterfly effect in the social circle and even the whole society. "Babel" has caused an effect all over the world. Shaking shots, grainy images, simple but touching lines, unique perspectives, first-class!
Sean Penn's performance in "21 Grams" is naturally classic and moving, and any actor in the film is like an extra, full of interest in life, without deliberate and contrived performances. Paul said: Eating alone is said to damage the kidneys. (While he was chasing Christian) Jack said: My responsibility is not only with my family, my responsibility is with God. (He discussed with his wife the conversation before turning himself in)
Guillermo Arriga is a talented screenwriter. "21 Grams", "Tower of Babel", "Love is a bitch" are all from his hands. The films he directed are equally wonderful. Although Charlize Theron is only equivalent to a cameo in it. But it does not affect the dazzling brilliance brought by the multi-line narrative of the film. He is such a genius. A rare genius.
