Cut a few supporting characters to enlighten the protagonist. I don't know how the filmmakers feel about these words.
Anyway, none of the protagonists listened. The sky is falling, and they just don't want to live a good life.
The best movies are those with dramatic and major changes, and the difficult ones are the narration of daily trivialities.
"21 Grams" is the former, which has a story, but something is obviously missing. When the director made "Babel", in addition to the better handling of the timeline, the details, lines, and character performance were also more "normal". I saw the couple played by Brad Pitt quarreling. Isn't that line myself? ? When I was a freshman in high school, I didn't understand anything. When I caught a glimpse of my cousin reading "Please Answer", one of the mothers cut off the tube of the body lotion that was about to be used up, and pressed the remaining point with her hands. At that time, I felt , this show seems to be a bit powerful.
This movie doesn't have those elements.
Although the protagonists are resisting, they are all passively resisting. In fact, I don't understand the two protagonists except Jordan. Why they do this series of things is purely self-defeating.
"21 Grams" does not rely on dramatic gags. It shoots life and human nature. After all, the title of the movie says it straight: After a person dies, a part of the weight will disappear, which is the 21 grams of the soul.
So he filmed major accidents and wanted to talk about the truth of life.
But I don't understand what the movie is about. All I can think of, what this movie can bring to me is that when I encounter major setbacks in life and become frustrated and even lose hope, look at the lines in the screenshots, and I can encourage myself: life has to go Go down!
I haven't seen many movies of this type, and I can only think of two or three. I'll fix it later when I know more.
I think what is best understood and attractive is Jordan's change. The following is what I wrote casually when I just read it yesterday:
Although they are all familiar faces, this is the third time I try to watch this movie, and I finally finished it, two hours later. For the first 20 minutes, I have been wanting to complain about the handling of the timeline. I can see that I put a lot of effort into it, but I feel that I am not mature enough. It tastes like "Memento", but it is obviously fragmented. The plot after the car accident is getting better and better. The state of each protagonist is well described. A large number of close-ups of characters, cool colors, and shaking shots create an atmosphere of despair, like "Transcendence". When I watch it, my mind always flashes back to walking through the corridor of the hospital's intensive care unit in junior high school. The emotions at that time are very similar to when I watched this movie. I was particularly curious about what Jordan would think of God in the future, but the director did not continue filming. It's just that he has done so much and is still alive. He started by pointing to his truck and saying, God gave it to me, and the truck killed three people. In the Bible, Abraham had no doubts about God, but God asked Abraham to kill his own son to show his faith in him, and Abraham did. Jordan's car accident is very similar to this story. God sent him a truck, which caused him to kill a man and two girls. How to deal with this contradiction? He was not Abraham, he was angry and desperate, and he scraped off the tattoo of the cross on his hand with a knife.
Paul plotted, but didn't kill him. This part of the follow-up treatment is not in the movie. It directly tells that Jordan came to the door not long after, forcing him to use a pistol to his chin, with a grim expression, eyes closed, and ready to die. I don't know exactly what Paul was thinking about the whole process, but Jordan was desperate, and he would rather die than accept God's betrayal, or abandonment. Paul certainly didn't kill him, he shot, he shot himself. Jordan told the police that it was homicide in an attempt to accept punishment. But apparently, it was dismissed after a police investigation. Paradoxically, Jordan repeatedly wanted to be punished, but was let go. I don't know if at the end, when he looked at the glass window, he would think that the car accident was actually a test from God.
