What pain is there in life, and what sorrow is in death.

Paul, a patient awaiting a heart transplant.
Jack, a reformed devout Christian.
Kristen, grateful and enjoying life after detox.
A traffic accident changed the trajectory of walking, life and death, crime and punishment, circling.
Life, Paul got a heart, a successful operation, and a new life.
However, this was in exchange for another person's life.
Christine's despair, Paul's wife's hope, a misunderstanding, missing a tiny bit, a thousand miles away.
Religion, faith in Jesus.
Jack took the words of the Bible in his heart, his thoughts: if someone hits you on the right cheek, even turn the left cheek for him to hit.
Yet, even when it comes to living anew with kindness and repentance, God is not fair.
God knows everything, but God is not limited to "good", weak arguments.
Disregarding family responsibilities, he resolutely chose to surrender himself.
The sin in his heart made him breathless, and he could not be relieved.
Confused, hesitant, and depressed, Christine.
Falling in love with the new owner of her husband's heart, she blames herself and struggles endlessly.
Redemption, the so-called savior, does not exist at all.
Escape, can't solve the problem, forgive, release others, clamp yourself.
What pain is there in life, and what sorrow is in death.
The suffering of the world cannot be understood, it is Jack who survives and survives, but it is Paul who shoots a bullet into his chest.
"How many times can we live?
How many times can we die?
They say that the moment a person dies,
they lose 21 grams of weight.
Everyone is the same. How much does
21 grams weigh?
How much have we lost?
When did we lose 21 grams?
How much is 21 grams?
How much do we get?
How much do we get? The weight of
21 grams of
five copper plates is the weight of
a hummingbird. How much does
a chocolate bar weigh in
21 grams?
"The Weight of the Soul"
is dull, pathetic, and depressing from beginning to end, and the narrative is refined, detailed, and ingenious.
The reality and the past flash back, but the seemingly meaningless shots are important images that must be fixed to connect with each other.
The cinematography style, the director's intention, and the unique editing are all in one, in perfect harmony.
