The film is very good, and as the story unfolds, it shatters all your sultry summer restlessness.
A story that can be made in four movies, with a rifle, connecting the stories of the United States, Mexico, Tokyo, and Tunisia. The fates of the characters are no longer intertwined like love is a son of a bitch (21 grams and love is a son of a bitch structure), but as Alejandro always has the attitude, life is a series of accidental events. The film reminds me of the butterfly effect. The Japanese who hunted in Tunisia many years ago gave the guide a rifle. The guide bought the gun for the family. The sheep-herding child originally used a gun to protect the sheep from the wolves, but the young brother shot the passing vehicle down the mountain in order to prove the power of the gun... The woman who was shot... the child... The stories are just so reasonable. Unfolding - breathless.
Alejandro is probably a fatalist, so behind his ingenious narrative structure and documentary-style realistic shooting, there is always a deep pessimism behind him, which will shock you. 21 grams is just that. In comparison, I like this one more, the tone is not so pessimistic, real, indescribable.
