How heavy is the soul

Gonzalez's scrambled editing is very stylistic. It is different from Guy Ritchie's interlocking and Quentin's circular narrative. Gonzalez's editing is fragmented, but it lacks hypocrisy and has a very style. Sharp. In addition to disrupting the timeline and fragmenting his editing, he almost interspersed the fragments randomly. The editing of Guy Ritchie's "Two Smoking Guns" is already quite messy, but the progress of the timeline can be vaguely seen. In "21", the director puts the timeline of the story at the beginning, and then pulls the middle part to the front, and later, in the middle of the movie, he talks about the beginning, and then the end, the middle, The debris is almost guarded casually, but the audience does not feel chaotic, which is really rare. I think this kind of editing will probably allow him to fragment the tragedy and make it real. As far as my limited viewing volume is concerned, no director can make the tragedy so lifelike, so realistic, so helpless, touching one's inner soul. Everyone in "21 Grams" lives in pain. Even the so-called bad guy (the one with the tattoo) lives in guilt and pain every day. No matter how painful it is, isn't life going on? This is a bit similar to the theme of "Alive". People are pushed by life, and the way of life and suffering has never been determined by any one person. Tragedy is painful, but it is the pinnacle of art. Only poets who have experienced the disappointment of life can create works that touch the depths of their souls. 8.7 points
