hello guys,

what’s up?

yesterday i was looking for good movie to watch, so i checked my local cinema website for the new movies and showing times,

“21 Grams” was in the list, then i checked [www.imdb.com](http://www.imdb.com) for the movie and i found out that the rating is really good it’s 8/10

the movie is really different style, the events were mixed togethere in intersting way. Also, i liked the idea they wanted to show us at the end

anybody watched it ?

elya :snug:

oh no wonder it has an 8/10…it has Sean Penn in it. For some reason I don’t like this guy. He over-does it in some of his movies.

21 Grams is great. If you like films on a higher level than the usual Hollywood no-brainers, you’ll enjoy it.

The mood is quite pessimistic and the story itself is hard (not that there’s blood everywhere, it’s not horror), so don’t go watch it if you’re looking for happy entertainment. 😉

I hear ya there thor :thumb:

Too bad the goofy bastard still has a pulse. He went over to Iraq as a human shield. That would have been great if he took a cruise missle to the dome.

BEST… MOVIE… EVER…

No, not quite but best movie I’ve seen since Requiem for a Dream. It’s style is reminisent of The Usual Suspects a bit (even Life of David Gale if you want to go that far).

Personally, I’m a HUUUUGE fan of movies that make you think: i.e. Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, Matrix, Se7en, etc. 21 Grams ranks with the best of them that make you think.

21 Grams was a great movie! It is very memento like in the progression of the scenes, so it was not unique, but it was very well done nonetheless.

I also saw the director’s other movie “Los Amores Perros”, and that movie is excellent also. It’s in Spanish, but thank goodness for subtitles.

Cheers!
