21 grams the movie was such a beautifully constructed story. It had the rawest of emotions that are intense. Some may find the content a bit heavy but I thought it was pure craft. The way the story unfolds into each other is fabulous. It’s a film about the basics of human nature. 21 grams is the weight of your soul apparently once it leaves your body when you die.
