How much does life weigh?

indeed, how much does life weigh?

that is the question presented in the movie '21 Grams,' another one of Alejandro González Iñárritu's wonderful creations.

and its said at the end, that a human body loses 21 grams when they die, is a really interesting fact to know.

i think this movie was one of the finest performances by the people involved. sean penn, naomi watts and benicio del toro. truly amazing. and the pace of the story (well, the story doesnt flow, its kinda like 'pulp fiction' and 'memento,' where the story is bits and pieces and you eventually figure out what the whole story is about, amazing technique) was just perfect, and because of that, the audience (should) develop some attachment to the characters involved because of it.

i was really blown away after watching it, i think it became one of my tops.

i watched 'girl, interrupted' after that, i guess i must have been really tired and sleepy, but i didnt think that the movie was that great, though interesting, it didnt really have much to present, just another experience by some author.

the past few movies ive been watching has been great, i hope this continues with the right selection of movies that i have stored in my powerbook.
