21 Grams

*All of us carry more than we think. The weight of our souls. * The movie’s non-linear timeline mirrors how trauma affects memory. people remember events out of order. Memory is not chronological. understanding comes slowly, past events are mixed. I like the fact that no character is fully innocent, no one fully guilty. What remains is weight: the “21 grams” of the title is for the burden of human existence. the soul may be light, but the consequences of life are heavy.
