21 Grams(Review)

Been doin alot of downloadin this few days...downloaded Goodfellas, Almost Famous, and 21 Grams(staring Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and Naomi Watts....now i must say that all these movies featured the best actors and actresses of our time....Robert De Niro, Kate Hudson, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro just to name a few....

Okay to be honest the onli reason i downloaded Goodfellas was because it had Robert De Niro in it an the fact that i luv mobster/mafia movies...i think i was 10 or 11 when my dad handed me the best mafia book ever written....Mario Puzo's Godfather....the screen adaptions directed by Francis Ford Coppola were even better.....i think he did a fantastic job of describing and bringing to life Marlon Brando's role as the Godfather...

Anyways back to the movies i recently downloaded...among these 3 movies, onli 21 Grams left me thinking...i wouldnt say its a brilliant film cos i felt the camera direction wasnt that good and the intro was confusing....not to mention the unnecesary nudity and the bad impression it gave of Christians.... its a movie about 3 different strangers who either had near death experiences or lost somebody close....the thing that got my interest in the movie was the fact that at the exact moment someone dies, his/her body loses 21 grams....

Now that really got me pondering....wat exactly is lost at that last moment?....how much can we fit into 21 grams?.....how much is gained?...questions with answers i might never know til i lose my 21 grams...the events of the past weeks haf reminded me that life is short....we onli live once...21 grams....i'd like to think of it as my soul lifted up to heaven....it might weigh 21 grams...i spose i'll find out when the time comes....but not yet....definately not anytime soon..hahaha....anyways all of them are pretty good movies...i'll definately be downloadin more....time to hit the sheets...Zzz
