P L O T
This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers
(Penn) an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to
an English emigr (Gainsbourg), Christina Peck, an
upper-middle-class suburban housewife, happily married
and mother of two little girls, and Jack Jordan (Del
Toro), an ex-convict who has found in his Christian
faith the strenght to raise a family. They will be
brought together by a terrible accident that will
change their lives. By the final frame, none of them
will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about
love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance
can change our worlds irretrievably, forever.

** Warning **
We strongly urge you to watch the original
version before watching this edit!!!
21 Grams, much like Memento and Pulp Fiction, has a non-
linear presentation.
After much hard work, we have finally defragmented the
film and re-assembled it to maintain the chronological
flow.
This was indeed a very challenging task. Compared to
the Memento chronological edit, where we had to piece
it together from over 43 different scenes, 21 Grams
has well over 90 scenes!
From the 21 grams trivia on imdb:
"The film was shot in chronological order (even though
it's not in chronological order in its final cut)."
Although we don't know what the actual order was, we think
we have come fairly close :D
The only scene which seemed out of place is the "group
therapy" scene, which we put at the beginning of the film.
There was no indication as to how she got there, but
since she is referring to her kids and husband in the
present tense, this was the best place to put it.
As with the Pulp Fiction and Memento chrono edits, there
was a loss of runtime due to repeated scenes.
Sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy this fine film!
