Dear Editor, While out-of-sequence editing may have become a recent fad thanks to Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, I believe it not only works well in 21 Grams but adds considerably to the story. The message of the film, to me, is quite obviously the need for one to think through an issue before acting on it. The nonlinear representation of this story demands attention and forces the audience to think while watching. There are far too many films out these days that do not require much more from the movie audience than the price of admission. I thoroughly enjoyed having to spend two hours totally consumed by what transpired on the screen and came away not only entertained and stimulated, but I learned a valuable lesson as well.
