1. 21 Grams is celebrated for its use of non-linear shots and/or non-chronological order. Does this lend to the style and appreciation of the film, or detract from it? How or why? Is This approach better than telling the same story from beginning to end.
2.Discuss the use of colors and film stock in the film. How do these contribute to the overall mood and impact of the film? Do the colors and lighting change as the film goes on? Examples? Do the “grainy” black-and-white sequences have an underlying meaning within the film? Why were they shot in this way and how do they add to the overall themes of the film?
