Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })21 Grams is a 2003 American drama film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and written by Guillermo Arriaga. It stars Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Benicio del Toro, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Danny Huston.Like Arriaga's and González Iñárritu's previous film, Amores Perros (2000), 21 Grams interweaves several plot lines, around the consequences of a tragic automobile accident. Penn plays a critically ill academic mathematician, Watts plays a grief-stricken mother, and del Toro plays a born-again Christian ex-convict whose faith is sorely tested in the aftermath of the accident.21 Grams is presented in a non-linear arrangement where the lives of the characters are depicted before and after the accident. The three main characters each have 'past', 'present', and 'future' story threads, which are shown as non-linear fragments that punctuate elements of the overall story, all imminently coming toward each other and coalescing as the story progresses.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Artistic License – Biology: Iñárritu and Arriaga even admit that they used the "losing twenty-one grams" motif as a form of this.

comment
The Atoner: Deconstructed with Jack. He genuinely wants to do good and atone for his actions, but comes across as condescending, hypocritical, and selfish, not really thinking how his actions will affect his family.

Babies Ever After: Rare dark example. Christina is pregnant with Paul's baby, but the news is broken at the same time he dies.

Anachronic Order: For example, the reactions of the other two in the motel after Paul shot himself is seen about a half-hour in. Though the plot becomes more understandable about an hour in.

Abusive Parents: In an Establishing Character Moment, Jack not only lets his son hit his daughter, but forces her to take another hit, quoting scripture. Then hitting his son for his act to begin with.
