Sean Penn - 21 Grams

66.202.27.62

Decided to cough up the $4 and rent 21 Grams the other night. While I enjoyed it, there were a few things that didn't make sense to me - mostly concerning Penn's character. First off, didn't I just see Sean Penn play this same character in Mystic River? Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure he has played this character more than 2x. He's not a bad actor, but Penn seems to be somewhat of a one tick poney as far as the roles his plays. Second - in 21 Grams Penn's character accidentally shot himself in the hotel room, yes? If it was actually a suicide attempt, then I am really confused. Third - what was the deal with Penn's wife (girlfriend?) - the British woman who wanted to have his baby? For the entire movie, he treated her like sh*t. Why was she so keen on having HIS child? Certainly she wasn't thinking that a child would save their deteriorating relationship? And when she said to Penn (paraphrasing here) "you are so selfish, all you think about is yourself" ... was that supposed to be ironic? While Penn was certainly a selfish bastard, especially as he pursued Naomi Watts, I thought this British woman was completely self absorbed and totally obsessed with this pregnancy.
