Link to 21 Grams?

Just saw this movie and throughout it I couldn't help being reminded of 21 Grams. Cecilia Roth looks a lot like Naomi Watts, and they both loose their loved ones in a car accident. Then that car accident links the people who caused it - Antonio Banderas' character and Huma Rojo. Then she goes to that city to see who got her son's heart, same as Sean Penn's character, right?, only the other way around. Then both Roth and Watts' characters return to their old lives, except Roth's is much happier for the most part.

Does anyone else agree? =)

Yes, I thought about the same thing, and so does IMDb, look under "movie connections", and you'll see.

true

but i never knew Antonia B starred in 21 Grams

I always thought it was Benico el Toro.....

i guess i was mistaken

it *was* benico.

another similarity i found was with the lettering at the beginning of the film, its very similar to the lettering used in the promotional ads that were later used in 21 grams.
