Maria Eladia is AGI's wife. A few years ago they had a son who unfortunately past away when he was only a few weeks old.
I like the quote because it is not a conventional metaphor for life yet it's beautiful without being pretentious and it's simple. Cornfields bring to mind work, care, goods, a sense of hope and a poetic reality...
No matter how devastating was the fire the harvest can grow again...

From IGN.DVD:

This DVD was supposed to have two extras: 21 Grams: In Fragments and The Making of 21 Grams. However, these were removed at the last minute and all we get is a bare bones DVD. There's nothing here.

Columnist Jeffrey Wells of Movie Poop Shoot knows Inarritu and inquired what happened with the disc. Inarritu replied that he didn't have time to do proper extras for the DVD, then said:

"There will definitively be a second edition [of the 21 GRAMS DVD] with at least some making-of material and deleted scenes, along with some commentaries on them. Thanks for sharing your frustrations with me, which I completely understand."

yeah, thanks a lot innaritu. its not like you didnt know this was coming? like, first you put it into theatres, then it comes out on dvd. i dont see how this comes as a surprise? if you needed a little more time for the extras you should've probably talked to focus about that, and made trying not to rip off any possible fans of your movie a higher priority than allowing focus to rush out the movie on dvd in hopes the diminished oscar buzz can get a few rentals.

i don't know how u ppl still bought the dvd when u KNEW that there would be no extras. it's ur fault, that info was posted here before the dvd was released.

i didnt buy it, i'm waiting. but i think filmmakers should be aware/prepared for the dvd as pt knows it is an important part of your movie. its in the theatres for a few months, but on dvd forever, so they should put a little more thought into it.

yep, fully. but in cases where for whatever reason they slip up (tardiness, laziness, stupidity), the consumer should be aware of any possible screw-ups and well, not willingly screw themselves.

ur right tho, the director should prevent this.

fiiiiiiiiiiiiinally, jeez. when they wait 2 years it almost seems like it wasnt planned from the beginning!

2 years for a Collector's Edition and all we get is a 19 minute making-of doc that was supposed to be included on the previous release to begin with! That's it. No commentary. No deleted scenes.
