Deliberately watch it for Keaton's mastery. Having been months since last seeing it, still, the day Queen Latifah knocks on the door, when he shows how hard it is to walk, is the second stark reminder of how good he is. The first is as he dies. The only performance of dying that has that world-class quality is Christopher Reeve in "Somewhere in Time".
Keaton's character choosing to leave his child various videos as they occur to him, especially the one about shaving, is what wells the tears for me. You can touch the feeling Keaton is capable of evoking.
Like some of the other comments, I agree I was astounded that he didn't win the Oscar that year, much less not even nominated. Yes, Tom Hanks was incredible in "Philadelphia". It's apples and oranges.
I disagree that the Chinese attitude toward his anger was hokey. Anger does become illness.

Rented Running with Scissors last night; watched as it worsened, and all I gotta say is WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Finished without the ending. Beyond "darkly" -- hideously! -- dysfunctional people. I think it was in the directing. When you think back over it, each person's morass is common, psychologically. It's just so poorly done and exaggerated, and the timing -- the pacing -- and the sequencing -------everything is bad but the acting. Annette Bening is incredible throughout, especially once she's drugged, but just as good in her other phases. Alex Baldwin perfectly depicts the robotic alcoholic, and Gwyneth Paltrow is funny, showing how righteous, her Bible thumper. The others are furniture. Don't bother!
Came into the middle of this last night, having seen it from about the same point the first time. I was determined to hear the exact quote at the end: "They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death," narrates Penn, who goes on to muse, "a stack of five nickels? a hummingbird? a chocolate bar? How much does 21 grams weigh?" The violence, when I turned my head, was worth it first to see Melissa Leo again, her natural power so missed from NYPD Blue, and the signature understated grasp of Sean Penn. The beautiful direction, putting the pieces together the way a book often is, assumes your intelligence, which is refreshing.
But this contention at the end, I find fascinating, logical, and insightful to choose as the title.
I say the movie is worth every minute.
