Does Race Matter when you Crash???
Crash Boom Bang: You assume too much
" Crash " is a strong movie with excellent performances and a powerful message.
This movie is 100 percent politically incorrect from beginning to end, and it showcases many of the stereotypes and prejudices that many different ethnic and racial groups feel toward each other.
Stripped of any degree of subtlety, this movie is direct and to the point, with harsh, offensive language as one of its key driving points.
Several different events take place in " Crash " and at first, the movie doesn't quite seem to make sense.
You witness individuals making rude, abrasive, and often antagonizing statements and gestures toward each other.
racial/ethnic stereotyping.
As the movie progresses, different pieces start to fit together into one (mostly) clear picture.
You quickly discover that Graham and Peter are brothers, even though they live very different lifestyles.
You witness the moment where Matt Dillon's character is on the scene of a car wreck and is placed in a position to redeem himself when it comes to his racial feelings.
The couple in the wreck just happens to be Cameron and Christine - the same people who Dillon encountered earlier and harassed in such a nasty way.
Now, the situation is very different.
The couple is trapped inside a vehicle that could blow up any second.
.. Or will he succumb to his old attitudes and leave them to waste
Everything seems to come together in this film as you watch.
Some of the characters reconsider the way they feel about those of different races and ethnic groups.
Others are tested, and the way they respond is unpredictable.
Sometimes, the have a hard time shaking off these old feelings of prejudice and racism even when it seems pretty clear that their narrow view of the world isn't always correct and sensible.
And as the movie shows, there are some instances ( like with the store owner one's own race adopt some of the same feelings about their own people.
One word of warning: Crash is very emotionally disturbing.
Of course its nowhere near as perverse and disturbing as David Cronenberg's film by the same name from a few years ago.
Be careful what you rent.
You may get a rather, uh, surprising movie if you don't read the description.

CRASH COURSE ON RACIAL RELATIONS IN MODERN TIMES
This movie has all sorts of surprises.
Then, suddenly, they pull guns from their pockets and steal an SUV, scaring its two passengers to death but leaving them unharmed.
There are several other shocks and surprises that come out of nowhere as this movie explores the topics of race and prejudice.
And the movie ends with two cars crashing into each other and its respective drivers spouting off all sorts of prejudices against each other.
In effect, its the same cycle of racial stereotyping all over again....
Racial stereotyping is the main theme of this movie and the characters in the film have no qualms about verbalizing exactly what they feel.
Its like each character's subconscious is exposed, all forms of editing have been shut down, and they proceed to say exactly what they think.
Iall of the performers in this movie.
The standouts among them include Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, and Michael Pena.
Everyone is good, but some of the performers, like Sandra Bullock, don't really get the camera time that the others receive.
Don Cheadle is on the screen the most, and he is his usual calm yet intense self. Ludicris is another surprise in this movie.
He shows that his talents go beyond singing- he also knows how to turn up the heat behind a camera.
This movie is, overall, a very good one and its the type that will stand out in your memory for a long time.
After watching it, those around me began to discuss the film's intricacies and how its message holds true for many of the people in the world.
Part of it was a little exaggerated, but any movie that gets people to think is certainly a Gr8 film.
And " Crash " is a very good movie, with strong performances, superb direction, and a powerful script that makes it intriguing and memorable.
The dumb people wouldn't get it, of course, but those with brains might see something here and learn something.
Everyone wants to be respected.
Everyone deserves to be respected.
And when we fail to give and receive respect, we crash into each other.
If there really is a " Sin City " out there, that lack of respect, perhaps, may be the greatest Sin of all.
While it's not exactly a groundbreaking film in its theme and style, " Crash " is still an intelligent and harrowing film from Paul Haggis.
Thanks to a wonderful ensemble cast, this film is surely to become one of the memorable touchstones of post-9/11 America.
While the film will raise more questions than answer into the behaviors of the world, it's clear that this film does provide a lot of real insight on the views of racism.
In the End, Paul Haggis' Crash is a film that will leave people Questioning their own Prejudices.......
