Crash

The film Crash was a definitely a thought provoking movie. To wonder that every action has some of reaction or cause and effect was truly a work of art. I definitely did enjoy the film and have owned it for some time. The acting in the film contributed immensely to the overall picture. The movie shows the racial stereotypes are abound in today's society no matter how much equality we desire. This was evident in the writing of the film, from the time the African American couple were pulled over for driving an fancy vehicle or when the Hispanic locksmith was blamed for the door to the shop that had been burglarized. The are several story lines in motion at one time, with each you feel what is being expressed by the director of the film. The setting of the film is in the city of Los Angeles where all nationals reside was the back drop of the the film. With each character you get a back story of what nationality they are. The film does show that their race are capable of preforming that particular stereotype yet at the end of the film many do exhibit different moments. People watching this film will definitely realize the importance of acceptance in other races or cultural if not then lines are drawn for chaos or hatred. This theme seems to be the ambition of the film as explained in our text. Some key moments in the film that back up this notion is when the cop strips searches the couple in the escalade, basically raping her during a traffic stop. Or when the Arab goes to find the Hispanic guy and shoots only to find that blank shells are in the gun and the little girl is up harm. All actions taken by individuals affect something else. Like this review, it is written someone will find it and wanna to watch the show because of it and form their own opinion. This film was featured on Oprah and garnered attention that it would otherwise not have received. And through word of mouth people did see it and hopeful made society a whole lot better in thinking of how we act or think.
