Sorry if this is a repost, but I just saw Crash for the first time...
Holy !@#$%^&*!!! what a great movie. Every single moment was emotional and awesome. I don't remember any movie ever making me cry in my life...ever. I cried during Crash. That Haggis knows how to pull your emotions out. There are so many infinite layers to the plots of this movie. I could go on about it forever. Racism, humanity, wisdom and our lack of it, the unpredictability of life....amazing film, and it portrays racism more realistically, from more perspectives, and in more diverse forms than any other film I've seen.
This is a subject I feel strongly about, and I feel like Haggis and the writers have the same feelings about it that I do. I hate it...but its unavoidable in our culture. Even someone who is totally not racist (or thinks they aren't) has to deal with the idea that everyone they meet could be racist toward them or their peers...or even think that they are racist when they aren't. Its an endless paranoia that's everywhere, and sometimes it can grow from nothing or even a good thing (the bad cops Dad's noble story). What an aweful thing.
This is a movie like I've always wanted to make. I, however, could never have written such a tight, complex, and perfect script. I can't get over it.
The story of the locksmith was my favorite and the one that made me cry, but all of the stories were great. Wow. Powerful stuff. Bravo! $6.5 Million to make. Excellent performance from the entire cast, including the green Ludacris. Your thoughts?
