CRASH
i was channel surfing last night when i stopped at the Oprah channel for some reason and found out that tonight's guests are the cast from the movie CRASH. I remember buying a DVD of that title months ago but it ended up gathering dusts on my drawer. I bought that CD because i heard that it really was a great movie - with high-caliber stars, unfortunately it got buried by the new DVDs i bought along the way.
As the show moves along - i was getting deeply intrigued by this movie that i quickly shovel my way down to my DVD pile and pop the DVD inside my player. The movie is really all about racial discrimination in the US - the first few scenes will blatantly tell you all about it. Black men carnapping only the white guys in new york, white cops molesting black people, etc. etc. Other races are pitched in too - mexicans being tagged as gangster, asians are always seen as low-level caregivers, and Persians are seen as Arabs. The movie reminded me of LOST the series - since all characters are interconnected in one way or another which makes things interesting.
Each lives are touched or changed in many ways by their own prejudices - which is really heartwarming. The ending feels mixed but will still leave a mark in your hearts that you will surely remember until the coming months.
The story is really not that great but the story is really heartwarming - i give it 4 out of 5 stars.
