Analysis Of The Movie ' An Accident '

Although, Mat got angry because he found out that Kevin was spreading fake rumors about his girlfriend, that she was dating this guy before him and he was the cause they broke up, so when Mat confronted him, he denied it which caused Mat to get even more angry that he started name calling Kevin. Furthermore, Mat even accused Kevin that if he continued he was going to tell the police that he was dating an underage girl.

Paul Haggis directed an Oscar winning film in 2004 called “Crash”, this movie basically talks about racism and the impact it has on the lives of people in Los Angeles. This movie got a good response from the viewers, as it concentrated on some real harsh realities of racism and asked some hard questions which are generally avoided in movies. This movie clearly promotes the a very delicate issue, and hence requires some detailed assessment. I personally feel the movie was good and it portrayed some very common events of racism, I think “Crash” shows realities, but in a not-so-realistic way.

Imagery is used by many writers and this is when the writer uses visually descriptive or figurative language.

     What I hope will happen is for Rufus to evolve into the man Dana knows he is capable to be. A good man, a man that can see pass the color black and see the person for who they are. He is capable of being a man that can treat his slaves not so much as equals, because it is unacceptable in society, but with some respect and acknowledgement as a human being. What I hope will happen is that after Rufus becomes that good man and his good intentions will shine through when interacting with Alice. She ends up seeing him as a changed man, falls in love with him, and bears his children.

After running away from her family Dana is very pessimistic about anything getting better, but throughout all of her tests and trials, she becomes

Dana realizes pretty quickly that the handwork, rape and brutal punishments that slaves face are far worse than anything she could

During an appearance ESPN's Mike & Mike show on Thursday, December 3, Dana said a rematch “makes sense.”

Communication is important in our lives as it enables us to interact with one another, and allows us to form and build upon relationships with other people. However, when communication is not effective or colored by personal biases, it may lead to conflict. In the movie Crash, the characters are faced with a number of social issues, born from their inability to communicate with one another as well as their perceived notions of racial and cultural biases. Through the interactions between the characters this film allows us to understand how interpersonal communication affects individuals be it with strangers, friends, or family.

For example, “... did nothing to block the blinding light and searing heat beating down from above. He opened his mouth… and a raw plume of dry warmth shot down his throat, seeming to obliterate any air or moisture in its path.” (94). This displays imagery because it describes how it made Thomas feel. The reader can imagine how bright and how dry it was. Additionally, “It was a wasteland. In front of him, a flat pan of dry and lifeless earth stretched as far as he could see. Not a single tree. Not a bush. No hills or valleys. Just an orange-yellow seat of dust and rocks; wavering currents of heated air boiled on the horizon like steam, floating upward, as if any life out there were melting toward the cloudless and pale blue sky.” (95). This exhibits imagery by describing what the land looked like. It puts a picture in the reader’s mind. To sum up, the imagery in this novel helped understand what the characters

The author uses imagery to interest the reader in her story that may seem mundane without the imagery. An example of this happening is when Jeannette is going to her new school in Welch it was her first day and the teacher picks on her because she did not have to give the school her records to her not having them as that is happening a tall girl stabs her out of nowhere“I felt something sharp and painful between my shoulder blades and turned around. The tall black girl with the almond eyes was sitting at the desk behind me.

Rufus’ character develops a lot near the end of the book as we realize his feelings toward Dana all to clearly. In the middle of the night he approaches Alice and Dana and says, “You really are only one woman. Did you know that?” Rufus had Alice for his physical needs and Dana for his emotional. We start to see that Dana wasn’t just his friend; he needed to have her, no matter what. His jealously became clear when he sold the slave Sam for just speaking to Dana. He said, “He wanted you…he wanted you.” He then says to Dana, “Your so much like her, I can hardly stand it.” Rufus’ relationship with Dana had gone from friendship and understanding to Rufus wanting more and he aimed to have it. When we see that Rufus was allowing his son to call him daddy finally it was reminder of his humanity. We see that in some ways he was still good, and not racked with intense emotions. However, his humane side diminishes slowly with his irrational wants, desires and need for affection.

This also illustrates how Dana believes she can have a lasting effect on Rufus, to steer him away from the ways of his father. However, she only has a limited period of time to shed her 20th century mentality on him. And, Rufus’ change is not gradual relative to Dana, because every time she returns, she finds Rufus years older, and acting that much more like his father.

After many trips back to the 1800’s, Rufus eventually takes his father’s place when he deceases. Dana believed this would make her time in the Weylin household less taxing, but she quickly realized that Rufus made her want freedom more than Tom Weylin did. Soon after Tom Weylin passed, Rufus sent Evan Fowler, the slave overseer, to send Dana to work in the fields. He believed Dana let his father die and

First and foremost, Dana lives in 1976, works and gets paid for her labor. There is tension between colored and non-colored people at this time, however, this is nothing compared to what she faces when summoned back to the past. Hearing a child screaming and thrashing in a body of water instantly Dana runs over to his aid and afterwards is not properly thanked. Butler writes: “I turned, startled, and found myself looking down the barrel of longest rifle I had ever seen. I heard a metallic click, and I froze, thinking I was going to be shot for saving the boy’s life. I was going to die” (Kindred 14). This incident left Dana confused and

The movie “Crash” - from director and producer Paul Haggis - pictures one day in the lives of various characters in Los Angeles, all of them from different social and racial backgrounds but nevertheless connected and intertwined throughout the story. The movie’s story is being told in a mostly chronological way, except that it puts one scene to the very beginning of the film and then cuts back to the day prior, indicated by the visual text “yesterday”. In this first sequence, detectives Graham Waters and his partner Ria have been rearended when they arrive at a crime scene, leading to a fight between Hispanic Ria and the accident responsible, furious Chinese Kim Lee, involving race-related insults towards each other.
