Analysis Of The Movie Crash

We do not see any detailed back story to any of the characters, but we know just enough about them as the director wants us to know. They are a variety of races show in this movie; African Americans, Hispanics, a Persian family, and Asians. Every switch of a scene is done to intersect the story of the previous scene with the next one, for example we are introduced to the Cabot family when two black men steal their car.

Crash is a pseudo-commentary on the society after the 9/11 attacks; yet, I felt it went strangely downhill after the first 30 minutes. Like the writing lost all grip on what is real and made reality seem worse than it is. Granted, what would I know; I’ve never been further west than Tampa. But I have been to the worst places in the UK. And it’s not bad there, not nearly as bad as Crash makes “ghettos” seem. I’ve experienced some tough things in life, but in all seriousness, Crash takes most of it and blows it up to an extraordinary

The 2004 film: “Crash”, featured actors such as; Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, and Terrence Howard.

The movie Crash is based off of the stereotypes that people believe about racism. This movie showed how different people life’s crashed into each other. The point of the film is to show that people shouldn’t believe every stereotype that they are told, but should consider the possibilities that all people of different races are in some form alike. There were two main characters in this movie, that had a different story, but same mindset of how they would want to live there life at the end. The two characters that stood out to me were Anthony (Ludacris) and the character Daniel betrayed as the Hispanic locksmith. Even though these two characters did not crash into each other’s lives in the movie they had similar stories. When watching them from

Plot Summary: Crash can be summed up as a movie that chronicles the prejudice nature of each of its characters in the lives of strangers who are intermingled in a variety of situations to expose that racism effects everyone. In my opinion, the message to the audience is clear: to preach the dismissal of prejudice and acceptance of all races and genders, regardless of one’s own ethnicity.

Without a doubt, my favorite character has to be Dorri, the Persian daughter of the shop owner, Farhad & Shereen and his wife. Despite constantly being in the line of prejudice fire, she always keeps her calm.

The title of this film, Crash (2004), is significant in at least four different ways. The most obvious meaning is mentioned in the opening scene where Detective Graham Waters says “We think we miss that touch so much, we crash into each other just to feel something.” Detective Waters is referring to the hundreds of crashes that occur in Los Angles every day that he believes people “need” to feel alive. Cars and car crashes are major plot devices that are used in this movie to cause people to meet each other. Another significance of the title is a crashing of cultures.

Each character battling their own demons of grief and redemption. With a cast such as, Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, and Thandie Newton, at least 1 Oscar was expected, though 3 was no surprise. As the film progresses and the credits start rolling we are begin to wonder if the film has really come to an end, and question if this is the film that really won 3 Oscars. Over a few days we meet a random group people on the streets of Los Angeles.
