Crash

İt was an amazing!!!!.This is Life!!!10/10

I've watched movies running the gamut of genres, including some of the most gruesome splatter films including _I Spit On Your Grave_, the _Hostel_ franchise, the entire (so far) _Saw_ franchise, and even _The Human Centipede_.... but nothing I've watched has ever made me as uncomfortable as this film did. It's easy to see why it won Best Picture...and it's easy to see the supposed indifference and blasé attitudes of some of the comments on here: this movie hits all of us right where we live, and for some, it's preferable to shrug it off and say, _"Meh, whatever."_ than it is to admit _"I saw myself in this movie, and it was not pretty."_ The truth - and it's revealed here - is that we all have prejudices, we all have biases, we all stereotype other people just because they're different than we are. And we paint with a really broad brush in spite of what comes out of our mouths. This movie reveals that, and it's extremely unsettling and uncomfortable...which is why there are so many half-hearted "whatever" comments about it. None of us want to face the truth that we fall into the same traps, prejudices, and feel the same scorn and disdain for others as what is so elegantly portrayed in _Crash_. I applaud the entire cast and crew of this movie for an absolutely amazing performance and for peeling back the layers of who we are and showing us how ugly society really is. There are good and evil in humanity...always have been, always will be. But it's completely unfair of us to paint so broadly the way that we do. This is my second time to watch this, and I'm glad I watched it again. Don't know that I would ever want to sit through it AGAIN, but it definitely bears seeing at least ONCE with a clear and open heart. Very touching, very emotional, and sadly, very revealing of the humanity in all of us.

A smart and provocative drama, Crash challenges audiences with complex racial and social issues. Set in LA during Christmas, the film follows several groups of people, including two police officers, a pair of thieves, a Hollywood director, a Middle-Eastern shop owner, as their lives intersect. The discussion of race relations during the season of “Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward Men” is quite apt, and while the racial messages may be heavy handed at times, there are some truly powerful moments that stay with you long after the film ends. Equally as impressive is the ensemble cast (Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Ryan Phillippe, Terrence Howard, Thandie Newton), as each actor delivers a strong, compelling performance. Shades of gray and ambiguity surround each character, giving them an authenticity that keeps them from becoming two-dimensional stereotypes. Additionally, the filmmakers refrain from giving clear-cut answers, or making judgments; letting the audience come to their own conclusions instead. Crash is a raw, hard-hitting drama that takes a challenging look at society, and forces the audience to confront their preconceptions.

WARNING: Emotionally engaging!
This movie covers so many areas of life it catches you at least at one point.

Totally deserves the 3 Oscars & all the other awards - specifically for "Best Motion Picture" & "Best Writing".
I love it when the writers made it so that all the characters are interconnected and they don't even know it - it's so great :)
I saw it a few times now & it gets me everytime, especially the scene with the little girl.

An excellent movie distinctly for mature audiences. For someone living in Europe this shows America as it is behind the curtain. Besides that it is playing so many emotional chords that you will definitely get touched by one of the scenes. Witty dialogue that makes you laugh out on more than one occasions. Favorite character is the television director - especially when he goes berserk. 9/10

Emotional rollercoaster from first to last minute. Permanent uncomfortable and epic. Highly recommended to have a view for the "why" in live.

Muy buena pelicula, de historias que se cruzan, de coincidencias, de fobias, de rechazo, de prejuicios para con nosotros misma, pero que al final, se puede deja una gran lección. Muy emotiva, varias historias que llegan y excelente guion, muy buena la forma en que esta fue contada. Es un drama bastante formidable, la recomiendo.

Several separate stories or dramas that are somehow linked. Great movie about LA society.

Good movie and emotional. 7.2/10

It's not an awful movie, but I can't believe it actually got the best picture Oscar over Brokeback Moutain.
