Crash

I happened to watch this movie called "Crash" last week. Went with no expectations and really liked it. The only drawback is that the movie has too many characters and a whole lot of events taking place and needs to be watched with great focus to actually understand what's going on. I feel it takes a lot of guts to make such a movie 'coz not everyone can really appreciate it. The movie is about modern day racism and how people face problems related to it under different cirumstances. The whole movie is based in Los Angeles - There are so many things that happen in the movie, seem so un-related, but towards the end you realize that everyone there is connected some way or the other... everyone comes "crashing" together :-) and u can connect the dots.....thats what makes it interesting i guess!!

The movie has a very fast pace of events and ends on a positive note - sends a subtle message that finally we are all humans. People may fall prey to their anger and bad tempers but sometimes life does give a second chance. Definitely worth a watch.

If you like such Ensemble movies.. Pulp Fiction & Love Actually will give you good entertainment too.

"Sometimes we are just so starved for that feeling of touch, that we just, crash into each other."


Seen it thrice. Love it.

Oh btw, it makes a lot more sense on the second watching. You start to get a lot of small pieces that in the first watching one tends to ignore.


Like most movies without a strong temporally sequential organisation.
