Crash (2004) :
Brief Review -
Heavy and dark but a positive dose on racial and social hatred. Crash is a story of society varying cultural thinking and traditional mindset of people that brings some positivity for sure. Set in Los Angeles, Crash tells a story of several people with different cultural thoughts about other cultural people and that somehow is more about hatred than the kindness. But by the time film ends it reverses the mindset by giving an important message on humanity and sociality. There are multiple characters in the film with regional and cast diversity such as Black people, White People, Persian People, Arab and even Chinese people. The trick here of taking all the stories forward simultaneously set in different conditions, different place and then colliding each other logically works smoothly. Some people had to die, some are survived so you feel sad but it was part of the narrative and people shouldn't take it negatively. Director Paul Haggis took a gutsy script and delivered it accurately. He made all the actors act naturally. Despite so many characters and so many racial events, the film loses pace at some occasions which is reluctant. Apart from that you need a positive thinking throughout to understand what film want to say about humans and thier behaviour. Couple of incidents will make you emotional, some will leave you with a guilt and some will disappoint you but the overall impact still remains fantastic. Crash is a Perfect Film to win Oscar as Socially important films have always been favourite but Crash did actually beat contemporaries in 2004. A Classic !
RATING - 8/10*
