I'm starting to sense a theme around the film

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2006)

The night before the Oscars, my mom and I rented as many movies that were nominated as we could. North Country, Walk the Line, and Crash. To be honest, I really thought Brokeback Mountain would have taken Best Picture, but Crash did the surprise turn of the Oscars and took it.
***************SCENE SPOILER***************
Now, in my opinion still, Brokeback should have taken the Oscar, let's face it though, the Oscars are loosing their touch. But Crash is still undoubtedly haunting and very true. It's a terrific movie that makes us look twice at the way we talk and treat people of the other race. The one thing I really loved about this film was the redemption of all the characters at the end. My favorite scene was when an Arab man's store is robbed, so he wants to kill the man who installed his locks, but when outside the man's home he is confronted by the Arab, the guy's little daughter jumps in front right as the Arab takes a shot, lucky enough the gun's bullets were blanks. But it was if the child was an angel protecting both men.
Crash is a beautifully haunting masterpiece that everyone needs to watch due to the fact that we need to take a good look at ourselves every once in a while. We all could relate to this film and that's what made it great. It was just utterly heart breaking, but so true. Every character made a round about sort of speak and realized the error of their ways. That's why this is an important film.
The movie not only makes us realize how much anger is in our lives but also how much we need to control it. I never thought that a movie like this could come out, but I give the screen writers an incredible amount of credit and thanks for helping us realize the daily hatred we have and need to get rid of.
10/10
