Incredible and Remarkable

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2006)

Brilliant dramatic masterpiece by director Paul Haggis.
Crash stars Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Terence Howard, Larenz Tate, Matt Dillon, Ryan Phillipe, Thandie Newton, Chris "Ludicrous" Bridges and Brendan Fraser. Stunning performances by Don Cheadle and Matt Dillon, and that's just some. This film is seriously sad, so many sad moments and is very comparable to Traffic, the only difference is this topic is about Racism, not just to African-Americans, but to Oriental people and White people and all colors. If you see a man on the street and he has needles coming out of his beard and he has blonde cornrows. and he walks up to you and he's a doctor and soft-spoken guy, then you judged him wrong and that's what Crash is all about. Never judge someone simply by looking at them. You don't see a movie half the time you're watching this movie. It's very believable.
Actually, the entire cast was believable. Great cameos by Keith David, Tony Danza, and Daniel Dae Kim. This is one of those movies that you can't get enough of, this music is very sad for it's moments. The music is awesome. "In the deep" and "Crash" are the best. Bird York's(who also has a cameo)her voice is perfect in "In the Deep." Kansascali, demonstrates perfectly what the movie is about. Watch the video to see what I mean.
The movie about four story lines Don Cheadle as Det. Graham Waters(and his relationship with his girlfriend/partner and his family), Brendan Fraser as Rick Cabot and his wife Jean(and her racist actions), Matt Dillon as the racist Officer John Ryan and Ryan Phillipe as her rookie partner, Officer Hanson,(how Hanson thinks of his partner). Terence Howard as Cameron, the TV producer and his wife, Christine played by Thandie Newton.(their marriage after Farhad and his daughter, Dorri(a young Persian woman and her short-tempered father), Larenz Tate as Peter and rapper Ludicrous as Anthony (Peter & Anthony's look on life and their actions). Michael Pena as Daniel, the locksmith and his daughter(everyone seems to pre-judge him.) In my opinion, all the story lines were awesome and simply powerful as hell. Definitely worth a look.
You must pay attention, though to actually understand it. So, if you going to watch it, no kids in the room, turn off your pager or your cell phone and sit and prepare to be left in awe. Spectacular film, destined to become a classic.
