A Perspective of Life's "The Rest of the Story"

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2013)

"Crash" has been my all-time favorite movie since its release in 2004. The character development of the principle actors/actresses is brilliantly woven through simple, short, everyday frustrations and circumstances. "Never judge a man until you've walked in his shoes" is my self-assigned moral to this movie. In a sort of round robin, viewers learn about each character in succession, but unlike most movies, this story line is not content with "villains". Crash suggests in not-so-subtle terms that even hateful characters have very good reasons for being the way they are. The writers go to great lengths to explore these perspectives and, in a truly refreshing art form, leave the viewer convinced that we are all in this life together.
