One of the best movies in recent memory.

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2005)

"Crash", Paul Haggis' birth-child, (from "Million Dollar Baby" fame) is a brilliantly written and directed masterpiece. This movie centers around around 5 or 6 main characters, and how a car crash brings these seemingly random people together. They each learn "a lesson" in the process, and the lesson usually has something to do with racism. This is one of those movies that makes you think, and in a good way. The way it is presented is not forced, or that you HAVE to believe what the writer believes, (A.K.A. Michael Moore movies), but it does it in a non-threatening way. People have compared this to "Magnolia", which makes sense, but there's a little more sense of realism in this movie. What also impresses me is the actors. Brendan Frasier, Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, and LUDARCIS are all in this movie, and they aren't actors you'd expect to be in a serious film. But, they are all amazing. Hats off to them for trying something different. To sum things up, go see this movie. Now.
