Divergent lives intersect dramatically

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2007)

I'm usually a little tight with my stars but I must roll them out for this one. WHAT CLEVER WRITING!!! I give this gem 9 stars. If anyone wants to give it 10 I won't argue.
As you know, there is always human drama in movies, more or less. In some movies the human drama is central and in others it's incidental. I generally prefer the latter (I'm sooo, sooo shallow, I know). The reason I mention this is because Crash is a human-drama type or focused movie. And I LOVED it (there's hope for me yet, and possible you, if you're like me).
Imagine your life as a thread which may or may not have significant drama. Now imagine this thread that is your life coming in contact with other threads, other people's lives. In doing so, it can either add drama and/or receive drama or have no noticeable effect. The movie Crash is about several people, from diverse walks of life, who at some point intersect (and sometimes re-intersect) to add or receive drama. The result is that a bigger drama involving these people is created in the form of an intriguing web of lives.
Finally, before I sign off, let me say that I have a few choice words for any other commentator on IMDb who saw this movie and did not roll out the stars. On second thought, I think I would prefer not to give or receive any drama. Love, Boloxxxi.
