Best Move I wish I hadn't saw

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2005)

I know that the world is a horrible place where people regularly do all sorts of horrible things.
Crash is likely one of the best assembled films I've seen in a long time full of high levels of human fallibility in the characters.
Still, I think the film might have set a world record for use of the word "racist" and its variations.
The ensemble cast and the writing are well above-board.
I would have liked to felt a sense of hope after watching the movie but in going from being sickened to having tears in my eyes, the film just was a little too intense for me.
Let my error be a lesson to the over-sensitive or easily offended. This is tough, gritty stuff, and there are enough different characters and stories to follow where I found a bit of myself in it and cause for self-examination.
I tip my proverbial hat to the powers that be for having the guts to put this great work together and let it exist for our perusal. Perhaps that is the saving grace for me in watching this film, is knowing that regardless of what I think of the world, there are people out there who will tell stories like this and stray from the usual trifling fare that we are inundated with.
