crash raises issues in blatant way

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2007)

I thought crash was a very well done film, but overly exaggerated the issues and racial tension present. I agree that there are significant issues regarding race that are troubling this nation, but some of the scenes of crash were not too believable. To clarify, people do not usually openly verbally attack others with racial slurs and tirades for relatively no reason, and the fact that all these people and their stories are interconnected is too much for me. Yes there are racist people but all of them reaching a breaking point at the same time culminating in a climactic ending is too much of a stretch. Overall it was another clever writing scheme that involved a dozen characters who through seemingly unrelated events come together in the end and their stories piece together nicely for cinema. I don't know about everyone else, but i am getting kind of tired of these kind of movies. Best picture... I don't think so.
