Style over zero substance mixed with unrealistic racism conflicts

Rating: 6/10 (15 February 2014)

While I admire Crash for raising to the glpry with so little budget(6.5 million was spent to make this film), and how well the money was spent in editing and FX, the film as a whole is disturbingly B level(apart from a few members of the cast, obviously, Sandra Bullock and all)and not deserved at all it's Best Picture win.
It has an abominable script. Period. It doesn't matter if it won various screenplay awards or not. It's terrible. Screenplay's teachers often say that the dialogs are irrelevant - well, in a commercial point of view, yes; but awards-wise, the story is(or should be) completely other. Crash obviously wasn't nowhere near of having the best screenplay of it's year.
And still, Crash has some of the dullest, forced dialogs that I've ever heard, and often they involved racism. Yes. It was so unrealistic that I couldn't help but laugh. It was hilarious. It was so bad that it makes James Cameron screenplays looks like Shakespeare plays in comparison. Is just ridiculous.
The character development is another thing I strongly disliked. For a film that wants to be so 'emptionally involving', the characters are just pathetic. I couldn't care any less for what was happening, and again, I just observed with a smirk on the face all the hilarious attempts of the film to make emotional contriving situations, because really, It was awful, forced and completely unrealistic. But yes, the music and the flashy editing are two things to be appreciated in the film. Matt Dillon acting is good, actually, and the film's pace isn't bad, the film always goes ahead, so it wasn't a boring experience. The editing, in fact, was the only aspect that truly deserved awards. The rest, forgettable and average at best.
I think this film is not worth of your time at all, certainly one of the worst Oscar winners of all time. 5.9/10
