Sublime...

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2012)

"Crash" won the 2006 Oscar for Best Picture. I don't quite understand that, as IMDb lists the release date as 2004. Well, whatever...all I know is that it is without much doubt one of the most unique and emotional films I have ever seen. While it is NOT a film I recommend to everyone (see later in my review for more on this), it's a brilliantly creative film that is more like riding an insane roller coaster for 110 minutes! Seriously.
Describing the plot in this film is VERY difficult. In fact, if I tried, the film might seem ordinary but it certainly isn't. Suffice to say that the movie consists of many separate stories in Los Angeles that all come together in a strange tapestry. And, most of the stories involve gun violence, race prejudice and misunderstandings. I just can't say much more to describe it--see it and experience an emotional film that will leave you numb and make your heart skip a few beats.
Now as I said above, the film is not for everyone--though it is brilliant. There's a lot of harsh language (necessary for the plot--not gratuitous) and the movie is a serious emotional roller coaster. You will probably feel about to cry and it will affect you--I can't see how it can't. It's amazing, actually, but so intense that I don't recommend it to kids or folks with a weak heart (I am serious). Watch it and be amazed.
sublime--something that is beyond words.
