I know a movie is good when it makes me cry!

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2006)

The first time I saw this movie I came in at the end and had no idea what the heck was going on. Don Chelda was holding a statue in his hand and the emotion of the scene made no sense to me. I only saw the end of the movie but I was compelled to see all of it. When I finally did have a chance to see the movie I was completely blown away. One reason I loved it some much was because my favorite actress (Thandie Newton) was in it. The other reason was because I found the movie to be masterfully done. Crash contained everything from love to hate, losing one's self and finding one's self, and tender moments to sheer chaos. I found myself being angered by what I saw (Thandie Newton's character being molested in front of her husband (Terrance Howard) by a racist cop (Mat Dillon), being amazed by the scene of the little Latino girl who was unharmed by the Persain man's bullet as she was trying to protect her dad, and being utter disheartened by Don Chelda's character losing his brother to death and his mother to his brother's death. I know a movie is good when it makes me cry and this movie made me cry several times.
