An intense cinematographic experience

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2006)

With all these comments, both negative and positive, about Crash, I had to participate and present my point of view. Not that do people from the US care about a Mexican's opinion, and I'm really from Mexico, not from Puerto Rico nor any other Latin American country.
I almost missed the incredible experience of seeing it on theater. Wow! It's been one of the best cinematographic experiences I've had. And yes, it has its flaws, but I think we all go to the movies to enjoy the experience, not to criticize every scene, every technical detail.
For those who say the film is predictable, well, you were not involved in the movie, then. And it must be boring for you to go to the movies and know what's going next. I pity you.
For those who say all characters are stereotyped, well, think about this. We see stereotypes in people we don't know. Yeah, we have friends who are black, Latin, Asian, or other race, and we know they are not like they are shown in the film. But what about the people we don't know? we refuse to have contact with them, due to the stereotypes we have. Think really about it. That's what the movie is about, how we treat the people we don't know, how we reject them without really knowing them, avoiding contact, and this because of our prejudices.
Too many coincidences? well, it's a movie, it's a fable. it had to be like that. And you're not paying attention to the people around you, but it happens in big cities. People are not that distant from each other.
The music, the editing, the acting, and the writing were simply superb. I really can't understand why some people don't appreciate all of that.
I loved this film! and it really hurts to see how some people treats it like trash... as they surely treat people they don't know similarly.
Crash.... a truly deserving Oscar winner.
