This Is Deep!

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2013)

I have watched many films in my life, yet for some reason this one has eluded me for quite some time. Anyway I finally decided to watch it and boy am I glad I did.
"Crash" beautifully mixes racism in society and combines it with the butterfly effect (for those who may not know the butterfly effect is the belief that a small change in one place can lead to an overall big change), to give an incredibly interesting look in to attitudes on race in society. There was honestly not a moment in this film in which I was bored, but there was a sex scene within in the film which I didn't understand the purpose of as it didn't feel like it belonged or was even related to the rest of the movie.
All of the actors play their parts incredibly well, I was particularly impressed with Sandra Bullock as well as Ludicrous as it felt like they totally embodied their roles. You truly end up caring for all the characters and understanding what they have to deal with from their point of view and yes awful things do happen to some of them. Yet the movie doesn't beat you over the head with it's message, it lets you come to your own conclusions. Is this movie totally depressing?, No. is it thought provoking?, Yes no other movie has made me think about myself as a human being more than this. It may be hard to find but Crash is a movie about progress and within its message there is Hope.
Now the only reason for which I have not awarded this movie a 10 which in all honesty it probably deserves, is simply due to the movie poster. For some reason whoever made this particular poster decided to give away a major plot detail. That is all. Other than that it is the perfect film.
