A work of a writer.

Rating: 1/10 (6 April 2006)

The problem with Crash is it FEELs like a work of a writer. You can see how some guy got an idea one day, found out a clever way to weave stories around it, then bam, made a movie.
So what is the problem? It lacks of sincerity. Characters became pawns, existing solely to carry the writer's message. What you get in the end with everything added up, is equal or less than the writer's message! Brokeback Mountain, on the other hand, did an extraordinary character study, its characters become so real that Ang Lee thanked Ennis and Jack in his Oscar acceptance speech, and everyone who enjoyed the movie felt the same. With everything added up, what you get transcends any messages or ideologies.
