It just wasn't that good

Rating: 5/10 (9 March 2006)

The film was just average. I think it is such a stretch to conclude that because a movie deals with a tough subject, it is quality. Crash was a series of clichés finely weaved to look like coincidence. In reality, our racial engagements are far more subversive and much more cowardly. Why, because the stakes of misbehavior are so high. This is why racism in public hasn't been dealt with honestly since Rosa Parks sat in the front that bus.
When people "crash" racially, we are usually far more bent to the extremes of passive acceptance or a full out class action lawsuit. The actual physical and personal confrontation of racism are usually so powerful you don't need a movie to capture them because they are on the front page of the news. To narrow the realities of the situation to a bunch of predictable comments by pretty actors is just not very respectable.
