A great picture, but...

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2020)

This film even though it exposes racial and prejudice situations in the United States, the movie did feel rascist to me. It exposed the matters, but didn't portray them in a way that the LAPD is corrupt. I may sound hypocritical cause the films has one of the best screenplays I've ever seen in regards to the Aaron Sorkin approach it took, at least it was for me. The cast was phenomenal. I was surprised that the only one who got an Oscar nomination was Matt Dillon when Thandie Newton, Michael Peña, and Sandra Bullock (although limited) were all great. The editing in this film is nearly perfect, and the photography could have been better to me. In conclusion, this is a great film, but not the best picture of 2004. I loved how every storyline methaphorically ends in a crash and that while are their lives were interconnected, the human touch as Thandie Newton's character said is the way they get involved in their personal lives. Thus the name of the film.
