A crash of ideas and values

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2006)

This film is about 7 groups of individuals whose lives intersect on a certain day due to two car crashes.
This film tried to examine the issue of racism, racial stereotypes and power. It also looked at good and evil; sometimes even the best person can be evil and other times the bad person can act gracefully. In this aspect, the film succeeded.
However, I found the first half of the film too extreme. To see Ludicrous' character putting every single thing in his daily life to the product of racism was far too much. I worried that, instead of making people beware of racism, it was spreading racism and radical ideas.
The plot of interwoven story was not undone before. The way that the characters interconnected was obvious and required little brain work. In this aspect, I preferred another film 11:14 starring Hilary Swank which was interwoven much more cleverly.
