Brilliant and Oh So Accurate

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2005)

This movie is so wonderfully written and meticulously interwoven that it is a shame that the most people will actually get from this movie is that everyone has prejudices and there is usually no shame about it. The way I saw "Crash" was as a true reflection of our society today and as with any unsatisfactory reflection we either look at it and dismiss it or attempt to do something to improve what we see- for the sake of everyone I hope for the latter. This film will probably garner many comparisons to "Traffic" which would not do it justice. "Traffic" was a semi-accurate, over-glamorized Holllywood version that merely scratched the surface, leaving the only similarities in the two films to be the intertwining of more than one story.
