Great dialogue.....great movie....

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2005)

I am always relieved when a filmmaker (Paul Haggis) dares to trust his audience to understand the nuance and brilliance of what he is creating. With fantastic dialogue and tremendous characters, "Crash" is one of the best films of the year. Playing mightily upon our deepest fears and even deeper convictions about what it is to be human, "Crash" effortlessly hands the baton off to the multitude of characters again and again....
In a 36 hours period, every character created by Haggis is affected by the world around him or her. And while we all like to think that nothing bothers us or affects us unless we want it to, we are quickly shown that is simply not the case. Everyone exists in this unfair world falling prey to the venom spewed forth by the human race.
Genius...
