I was blown away

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2006)

There are many films that I believe should not have won best picture, and I am happy to say that this is not one of them. I recall watching Jack Nicholson going up to announce the winner and thinking to myself "another mistake." But when he said Crash I literally pulled a Tom Cruise and jumped on my couch. You can trust me when I say a movie is good because it truly is. This movie isn't good, it's excellent. It is the most emotional and controversial film I have ever seen. The acting is superb, even from Ludicrous who was great. I was most impressed with the acting of Matt Dillon and Thawndie Newton. Newton and Dillon both gave the performances of their lives as a racist troubled cop and a disturbed angry wife. I am however very upset that Paul Haggis, the best screen writer today did not win best director. I have never been touched by a movie like this before, so thank you academy, thank you Paul for this 10/10.
