Crash seems to make its own accident

Rating: 6/10 (4 February 2006)

Maybe I'm just naive and I was impressed that this movie had such A-list talent. I thought the script was too contrived and having grown up in San Francisco and being Chinese-American, I would like to think I am "color blind" to such issues. Sure I've had my own feelings of stereotyping other races but not to the extent that these characters did in this movie. I think Los Angeles is an area of 10-15 million and how could this movie so easily intertwine the 10 or so characters in this movie? Hollywood!!! Entertaining, but too much of a morality play. Perhaps a movie of this kind is best shown to an audience in some Podunk town in Alabama where they still think Whites and Blacks should live in separate environments. I for one just thought it was WAAAAAY over the top. Still, I was impressed by the acting. The script just tries too hard to be something of an ABC after-school special.
