Crash (Movie)

Anyone seen it?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375679/

Definitly one of the better movie's of the year so far. Hell, even Ludacris (rapper) does a fine job in it.

If you haven't seen it, you should.

speaking of rappers doing well in movies, Mos Def was really good in HHGG

but sorry, no input on that one.

I was really looking foreward to this. Don Cheadle is a pretty talented actor and since he directed this I expect a lot.

I actually thought this looked pretty good. I'll have to rent it.

I thought this was a really well put together movie. Seeing all of those lives interlaced, and how it all ends up is incredible.

Good watch, good acting.. go see it already

Definately a kickass movie. Really makes you look at stuff in a different way after you watch it.

this movie does look descent but i'm hesitant b/c LLcoolJ is in this film.

They will probably kill him in the first 5 minutes and save the movie

You definately analyze your prejudices after watching it.

I don't know about that. This movie rings true to every stereotype: Black aren't law obiding, Asians can't drive and people who can't speak english (if you're in America) are morons. Not much to analyze. Everyone's racist, that's the whole point of the movie (except the persian guy, he was just dropped one too many times on his head while a baby).

You missed the the point of the movie entirely. The movie is about progress in the way humans interact and relate to one another. Yes the racism and prejudice overtones are in the movie but you can sympathize and relate with the characters.

As soon as you think you know what a character is like they do something completely different than what you were expecting. The audience finds themselves sympathetic to those they thought they hated and disturbed by the very people they thought they understood.

One of the best movies of the year imo. Go out and see it.

PS Ludacris does a great job in this. I liked the whole "hip-hop" scene in the navigator and found it very ironic that this was coming out of his own mouth.

LOL yeah dude...but that statement did have some valid points

Well the fact that I don't agree with your interpretation of the movie hardly warrants labeling me as a person who failed to grasp the movie in its entirety. That being said, the movie shows the good side of people and their racist side. If you choose to overanalyze it, do so. In my view it's quite simple - good people can be racist. The movie is one of the better ones to be released this year. Not because of thought out themes and hidden meanings, but because of consistent storyline and well defined characters.

EXACTLY. That makes me leary.

I'll see it tonight. If I don't like it, I'm NEVER going to the theatres again. That's a promise and a pinky swear.
