It just keeps going in a circle, Prejudice equals prejudice. Life connects. I have never seen such racism in my life. The irony that is in this movie is astounding. For instance the cop that molested the black woman also saved her very life. The white upperclass woman found a friend in a person that she had great resentment for. This is a great movie in my opinion, it shows independent instances that are tied together by fate. It also shows how people often blame others for their own personal shortcomings. Once again it shows that being a good samaritan doesn't always pan out but it tells you that being a selfish prude will get you nowhere in a hurry. One of the many morals that i got out of this wonderful movie is that you should forgive people for their shortcomings because you have your own.
The title of this movie just goes to show that something as little as a simple crash can ignite intense racist and discriminative feelings. I believe that it is also a reference on where human society is headed if we don't stop the bigotry, bias, social dismantlement, and the destruction and dehuminization of others and their cultures. Racism is not the only stigma that is shown in this wonderful film. Just to mention a few, stereotyping, discrimination against class, social stature, and even a simple background. Just because you live in a certain place or grew up in a horrible social environment, doesn't mean that you'll act to specific standards that are associated with that scene. Many people take one look at a person and they think that they have single handedly summed that persons entire mental structure in less than a minute. But there is no substitution for getting to know that persons thoughts, feelings, and preferences on certain ideas or ways of life. I give Crash a rating of 10 because of the eye opening reality that it shows.
