"CRASH"


"moving at the speed of life...we are bound to collide with each other..."
"CRASH" will definitely rock your mind. i've never seen a movie so powerful in its use of words and imagery.
Crash is a film of people of different races and ethnicity, moving and colliding in each other's lives. not exactly a "power" cast -- with few known hollywood residents (Bullock, Dillon, Fraser, Bridges & Phillipe), but has created the right mix for each character needed in the film.
Crash has everything: drama, humor, love and action. what i like best about the film is its treatment on the subject of racial discrimination. not too heavy & not too light which makes relating to the character's way & experience of disrimination not too difficult.
IN OTHER WORDS: if you've seen "jologs", this movie has been its inspiration! the film awakened my conscience not only about racial prejudice but on discrimination as a whole. i had mixed reactions while watching the film: got mad over the insensitivity of the whites, furious at the blacks gangsta way of life and pity for victims. shall i say it again?! DEFINITELY A MUST-SEE!
