“Not What I Expected…” Seriously, when I went to see Crash at the theater, I expected something different. What I got was a story about racism, drugs, rape, inter-racial sex, and more. I don’t remember too much because I haven’t seen it since. I wouldn’t recommend CRASH!!!

Everyone should see this!  This movie is an educational piece on cultural behavior that is very moving and makes you think. You see people who are highly against other cultural groups transform and subsequently carry out acts of kindness to those they previously hated. You see virtuous individuals in situations that cause them to act hatefully towards another race. It demonstrates how even if you ‘think’ and ’say’ you do not discriminate, perhaps you really do. Great movie! … Gave as a gift and recipient was very pleased The acting is outstanding. Don Cheadle is incomparable. Sandra Bullock does well in a departure from the sweetheart role. Jennifer Esposito shone. Many more good performances. This film was memorable and I recommend it. … Trite, manipulative, one-dimensional… Atrocious piece of junk…. Amazingly horrible film Crash is a completely trite, contrived, overtly racist movie where the characters are caricatures of racial stereotyping at its finest. This movie drives the point home, so far home it went down the toilet and into the septic tank. “Racism is bad.” Yes, we all know that, but after watching this film your racist way of thinking might not be subdued. No, in fact it might grow and make you become more racist; which is NOT what this movie’s message is about. Also, this movie tries so hard to pull at our heartstrings, but if you’re able to defy its attempts, you’ll see that Crash is nothing more than a poorly-made film with no redeeming factors whatsoever…. |

This movie was unbelievable. It touched issues that every race existing in the United States faces on a daily basis. It goes farther than the ‘race issue’ normally categorized by blacks vs. whites. It broaches the hispanic, middle-eastern, asian, and black-on-black stereotypes that many of us who don’t face racism regularly tend to ignore. I found it paradoxical the way that the characters in the movie all exemplify the stereotypes that they would like to be exonerated from.
I really enjoyed Ludacris, Don Cheadle, and Terrance Howard in their respective roles. Matt Dillon also surprised me; Dillon has spent many movies typecast into sleazy roles but his character actually makes a metamorphosis that the audience can feel and understand. Decent acting on his part. I can’t say whether I think that this movie deserved to win Best Picture, but it was definitely a worthy contender.
