      Crash--Fear Runs Through People And Society

      The United States today is full of fear. The president is used to using fear to control his people, and the media likes to use fear to deal with the public. The purpose of the director's creation and filming of this film is to explore topics about relationships between people, so that people can re-understand the distorted definition of fear and observe our world again with their hearts. The directors and writers didn't intend to offend someone or provoke a dispute, but just wanted to...

      Crash: Shows the Conflict between Races

      I downloaded this film very early, and I heard people praise this film very early, but I didn't have the heart to watch it until I lost sleep tonight.

      The film is full of thrills and touches from the beginning to the end. The encounters and changes of multiple characters show the contradiction between races and the emotional entanglement between people. The film depicts many characters, complex contradictions, serious thoughts, and many emotional changes. It can be said that the scope...

      Neuropathy seriously exceeds the density in reality

      It's hard to give a particularly high rating. But given that a film is used to capture white, black, Latino, Asian, and describe the problem of minorities in the United States, I will give it a grudging eight.

      If you analyze the dissatisfaction carefully, it is probably due to the unreality caused by the neurosis in the script that seriously exceeds the density in reality. On the other hand, the screenwriter is probably trying to reverse things. Some people can explain things by...

      reticulated immigrant life

      In 2006, it defeated the popular "Brokeback Mountain" to win the Oscar for best picture, and also took home the best original screenplay, which is enough to prove the strength of this film. Numerous and complex story lines, intertwined character relationships, and the butterfly effect caused by a car crash, the most important thing is that from the beginning, the audience is a little unclear, and at the end, the whole story is clearly displayed like a cocoon, which requires a strong Script and...

      Reborn in redemption

      A classmate recommended me to watch the American movie "Crash", which turned out to be the movie that competed with Ang Lee's same-sex movie "Brokeback Mountain" for the Oscars. I almost missed a good movie. Although the title of the film translates into a crash, from the plot of the movie, although it is related to a crash, it is actually a crash, black and white, positive and negative. A strong collision of light and dark. This is a multi-line development story. If you...

      Four-fifths of the space tells you that white, black and yellow are irreconcilable, and the remaining one-fifth will suddenly give you a pot of hodgepodge. Don't you know that the police are going around with little blue lights, do you think I want to go to...

      Society divides people into classes invisibly, so we slowly acquiesced to its existence. Think of the terrible Nazis. If we don’t want that terrible history to repeat itself, we should take a good look at our own...

      A very standard film, worth thinking about, a relatively novel narrative technique, with a seemingly simple car accident, at the beginning of the film, and at the end of the film, the meaning of crash is more clearly explained, the conflict between races...

      The script is well written, but in a movie with similar structure, John Sells' City of Hope is much better than it. I want to lower the score of this...

    Movie plot

    In just 36 hours, an unexpected car accident pushed a group of people who had never lived in Los Angeles before and after the incident into a domino-like emotional abyss.
    The District Attorney (Brandon Fisher) and his spoiled wife Jane (Sandra Bullock) were pointed at their heads by two black boys, and they could only helplessly watch them take away their beloved SUV car. After returning home, Rick and Jane, who were still shocked,...

    Behind-the-scenes

    1. "Crash" has a budget of only 7 million U.S. dollars, but it has recruited star-studded actors such as Sandra Bullock, Don Chandler, Matt Dillon, Brandon Fraser, etc.
    2. After Sandra Bullock decided to star in the film, she actually paid her own money and rushed to the shooting scene. Before Ryan Phillips signed to play the role of Hansen in the film, Heath Ledger also had talks with the producers about this role.
    3. One of the...

    Continuity: When Doris asked for money or guns at the gun store, the owner put the gun directly on the glass counter. After she screamed frantically for a few minutes, she grabbed the gun, which was now placed in a box.
