I wonder, if "Crash" can get an Oscar, why can't "Pulp Fiction"? Why can't "Love is a bitch"? Perhaps the flashback of the film is different, but it is not more ingenious than the latter two in such an interlaced structure. In other words, the theme of the film is more realistic and profound, especially in revealing racial conflicts, which has a deep warning significance for American society. But I feel that for an outstanding work of art, it should not only speak to the present. Universal humanity and eternal truth are the true artistic value. So in my opinion, the themes of "Pulp Fiction" and "Love is a bitch" are broader and can infect audiences all over the world. Of course, this film is indeed a very complicated and deep story. Maybe everyone can get their own interpretation. For example, the explanation of the connotation of "car crash" at the beginning-each of us hides behind the car window, and treats people to people. The contact between them was so missed, so I took advantage of the crash to find this feeling. This reveals the coldness on the surface of industrial society and the distortions behind it. It's just that the theme of racial discrimination is too sharp and obvious, and it doesn't directly point to people's hearts, but it obscures the audience's thinking about this universal meaning. This is undoubtedly an outstanding movie, but in my mind it is definitely not as good as "Broken Arm Mountain". Although I haven't read the latter, I'm so sure.
