The film has an interesting name, "Crash". After watching the film, I would like to ask a question. Does this film come up with a series of ideas based on the title, or after thinking about the story, come up with a series of amazing ideas, or the title, the ideas appear in the mind of the playwright or the director. In your head? For me as an ordinary viewer, this is simply a question of "the chicken or the egg". It seems to have been said in the "Bible" that it was the first chicken.
I won't talk more about these, let's talk about my understanding of the film and some immature feelings.
The film is a multi-line narrative, there are several groups of people connected with each other, basically connected with life and death. But everyone in the film has a subtle relationship. The film uses a rigorous narrative to link this group of people together like a coincidence. Let us, as a bystander, have a glimpse of what a group of people with different identities, different statuses, different values, and worldviews experienced in a few days in a certain place in this city. The movie crashes and ends with a crash. From the beginning of the crash, one by one, extremely obvious racial discrimination flooded the audience's eyes. The audience was dizzy and saw a lot of dark or sad things. It's just that a movie that makes people a little bit sad can't be regarded as a success. Of course, this film is not so simple and sad. With the development of the plot, the emotions gather a little bit, and a little bit of the plot becomes tense, even making people forget to feel sad or uncomfortable. As a result, unexpectedly, even everything changed: those who wanted to kill failed to kill, those who did not want to kill accidentally killed the person in need, the rescue of the enemy made the victim at a loss, and the originally honest lawyer took advantage of the convenience to try to save. The younger brother was accidentally killed by a young policeman who had just entered the police circle. Everything happened simply, seemingly silently, without disturbing other people in the city, but it deeply moved my audience's hearts. I understand that what ultimately infects people is the tortuous, accumulated emotions, and the huge and silent changes in characters, things, or values are the ones that move the audience the most.
Listening to Eminem's song, I remembered the line in the film "Give me a rope and hang a nigger." This is the lyrics of a song, which is terrifying and unimaginable. When discrimination becomes a certain social culture or opinion, it is unacceptable and irresistible. Blacks, Asians, Americans, and many other people from different countries are constantly pouring into the United States, perhaps just because of an American dream. In this way, people with different cultures and different values gather in places where they shouldn't meet, big fish eat small fish, and then the small fish bites the big fish. Different groups of people hurt each other and then help each other. It is ridiculous to think deeply, but it can be thought-provoking. At the end of the film, it ended with a small car accident. The two parties involved in the collision quarreled with each other, and the passers-by stopped and watched. They might be discussing: Ah, another indifferent but interesting little dispute. This may be because the director deliberately reminded us that the big things will be changed into small ones, and the little ones will be changed into nothing? But it is this small matter that embodies the most serious social problem. It can never be solved, why can't it be solved. At the end of the film, a kind-hearted black gangster released a group of Asian stowaways on the bustling streets of the United States. When the stowaways were walking slowly on the street, they looked at this strange world with their eyes open. Hand touching the seafood for sale in the shop, when they squatted on the corner and didn't dare to sit down. Seeing this, we can imagine that at every moment there are people with the American dream who travel across the ocean to realize an unbeautiful dream, and to find unnecessary disputes and unhappiness. Unhappiness is necessary, disputes cannot be resolved. I can only wish them all the best, what else can they say?
See the big society through small things, and see the fragile human nature and occasional flashing qualities behind the bustling world. This film made my long silent heart excited again.
