The movie "Crash" is about the relationship between people.
The film is nearly two hours long. The title was released only six minutes after the first performance. Seeing the previous 30 minutes, I was a little bit confused, because you only met all the characters. However, it will attract you to keep watching, and it will become more and more interesting.
If the plot of the movie can be summed up in one sentence, it is: a series of character relationships involved in a traffic accident.
And the connotation of the movie, but you can talk about it one day. If you are interested in any of the themes of racism, multi-ethnic cultural integration, the living conditions of modern humans in the city, the complexity of human nature, human dignity, family relationships, etc., you can find conversations and extend them.
I like the words Inspector Graham said in the car after the crash in the opening movie: "This is the feeling of touch. Did you know? In any city, you will pass by others and meet you." , Others will bump into you. But in Los Angeles, no one will touch you. We always hide behind cold buildings, like separated layers of metal and glass. I think we miss the feeling of touch very much. We They collided with each other just to feel each other's existence."
Their car was hit by an Asian woman behind. Graham got out of the car and checked, and found an accident ahead. He saw a sneaker and a black youth who died in the distance.
In the inspector’s staring eyes, time went back to the night before:
Two young black men, Anthony and Peter, came out of the restaurant, armed with guns and snatched the new black Lincoln Navigator car of the prosecutor’s couple Rick and Jenny. Later, they accidentally injured an Asian.
The policeman on duty, John and Tommy, chased after hearing the news, but they were chasing another car of the same model. Sitting in the car are TV director Cameron and his wife Christine. John used his power to molest the director's wife. The young policeman, Tommy, was dissatisfied and asked for a change of guard. He didn't know that John was like that because John had just called and asked the black nurse Shannick Johnson to change his constipated father to a doctor, but he was strongly rejected.
Jenny, who returned home after being frightened, hurriedly asked someone to replace all the door locks in the house, but she was not at ease with the locksmith and said something rude. Later, the locksmith repaired the lock to Fahad, a Persian shopkeeper. He reminded the shopkeeper that the lock was repaired but the door was really broken, but Fahad did not understand it. For safety reasons, Fahd went with his daughter Dolly to buy a pistol and put it in the store.
Black detective Graham Walter and his girlfriend Maria are dealing with an accident in which Coklin, an off-duty anti-drug police officer, killed another detective Lewis. In the evening, his mother called and asked him to find his brother Peter, who was away from home.
The next day, police John went to the nurse to intercede, but was rejected again. But then, he risked his life to rescue the director's wife who had been molested last night because of a traffic accident.
The prosecutor asked the inspector to stop investigating the police shooting the day before in order to cancel the prosecution of his brother because of his own image. The inspector succumbed.
Anthony and Peter started robbing the car again, and this time they met the TV director. The director, who had already felt a fire in his heart, fought back fiercely. At the time of the stalemate, it was Tommy who had just succeeded in changing the guard. Tommy was guilty of what happened the night before and released the director, and the director released Anthony again, saying only that he had lost his face.
The shop with the broken door was stolen, and the insurance company judged it to be a negligent loss and would not compensate. The desperate shopkeeper found the locksmith with a gun, and shot the locksmith impulsively, but it was the locksmith’s five-year-old daughter who rushed forward...
Jenny, the prosecutor’s wife , who had changed six butlers a year, was in a bad mood. The maid Maria had a bad attitude and called her husband to change. After the phone was hung up, she stumbled and fell downstairs, asking for help everywhere but no one answered. It was the maid who helped her at the critical moment. She hugged the maid and said, "You are my best friend."
At night, the black Peter finally hitchhiked, and it happened to be Tommy who was driving home from work. Tommy has also become sensitive to blacks due to various events in the past two days. Peter's smile for no reason made him angry. He thought Peter was going to take a gun from his trouser pocket, so he shot Peter first. In fact, what Peter wants to take out is just the statue of the saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers exactly the same as Tommy put in front of the car. Panicked Tommy abandoned Peter's body on the side of the road and burned the car.
The camera returned to the inspector's gaze. He found out that it was the brother he was looking for that died.
In the hospital, the detective promised his mother that he would find the killer of his brother, but the sad mother pointed out that his busyness had killed his brother. The inspector returned to the scene of his brother's death and found the statue of the saint in the sand.
And the Asian woman Gem Lee, who ran into the detective's car, hurried to the hospital to see her injured husband Zhou Jingui. The man told her to cash a check quickly. It turns out that he is a snakehead.
However, Zhou Jingui's unlocked car was accidentally ran into by Anthony. When he drove to sell the stolen goods, he discovered that the trunk was full of sold Asians. He chose to let them go and paid the owner of the restaurant to get them a meal. Then he cursed contentedly: "Damn Chinese!" It was as if others called him "Damn black".
Under the curtain of night, the story did not end.
The TV director who returned home saw a group of children beside the road adding firewood to a burning car, so he went to add a piece. At this moment, there was little snow falling in the sky, and his wife called, he hesitated for a moment, connected, and said: "I love you". After being rescued, the shocked wife cried.
The policeman who returned home after rescuing the man still had to face his constipated and crying father. He could only caress his father's shoulder, but was helpless.
The daughter who survived the disaster under the protection of the "fairy's cloak" fell asleep, but the father, the locksmith, was lying by the window unable to sleep. Maybe he was thinking: What did I do wrong?
On the street, another crash occurred. The fat black nurse and a few men of unknown country who ran into this time. She yelled: "Don't talk to me if you don't speak English". When the camera zoomed out, I saw snow all over the sky.
The biggest feeling from this movie is that all of us are closely related to the lives of those around us. We may be the angels of others, or the hell of others, it all depends on what we do. And because of what we do, it will affect people and things around us, forming a series of chain reactions.
We are like small round buckles on a chain, interlocking and inseparable.
But does this chain end up with a question mark or an exclamation mark?
Unknown, unpredictable.
