cruelty is sometimes justified

On the bus, the man sitting next to me would shake his limbs at intervals, and his mouth would make sounds like foul language from time to time. He tried hard to stay within the seat space, and the movement was either knocking on the seat in front or down.
I was reminded of Tourette Syndrome. His voice and movements kept repeating, and with each stop, there were more and more vacancies in the car. I secretly encouraged myself to resist the urge to change seats and be at peace. Perhaps, they are trying not to disrupt other people's lives, but they cannot avoid people's isolation. The range of his movements suddenly increased, and I was startled. Finally, I lost my fear and changed to a separate seat.
He snapped and moved his seat. I felt a little guilty. I don't know why, but I always felt that my behavior was inappropriate. Annoyingly cursed himself.
Before he got to the station, he stood up and stood by the handrail at the back door, perhaps not intending to sit again. Only then did he see clearly that he was carrying a transparent folder, and when he stood by the door, he looked very gentle. When he got out of the car, I was still looking through the window to see if there was any constant weird movement - I just wanted to make sure my judgment was accurate.
You have to know enough to not be afraid.
People's pity for the world, like pity for themselves, is often pale.
I admit that I'm a little too naive, not afraid to open my arms and hug people who need hugs.

The fringe between the same group, cold, defensive, like "Crash". A good movie makes people of different skin tones recognize their indifference, ignorance, and sensitivity to another group, so that they each take a step back and make room for each other. There is no such good movie in China. Although, the director's approach is also provocative.
Great movie, great music. But when I liked the white youth police officer, he opposed racial discrimination and tried to resolve a conflict caused by skin color, but in the end, he mistakenly thought that the black youth who hitchhiked was going to attack him, and he shot him without explanation. I can't help screaming, why is it arranged like this? He couldn't escape this shackle in his life.
Well, finally I quiet down. This kind of picture must appear in the movie, so that such incidents can be less likely to occur in reality, and that people who step into the cinema can get a wake-up call when they walk out: Human beings are bad, but we can still love each other a little more. .
I admit cruelty is sometimes justified.

    The plot is intricate and complicated. It is almost a footnote to the chaos of the current American ethnic issues. It is dedicated to showing the irrational violence and ethnic hatred in the depths of human nature. The unrelated characters are unrelated but interlocking and interacting with each other, falling into a domino-style harm circle. . Everyone becomes impulsive, paranoid and even vicious after being hurt by other ethnic groups, passing the pain to another unrelated weak person, causing anger to cause a chain reaction like a car crash. The plot design of some conflicts and coincidences is rather blunt, but the flaws are not concealed. The film itself is an allegorical film.

    Racial discrimination is a topic, but what we really want to talk about is accident, or to use a big colloquial term: fate. Just like a car crash, two unrelated people are suddenly linked together; at the same time, the performance of the two people in this fate is not isolated, but is affected or even determined by other fate. Thus, an infinite and non-circular thread was put through.

Crash quotes

  • Lara: It's a really good cloak.

  • Lucien: You watch the Discovery Channel?

    Anthony: Not a lot.

    Peter: They got some good shit on that channel.

    Lucien: Every night there is a show with somebody shining a little blue light and finding tiny specks of blood splattered on carpets and walls and ceiling fans, bathroom fixtures and special-edition plastic Burger King tray cups. The next thing they show is some stupid redneck in handcuffs who looks absolutely stunned that this is happening to him. Sometimes the redneck is actually WATCHING the Discovery Channel when they break in to arrest him. And he still can't figure out how on earth they could've caught him!

    Lucien: Psst. Do I look like I wanna be on the Discovery Channel?

    Anthony: No.

    Lucien: Then get the fuck outta my shop.
