we can make it

God decide humans got a little too much hubris and so made their lives miserable by giving everybody different languages.

It's all about a movie. A movie rose above because of the oscar, but gives a profound influence upon me far from that. The movie called crash. The movie told not merely the racial discrimination.
After I watched crash. I was really overwhelmed by the implication the director gave me. I can hardly say a word, just like the moment I finished the Prof Huntington's work the clash of civilization.
Both of them focus attention on the problem produced from the coming-together among different peoples. It is an irreconcilable dilemma. We can't treat the fewer group badly, cause it is a discrimination; and we can't treat them nicer, cause it is also called discrimination.
A young policeman with great justice killed a young black for he feared them deep inside, although he pitied their living situation from deep inside, too. It is no use that they both admired the same idol. Custom gives their gestures different meanings. They can 't communicate to each other from their birth.
But the hatred does not exist from the birth. Another policeman humiliated a black actress for releasing his depression got from a black nurse who refused to cure his father's pain. We hate the other people because they grab away our opportunities, and deprive of our necessities . We take for granted that it is reasonable and acceptable if it is our people gain a chance, because he works harder or smarter. If it is a different one, we affirm he is an evil. The racial discrimination offers us an access to explode our anger. The policeman, fortunately, saved the actress he hurt at first in a traffic accident. Thank god, let us average people catch a glimpse of light that shines down to us from a world lies beyond.
Just like the old Persian man was saved by an Arabian little girl. The angel, he realized later, provide him a second chance to live a peaceful life. In the new life, there will be no revenge in.
We can hardly overcome the irreconsilable difference between peoples, and probably the globalization is making things worse. Faced with the problem that deny us to solve, we have no sideways to avoid it. But there always a hope there, the human nature will save us all. At least, I believe it works, and we can make it.

Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation.

    To see the coincidence and the butterfly effect, you can watch "Crash" and "Burn after Reading". Haggis said: "I think the subject matter of my film is a problem that bothers me, and I don't think much about the audience's thoughts. But if I feel bothered, maybe others will too."

    The comparison between the two policemen is too embarrassing! Their respective life trajectories, a time, collide together, and the film is highly refined and concentrated. (Compared to several other stories, Sandra Brook's part looks thin; the stowaways who drop a truck in Chinatown are more ridiculous) City of Angels, do angels really exist?

Crash quotes

  • Fred: [On a movie set] I think we need another take.

    Cameron: That looked pretty terrific.

    Fred: This is going to sound strange but is Jamal seeing a speech coach?

    Cameron: What do you mean?

    Fred: This is weird for a white guy to say this, but have you noticed he's been talking a lot less "black" lately?

    Cameron: No, I haven't noticed that.

    Fred: Really? Like in this scene, he's supposed to say "don't be talking about that", and he changed it to "don't talk to me about that".

    Cameron: You think because of that the audience won't recognize him as a black man?

    Fred: Is there a problem?

    Cameron: Excuse me?

    Fred: Is there a problem?

    Cameron: No, we don't have a problem.

    Fred: All I'm saying it's not his character. Eddie is supposed to be the smart one, not Jamal, right? You're the expert here but to me it rings false.

  • Shaniqua: Mr. Ryan, my name is Shaniqua Johnson. I believe we spoke last night.

    Officer Ryan: Yeah, I wanted to apologize. I haven't been too much sleep and my father's in a lot of pain.

    Shaniqua: I'm sorry to hear that.

    Officer Ryan: The doctor he's seeing says he's got a urinary tract infection, but he's been taking this medicine for a month now and seems to be getting worse.

    Shaniqua: And he's been back to see Dr. Roberts?

    Officer Ryan: Between you and me, the man's an idiot.

    Shaniqua: Really?

    Officer Ryan: Well, no offense, but the doctor sees a hundred patients an hour, I think his nurses are doing most of the work.

    Shaniqua: If your father is unhappy with Dr. Roberts he's welcome to see a doctor outside the network.

    Officer Ryan: And if this new doctor says it's not an infection and says it's his prostate and needs to be operated on, is it going to be covered?

    Shaniqua: Not unless Dr. Roberts authorizes it.

    Officer Ryan: Then what good is that going to do?

    Shaniqua: I'm sorry, there's nothing else I can do.

    Officer Ryan: You know what I can't do? I can't look at you without thinking about the five or six more qualified white men that didn't get your job.

    Shaniqua: It's time for you to go.

    Officer Ryan: I'm saying this because I'm really hoping I'm wrong about you. I'm hoping someone like yourself, someone who has been given a helping hand might have a little compassion for someone else in a similar situation.
