I finally finished watching {Crash} today - this film that most Chinese hated in 2005 was simply because the 78th Best Oscar was not awarded to Chinese director Ang Lee's {Brokeback Mountain}, and Granted it to {Crash}. In fact, the styles of the two films are different. {Crash} is closer to humanistic concern and racial discrimination, while {Brokeback Mountain} is a fuss about homesexuality and the social incomprehension of it.
I've seen both films, and I've watched both twice. The first time I saw Brokeback Mountain, I didn't feel anything, I was just inspired by the beautiful scenery in the movie. When I watched it again, I finally understood the true meaning of the interpretation in the film: it was the social intolerance and incomprehension of homesexual that caused Jake to lose his life. This is the real purpose of director Ang Lee.
Speaking of {Crash}, throughout the entire movie, it can be seen that its focus is on racial discrimination and hatred, and the characters and plots in the movie are closely linked by a line.
Many details in the film give us a profound insight into the conclusion the film explores: the most ironic is that a police officer who has always been racist in the film stepped forward at the most critical moment and pulled a black woman from death. Another police officer, who has never been racist, shot a black guy to death in a misunderstanding.
At the end of the movie, two cars collided again, and there may be many people who changed their lives because of this crash,
but this is precisely life, and life continues in this interesting collision...
When the camera moves away from the crash and shoots to the sky, the picture shows the scene of white snow floating in the sky. I think it must be a metaphor for something, maybe hope, maybe purity, anyway, it symbolizes that our society will no longer have racism and hatred.
The sky in Beijing is also snowing...
