I only watched "Crash" once, but my memory is still fresh, and I can't let it go for a long time. The United States has the most diverse ethnic groups, skin colors, and accents in the world's short history of more than 200 years. The fusion of cultures and values inevitably occurs. In "collision", various characters appeared in more than 110 minutes, and they were connected with each other due to some kind of accident. Everything that happened in the first half was constantly raising sharp questions for the audience to think. What is the reason? Is it because of a different accent, or because of people of color? Is this original sin? I guess the answer is uncertain. This is exactly what this film wants to express. At the same time as the contradiction is inevitable, the story moves to the climax. These people begin to go to extremes, walking on the edge of life and death (the anti-climax here is very clever, a super long paragraph The soundtrack shuttles between several events one after another, subtly linking these events together)
In fact, there are a few scenes that I think can be cut. The first scene is that the prosecutor's wife is injured, which may be too trivial compared with the previous episodes. The scene of the movie, and the subsequent empty bombs, are completely superfluous, and there is a suspicion of procrastination in the plot.
There are also two scenes that are the finishing touch of the whole film (it is estimated that this scene won the Oscar), that is, the young policeman accidentally killed the black guy and then burned the car and wiped out the traces. It snowed, how could he know that what fell on his clothes was discarded soot. In the inexplicable carnival of a few homeless people around the "bonfire", his smile was relieved. It seems that only the language of montage can do the artistic conception here!
I believe that many people who watched this film, like me, were weeping for it. This is also the meaning of this film. Different beliefs, values, positions, interests, and even perspectives on issues are due to some "accidents" Let us collide, oppose, conflict, hate each other, hurt each other, and torture each other; but because of some chance and coincidence, like an angel coming down for you to resist the injury, just like Christ washed our sins with His own precious blood, Just like dying on our behalf, save you, and save others, everyone! Only love is the fundamental solution to these contradictions, and love is the ultimate answer. If true compassion still flows in the heart of the supreme good like a spring, then he will know the true meaning of love better than anyone else!
