Humans are very fragile creatures, not only physically, but especially psychologically. There are more than 6 billion people in the world. People keep in touch, communicate and communicate with each other, so they keep crashing. All of this constitutes this real society.
Why do people have conflict - disagreements. Among the 6 billion people, there are various divisions: men and women, old, middle-aged, young, races, ethnic groups, regions, cities, villages, communities, groups, everyone... Huge human beings, complicated divisions, All kinds of differences, big and small, that is, these kinds of differences, have caused big and small conflicts, ranging from wars to quarrels between two people.
The "advantage" of the United States is that it gathers all kinds of distinctions and contradictions on one piece of land and sees how these people integrate, conflict and live. The inclusiveness of this country is really strong enough, and people from every corner of the world come here with the "American Dream". Some people come here to prepare for grand plans, with rich resources and wealth; some people come here just to live a good life.
But when I got here, I found that there are many people with the same purpose, speaking English with accents from all over the world, plunged into this chaotic and completely unfamiliar society, with completely different rules from their own homeland, there are police everywhere, and guns are everywhere. , the siren blaring from time to time on the street makes it difficult to calm down. This country is very law-abiding, but its laws are also somewhat unreasonable, and sometimes people can be cornered.
In "Crash", the stories chosen by screenwriter and director Paul Haggis are all everyday events in the United States, and they are inconspicuous.
Although the young black man was doing illegal activities, he was still very resentful of the defensive vision cast by white women, and felt insulted and stimulated.
A white judge advocates racial equality in order to run for election, but there are always conflicts between whites and blacks around him, and he is also robbed by blacks, which makes him very entangled.
His white wife was robbed by black youths and humiliated the black policewomen, Indian servants (looks like Indians), and Mexican-American locksmiths at home.
The white cop shot the black cop, and the black detective brought his Puerto Rican female partner to investigate.
The black TV director took his wife and was insulted by the white police; another young white police couldn't bear it, and later helped the black director, but he accidentally killed a black youth.
A racially discriminatory white policeman rescued a black woman he insulted in a car accident...
In these trivial and inconspicuous conflicts, there is still a magical story, which can be called a magic stroke - the invisibility of a little girl cloak! At that moment, almost all of us, like the cute little girl, believed that it was really the fairy who protected her and his father. The once-desperate Iranian grocery store owner finally made the little Mexican girl his angel.
In these intertwined clues, each character and each story can allow the audience to find their own shadow, and the psychology of any character has been fairly expressed. There is no protagonist or supporting role, and the protagonist should be the audience's own heart. .
Everyone has an "evil" side in their hearts, but "evil" is actually frailty, inferiority complex, fear, anxiety, grievance, insult, and desperation. Only when the heart is strong is the real strength. It coexists with goodness, because it can accommodate everything, forgive everything, and look at the world with a peaceful eye. The black choreographer is a Buddhist, perhaps because of this, in front of the burning car, he resolved the previous conflict with a smile, and no longer struggled in his heart. Only with a strong heart can you be truly strong, and only with a strong heart can you be "good".
