"Crash" is a movie that can change people's worldview.

I forgot when I watched it for the first time, I didn't make much impression.
When I was younger, there was an element of vanity in watching movies and reading books.
Because of this vanity, I missed a lot of good movies that I "seen" but didn't understand, such as Crash.

It gives the viewer a perspective overlooking all beings.

Each character is in an inextricable chain of cause and effect.
Meet at different nodes, collide, and then cause and effect each other.

There are no good people and no bad people.
There is only one person who does a good thing or a bad thing in a certain situation.

Although this sentence seems like a very simple chicken soup for the soul, it is indeed the biggest impact of this film on me.

Choose to do good or bad.
Based on his character, educational background, interests, and the elusive human nature of evil and good.

Simple good and bad values ​​are a lazy shortcut for adults to teach children to understand the laws of the world as soon as possible.
But when you grow up, you shouldn't be so ignorant.

The world is very complicated, and the complexity is in the endless chain of cause and effect. Between strangers, it is possible that you have me and I have you. Crash.
God's role, perhaps, is only a hand that pushes thoughts in choosing between good and evil in a given situation.

Watching such films can be used to self-police, to be wary of preconceived judgments and simplistic laziness labels.
Every individual is poor.
Being swayed in an involuntary chain of cause and effect, one percent of freedom is in control.

So, when we meet, we have to be kind to each other.
Try not to set up obstacles for others in your own part.

Crash quotes

  • Officer Hanson: I don't want to cause any problems lieutenant, I just want a new partner.

    Lt. Dixon: I understand, your partner is a racist prick, but you don't want to disturb any bad feelings for him.

    Officer Hanson: Well, he's been on the force for a long time.

    Lt. Dixon: Seventeen years.

    Officer Hanson: And I do have to work here, Sir.

    Lt. Dixon: So, you don't mind if there's a racist prick on the force, you just don't want him riding in your car?

    Officer Hanson: If you need me to go on record about this, I will.

    Lt. Dixon: That'd be great, write a full report. But I'm anxious to understand how an obvious bigot can go undetected for seventeen years, eleven of which he was under my personal supervision, which doesn't speak too highly of my managerial skills, but that's not your concern. I can't wait to read it.

    Officer Hanson: What if i said I wanted a new partner for personal reasons?

    Lt. Dixon: So now you're saying he's not a racist prick, you just don't like him?

    Officer Hanson: Yes, Sir.

    Lt. Dixon: That's not a good enough reason.

    Officer Hanson: Then I should think of a better one and get back to you.

    Lt. Dixon: So, you think I'm asking you to make one up?

    Officer Hanson: No, Sir. I just can't think of one right now.

    Lt. Dixon: You want to know what I heard? I heard it was a case of uncontrollable flatulence.

    Officer Hanson: You want me to say he has flatulence?

    Lt. Dixon: Not him, you. You have uncontrollable flatulence and your too embarrassed to ride with anyone else. That's why your requesting a one man car.

    Officer Hanson: I'm not comfortable with that, lieutenant.

    Lt. Dixon: I wouldn't be either, which is why I understand your need for privacy, just like I'm sure you understand how hard a black man must work to get to stay where I am in a racist organization like the LAPD, and how easily that can be taken away. That being said, it's your decision. You can put your career and mine on the line in pursuit of a just cause, or just admit to have an embarrassing problem of the personal nature.
