CRASH Assignment
The movie entitled “Crash” has many heartbreaking and extraordinary scenes that stood out to me, some more than others. But the scene that is the most memorable to me is the scene in which the African American detective was at a crime scene and realized that the victim of the crime scene was his very own little brother. The detective was too caught up in his own life and his own problems that he ceased to realize the danger his little brother was in. His mother begged him before to go find his brother but he never took the time to do it. He often went against his mother’s word and put her wishes aside. Since he is a detective, he had the power to find his brother in a heartbeat but he chose not to. After an attempt to rob a man’s car, his brother tried to get away from the city by hitch hiking a ride with an off duty cop. However, he fell victim from a misunderstanding, was shot, and tossed over to the side of the road. When the detective was called to the crime scene, he looked up and saw the face of his own brother.
The scene of the discovery of the detective’s brother had an emotional impact on me. It made me realize that everything happens for a reason and there are consequences to thinking about yourself and yourself only. If the detective simply took the time to just find his brother as his mom wished, instead of being selfish, the death of his brother could’ve been avoided at all costs. This scene validates that when the opportunity is present, you should take it because unwanted plans may occur. The death of his brother not only caused a loss in his life, but it also made him realize that it was his fault and he could’ve prevented it by doing the right thing in the first place. This scene teaches me to appreciate people and spend as much positive time with others because you’ll never know when they will be gone. Crash is a film that reveals the social and racial
