    Crash Essay The movie Crash conveys the message that conflicts between races is due to a lack of understanding and communication.

She assumed he was in a gang and would sell copies of her keys to his gang friends so they could come back and rob her. In reality‚ the locksmith was a peaceful‚ loving‚ kind‚ and gentle father and husband. I probably would be a little afraid of
