Anthony was very proud to be an African American and it showed throughout the movie. You also got to see a softer side of him towards the end when he discovered the van full of foreign women and children. Instead of selling them like they were brought over to the country for‚ he decided to let them go free. This showed a very caring and sensitive side of Anthony that we didn’t get to see in the beginning of the movie. Identify a scene in the film that offered a good example of perception and

Multiculturalism in Crash Crash is highly ambiguous in the depiction of multiculturalism in American society. Almost all the ethnicities depicted in Crash question the perception others have their particular group‚ but at the same time affirm the different stereotypes surrounding their ethnic group.

Crash ‚ a 2005 film by director Paul Haggis‚ begins by saying‚ "It’s the sense of touch . . .we miss . . . so much that we crash into each other just so we can feel something". The use of the word "touch" suggests human connection. "Feel" conjures a sense of emotion. We want to be moved by one another; to feel our common human existence. Our search for this sort of human connection persists despite many peripheral issues which divide us‚ but it is the search itself‚ not the issues‚ which provides

A scene will switch to another only because the initial characters story line is intersecting with that of the

Metaphors You can never fully get away from using metaphors in your life. We use them everyday without knowing it‚ which is why I agree with Robert Frost. The use of metaphors is so common when we speak or write‚ we sometimes don’t even notice and that’s the beauty of it. It’s so easy to use and it can make a conversation or writing much more exciting. When Robert Frost says : You don’t know how much
