A day before I watched the movie‚ I looked up on the internet to find out who were the main protagonists of the movie and was surprised to find out that one of my all time favourite actresses‚ Sandra Bullock who plays the role as a district attorney’s wife‚ was one of the many actors in the movie. ‘Crash’‚ which was filmed in L.A‚ revolved around

Crash tells the story of people from dissimilar lives as they intersect with one another. Each character in the movie is in some way personally affected‚ transformed‚ damaged‚ or mistreated by racism. They’re also all in some way guilty of racism themselves.

What did I learn from the movie “Crash?” A lot. One lesson I learned is not to judge a book by its cover. For example‚ in the movie‚ Sandra Bullock’s character was afraid of and distrustful of her Latino locksmith because he was bald and had tattoos.

In reality‚ the locksmith was a peaceful‚ loving‚ kind‚ and gentle father and husband. I probably would be a little afraid of
