For this analytical essay‚ I chose to write about the film Crash. I could not think of any better movie that came out after 2000 than this one. Paul Haggis directed this film and it came out in 2004.

Crash Paper My first impression of the movie "Crash" was that it was a bit overwhelming. Though I do agree that many‚ if not all of the topics are in fact true and made for the movie‚ I thought it was a bit exaggerated.
