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. The movie touched on so many different types of racial‚ class‚ and gender stereotypes and all seemed to have been related in the end. For example‚ the very first scene was of a car accident in which an Asian woman kept trying to say the word brake and the female detective mocked

Almost every one of the characters in Crash plays a role of prejudice‚ ignorance or racial profiling. I can make this judgment based on various scenes from the movie.

Crash is a film unlike most other films. It takes a group of people‚ less than 15 main characters‚ and actually presents a somewhat realistic representation of race relationships. The movie Crash is chock full of sociological concepts‚ examining issues of race‚ social class‚ and gender‚ as well as many others.

The film “crash” is an ensemble drama film that’s a collision of self-concepts‚ of prejudices. It’s about racial and social tensions. Makes us view ourselves in a different aspect‚ breaks down our self-illusions‚ and lays our deceptions and our tenderness bare. It’s a film of justice‚ and not the usual kind of litigious righteousness that’s usually demanded. Rather‚ it’s the justice of the second chance‚ and of undeserved mercy. Crash is backed with excellent cinematography‚ and original soundtrack

During the movie Crash‚ I was bewildered by the racism in the movie. I kept thinking about all the offensive language and racial slurs the characters were using to offend the other characters. There were a couple people that stood out in my mind. These people were really the only honorable people in the movie in my opinion. So‚ if we are stranded on an island and I got to choose three of the characters with me there would definitely be some guidelines to follow. You would have to have good morals

Professor Ramos INTL 2000 28 February 2015 Have you ever wondered if Hollywood could ever produce an Oscar winning movie that is extremely racially insensitive from not only implying the racial tensions‚ but also scripting the most racial slurs I’ve ever heard in one movie?
