The movie crash is a combination of many different things including labeling theory. Crash is not just a movie about car crashes‚ but also of cultures and values.

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.
