That's truly weird. Crash. I don't think most people gave it a chance. And it doesn't sound like a movie I would like, but, along with most other people, I didn't see it.
Crash was an excellent movie. The Academy actually got it right. Ironically, for a movie about racism it was not politically charged whatsoever. Rent it...
I really enjoyed Crash. It was similar in a lot of ways to Traffic, but involved race relations instead. While a lot of the racial issues were sensationalized, it made for a very entertaining and moving film in my opinion and definitely was worthy of Best Picture.
It was good, but a little too "cute" in it's plot contrivances. It was honest about the nature of racism.
That's gotta be the biggest upset in Oscar history, bigger than "Shakespeare In Love" beating "Private Ryan". I mean, not one person in ten could tell you what the hell "Crash" even is or what it's about.
"Brokeback" was a lock!
I saw it. I hated it. I don't like movies that begin and for the better part of an hour show not one single sympathetic character.
The only other movie I've seen in the past couple of years that I've hated with as deep a passion has been "Million Dollar Baby."
Crash is an outstanding look at prejudice. I hated to see it end. I would like to see a sequel that followed these characters lives further.
