It was good but I felt the racism issue was being forced down my throat. They could have been a little more subtle about it.

The billionth "I just watched the move "Crash" and loved it" thread. I'm pretty sure I made one too though, great movie.

They should have given it a name that differentiates it from a certain horrendously bad film starring James Spader.

not sure of her name but it was the same chick from MI2. she's pretty hot although she's a little bit TOO small for my likings.

I'd like to add that this thread made me go rent the movie, and it was... meh. I really liked some parts, but in the end it's just another "racism is bad and everyone is different" movie. It's bad to judge people you don't know? Really? FVCKING AMAZING!

Not that it was a bad movie, I just feel like I've heard the story 1 million times before.

I'm still amazed at all the buzz this movie's had...it's not a bad movie by any means, but anybody that watches movies outside of the mainstream would expect more than such a simple premise. The acting was great and the storyline, what there was of one, was well done, but it wasn't "exceptional".

note: I'm a movie snob. ;)

I thought he was talking about the 'Crash' where people got off getting into car accidents.

The movie played on everyone's sympathetic feelings, and probably more catered toward people who hasn't really experienced much racism, or don't know much about it, than someone who sees it everyday. Granted it has some cool bits and pieces, especially how everything fell together at the end. But for a film about racism, it was basically a hollywood styled movie that made something that's out of the ordinary a little too dramatic. Things like that happens all the time, and probably to a greater degree than the movie portrays, and the movie was made to have more of a shocking value than to realisticly describe the situation.

i was going to compliment Harriet's suggestion, but there was a "naughty" word in the post and I don't want to bother figuring out which one it was.
