CRASH

Not a big movie freak, but sometimes i do watch movies..and one of the movie that fascinated me recently was Crash, Crash had won the best motion picture in the Oscar this year and i think this is a well deserved award..although i haven’t watch the other nominees. I watched Capote for half an hour before i decided to stop because i can’t stand the voice of this Capote character.. and i refuse to watch Brokeback Mountain because i don’t like the idea of some gay cowboys kissing each other. Shalow reasons maybe but like i said before.. i watch movies occasionally so it really depends on my mood.

For me the interesting part of Crash is that how the condition and point of view of a society can consume you and determine your character, a character full with assumption and prejudice.. in Crash, there’s a mixture of so many people with different race, culture, and habits, the bigger the differences then the bigger conflict potency among these people…throughout the movie we see a lot of confrontation triggered by this differences, differences that created disbelief, and the tag line is when a young white cop gave a lift to a young black
criminal, the cop didn’t know about this and the thief was taking a day of.. so they started talking to each other but they didn’t able to connect because the misconceptions between them and this lead to a tension that ended with the cop gunned down the black thief.
My favourite characters is a Latinos locksmith with his cute little girl and a lovely wife
and my favourite moment is when this cute little girl trying to protect her daddy from his angry Persian consumer who’s trying to shoot him.
