Crash- Moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide into each other.

It's the sense of touch.
I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel somthing.

I've just finished watching 'Crash'.

It was one of the most controversial wins at the 2006 Oscars ( Not sure about the year)

I can now see why. This is such a powerful film, dealing with racism and how people from all different kinds of background and races, religions, cultures interconnected. Because despite all our differences, we are still what we are, people. Just people who are the same on the inside, who influence people and are influenced by others. Every action is linked to another, just like every person is connected to another.

A Negro, upper-class couple, driving a big car, living in a classy house. They get stopped by a racist policeman, who acts lewdly towards the wife just because she's black.

A racist policeman with a sick father and a new partner who wants to switch partners after seeing how his partner treated a black couple.

A high profile, upper class, suburban white couple gets carjacked by 2 negro gangsters. Wife becomes paranoid and wants to change locks as soon as her Mexican locksmith leaves because she doesnt trust Mexicans.

2 Negro gangsters, carjacking for a living. They only carjack white people, but one day, by accident, end up carjacking a black man. The same black man whose wife was just molested by a racist policeman the night before.

A Mexican locksmith goes home after a long day at work. He has just heard one of his clients talk about him like he is nothing more than a gangbanger, just because he is Mexican. He goes home to his daughter, but soon is called out again to work.

A Persian man, constantly mistaken for being Iraqi, buys a gun with his daughter. The lock on the door of his store is broken, he has called for a locksmith to fix it. A mexican guy comes around to fix it. But tells the Persian storekeeper that the problem is with the door, not the lock, and that he cant fix it. The Persian storekeeper is angry, accusing the Mexican locksmith of cheating him. The locksmith gets angry, throws the bill and receipt into the bin and walks out.

An Asian man is hit and dragged by a car driven by 2 negroes who has just carjacked it.

There is an accident, a woman is caught in the car which is about to explode. A policeman is on the job, he rushes in to save her, and then realizes that he knows this woman. Has only just met her the night before.

I can't even begin to explain the complexities and twist and turns of this movie. There are just too many and I am simply amazed at how the screenwriters managed to weave so many different lives and stories into one big one and somehow still manage to make it all connect.

Its a special movie, intriguing and leaves a mark on anyone who watches it. Reminds us all that we are all the same.

Watch it. And let me know what you think. :)
