Crash (DVD)

It is truly amazing how I missed a film with so much grit and intelligence, and I’m just happy to have finally picked it up.

Crash is everything you want in a film. Its gritty, provocative, and controversial and hits all your senses like a roaring semi truck. Fear, hatred, prejudice, anger, love, guilt, and every other emotion felt by humanity is seemlessly touched in this film.

Crash carries more weight than most other film’s I’ve watched. The message behind the movie is so incredibly powerful that it cannot be ignored. The ignorance and bigotry of today’s society insinuates itself into our daily lives without any of us really knowing it. Sometimes it takes a controversial film such as this, to open up the eyes of everyone who seems oblivious to their surroundings and its effects on its people.

As for the film itself, you really couldn’t ask for a better cast. I really can’t pinpoint anyone in particular who did not do justice to this film. Everyone from Matt Dillon to Sandra Bullock did an excellent job portraying their character.

This movie is a must see for everyone. It truly touches the reality which is today’s society.
