I justed finished watching the movie on IFC.

It is definately going on my list of Top Movies that Everyone Should See At Least Once In Their Life.

I enjoyed the turnaround at the end when the healthcare lady's car get's rear ended, and the music for the scenes always fit perfectly,
and it was absolute genuis the way the stories ended up overlapping.

5 out of 5 stars.

Yes, I know this movie is a few years old as well. Sue me.

Sorry GES, I really hated that movie. The moralising and speechifying felt really artificial to me, really contrived. The performances was good but to me it was like Monster's Ball, it was a manipulative film that relied on theatrics because there was no real heart behind it.

If you don't negative posts coming in to the thread tell me and I'll delete this, but damn I hated that movie.

Naw it's perfectly alright not to like a movie.

I actaully found alot of the movies prtrayal of race relations to be laughable tbh, but I still enjoyed the movie for the most part.

I honestly did laugh so amny tiems in that film.

Sandra Bulluck falling down was the best: !

We has a winner. Pretty much agree with everything here, except Monsters Ball, which while manipulative as well, had at least two redeeming values.

ZING!!!

So, WHICH particular CRASH movie are you talking about?

There's the Cronenberg one about car-crash fetishism and another one that was made a few years ago.

I've seen the first, and not the second. Probably the 2nd then, eh?

Yes, the 2nd one.

I was starting to wonder myself to be honest.

So its not the spader/arquette wound gerotting fetishepic and its the second one I assume with Thandie Newton?

I havent seen it but isnt it supposed to be a redemptopic I.e copper goes oh noes im not racist anymore.....

Cronenberg is perfect. I love him so much! This thread has nothing to do with him though so I'm going away :p
