I got my hands on the “Crash” movie and watched it (un, I had not seen it before). When I watch movies at home and they are way over an hour of lenght, I usually split them into a few seanses. Well, I didn’t have to do that for this one.

The movie doesn’t really have one story line, it’s just full of characters some of which are unrelated to each other (except that perhaps they all live in L.A.) and it tells their stories. The movie itself focuses on racism.  And yeah, it’s pretty cool. The stories told are all interesting, they make you think everything over and it’s unique in a way. After each character’s line it makes you judge him and then rejudge him, shift your opinion on the characters, etc.

Withal, many of the stories are a bit implausible and the characters meet too strangely (like, there are perhaps too many coincidences). Also, the film uses some clichés, it’s predictable in some ways. But the overall enjoyment that the movie gives is very high, in the very least in my case, so, as long as it goes, who cares about the flaws. I would give it a 9 out of 10. I wonder how I had managed to miss this one earlier.
And by the way, yeah, it won an Academy Award in 2005.
