Crash: When we are moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other...

My father brought back this movie which he got from a friend. Said it was very nice and that Oprah recommended it. Oh well let me give you a little bit about this movie for those who have not heard of it.
" A provocative, unflinching look at the complexities of racial conflict in America, CRASH is that rare cinematic event - a film that challenges audiences to question their own prejudices. Diving headlong into the diverse melting pot of the post 9/11 Los Angeles, this compelling urban drama tracks the volatile intersections of a multi-ethnic cast, examining fear and bigotry from multiple perspectives as characters careen in and out of one another's lives. Noone is safe in the battle zones of racial strife. And no one is immune to the simmering rage that sparks violence and changes lives."

A Brentwood housewife who thinks that people of other colours are useless and not dependable then finds out that the only one who is there when she needs help is her maid who is of colour. This got me thinking what really is a friend? A friend is not really a friend till he or she is there for you when you need help, support or just company. A Persian store owner who has everyone thinking that he and his family are Iraqis. How they are being mistreated and insulted. Two police detectives who are also lovers. A black television director and his wife. They were stop by a white police officer for check up just because they are black and the man was humilated to do the drunk test when he did not drink at all and he was forced to watch while the police officer molested his wife while not doing anything in fear of creating a scene. A Mexican locksmith..( oh i love this scene) about a man who works 24/7 n has a daughter who lives in fear of bullets coming through her window for they once lived in a bad neighbourhood. Her dad gave her his "magic" cloak to protect her.

The whole movie revolves around the lives of these people, and how their prejudices lead them to wrong decisions, or their racial discrimination which caused them to live in fear of other races and putting the blame on other people. Makes you think how the world has become.. It's sad to think that there ARE such things going around and IS happening still. Oh well watch the movie and then you would know how i feel right now. Feel free to include comments... WORLD PEACE!!
