Crash

[kingrat]

Saw Crash yesterday with Beth & Jason. Essentially the movie is a series of vignettes about racism with an ensemble cast. The characters all touch each other's lives through some sort of coincidence. I think the use of the interconnected coincidence distracted from the movie. Think Pulp Fiction or Go. Only in a movie that is supposed to have a moral purpose rather than just tell a fun story like those other two movies. But other than that I generally liked the movie. The acting was great. In the movie, every character does something out of prejudice. And for humor, they have Chris Bridges go on a long diatribe about mumbling black rappers being tools of the white man.

Oh... you mean the new Crash.

I was trying to figure out why a) you had so little so say on it and b) you didn't mention car crashes at all. The black rapper thing was like 'hruh'? until I remembered that there was a NEW movie also called Crash, that is completely differant. Right. Moving on...
