Case and point of the movie.

I'm not getting at you Praise The X I, by any means, but it's the point of stereotyping and whatnot that this movie was all about. I thought it was agreat movie. I was

when I first saw it, especially at the scene with theinvisible cloak "saving" the girl from getting shot.

It's not a bad film, a good watch in fact; but superb? superb? don't talk to me about playoffs. superb?

That does not make sense.


Anyways... Crash is easily an above average movie... its not the best ever made but it'd be one that would come to my mind if someone asked for a recommendation.

Who are you to tell someone they cant call a movie superb anyway? Superb doesnt mean its the GOAT film...

Let people and their opinions live, Crash is an excellent movie

Exactly. Imma ride him.

The movie winning best picture was actually a bad thing for its overall reputation. In my opinion, Brokeback Mountain should have won. But, I love Crash.Really good film even with the blatant commentary on prejudices and stereotyping. That scene with the man and the little girl is a definite heart-stoppingmoment. Powerful film.

you cheat me! great movie but ludacris's character seemed to be contradictory since he preaches one thing but then goes against what he says.

Another of those movies that make you start to look at an actor differently even though they weren't the one's who wrote the racist lines.

Like the dad in Boy Meets World is the racist dad in American History X

Not on that level in Crash but it gives a whole new meaning to giving someone the Tony Danza.
Or asking Who's the Boss?
