Finally got around to watchin CRASH. My verdict? Loved it. Go see it. It just reinstates what our world is turning into. One hit can start a whole chain of events.

I checked out on IMDB, and I read a few posts that were made on their forums. Thought it was interesting. Some people hated it because they believed this movie told them something they already knew. S'pose they felt they were being patronised or something, that was interesting. Yes, this movie was somewhat predictable at some parts - but at other's it wasn't.

It's a movie - why do people keep expecting things to go either horribly wrong, and if a film were to have a NICE ending - they thought it was predictable/corny? If it were to ended badly, you would all have the same verdict anyway. Or that it was just too over the top.

I'm not saying this movie was an "eye opener" - we all know how racism goes, and the consequences. I s'pose CRASH just showed how bad our stereotypes of people could be, and what that can lead into. Just futher reinstates their attitudes some of us have towards racism really. I just hope that it's improved since then.

I have to admit, at times I'm racist and conform to certain stereotypes. Don't we all? But I gotta say, you could be pink, purple, yellow, black, white - whatever, it really doesn't make a fucking difference. It's a matter of culture and upbringing.

W/e, everyone watch the daym movie. Maybe I'm just inexperienced, but yea some of the plot twists I didn't expect - or more like, I didn't want them to happen...

And one of my favourite parts of the story, was the lil story the father told his daughter about the lil "impenetrable coat". "Glass Jar" anyone? *looks at ppl who did Adv. Eng*.
