The Illegal Immigrant Edition of "Crash"

Time: 21:00, April 8, 2009
Venue: AMC Forum22 Theater
Time: Crossing Over in the third week of the drawing

This film will easily remind people of the 2006 Oscar-winning film "Crash" - a stellar drama, multi-threaded narrative , two or more storylines always collide at the climax of dramatic conflict. Of course, that play's subject line was "racism," and this time it was "illegal immigration." But not to mention that this film is an imitation of the not-so-beautiful structure of "Crash", but in terms of the credibility of its story itself, it is a huge question mark. Secondly, Faber, Ray Liotta and other good actors have the roles of face-masking. Perhaps we can understand the motivation of Sean Penn's initiative to delete all his footage. Finally, the film's problems are reflected in too much patchwork and too superficial attacks on immigration policy and bureaucracy. Like the camera in the film, the director overlooks the city from the sky again and again, and then projects his eyes to the daily life of all living beings.

    There have been movies like Crash, Fast Food Empire, and Babel. And crossing the border mainly turns the perspective to illegal immigrants in the United States. Each character experiences different challenges. In my opinion no one deserves sympathy or blame. The problem is the immigration system in the US, and I don't like the nudity in it. It's totally unnecessary,,

    In fact, the more I watch this movie, the more I feel that other countries are bastards. People you can’t fight will smuggle into the United States and be bullied. Americans even make movies to express their sympathy. how. It’s as if someone said that American liberal democracy is hypocritical and has many shortcomings. The logic of this bastard is that although they are better than us, they are not perfect, so there is no need to envy and learn.

    Max Brogan: What do you want me to do?

    San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Look, it's not my problem.

    Max Brogan: All I'm asking, Stevens, is did the old man get seen to? He was sweating and shaking when I put him on the bus. He said his arm felt numb.

    San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Jesus Christ, Brogan, everything is a humanitarian crisis with you. You've signed off on more orders of recognizance than the rest of your unit combined.

    Max Brogan: Don't give me that shit. The man's about to have a goddamn heart attack. I want him seen to.

  • Max Brogan: I've never been invited to a shunning before. What is this? Something you guys brought over with you?

    Zahra Baraheri: I didn't bring it, I was born here. I'm the only one in this family who's an actual American.
