Ultimate pleasure

Car accidents bring death, sex brings pleasure, and the fast feeling of death should be the ultimate pleasure. The breath of death permeated the extreme tension of the car accident. Continuous and endless desire flows in life like blood, and the most direct way to express it is sex. Sex that has surpassed everything, pure sex, what could be closer to the essence than it?
Impact, rupture, and incompleteness cause sharp pain, and death is the ultimate pleasure. Behind crazy sex is the friction between life and death. Automobiles and machines represent human desires, and collisions with each other are the abyss of desires. Western society emphasizes individualism, and the essence of human nature is a beast composed of desires. This film is an exploration of human nature, and it is a flogging of the soul.
Crash has another meaning, called destruction.

    The film is so cold that it makes me feel uncomfortable. The pictures, dialogue and music constantly emphasize the suppressed and cold emotions. The primitive desires of human beings have been accumulated for a long time in the industrialized society and do not know how to vent, so they can only be released through various deformed ways. I can understand the idea of ​​what the film is trying to convey, but despite my efforts, I still can't get into the film and empathize with the characters. . .
