In such a city, how can we relieve our loneliness?
In a city like this, it all goes on...as before
. "In any city, you walk. You pass someone, someone bumps into you. In Los Angeles, no one touches you. We Always hiding behind metal and glass. We experience that long-lost feeling of being touched by bumping into each other." The
Oscar "Best Picture" "Crash" once attracted criticism, just like the social reality it reflected, Everyone always looks at others with prejudice. People put "movies on racial issues", "films in Los Angeles", "movies on social issues", or "best picture" before it, just as people put "gay movies" before "Brokeback Mountain" Such a title is the same, whether it is a front or a side, in short, we have hastily defined them before we understand them.
It's hard to say "Crash" in one sentence. Its performance is too close to life itself, a group play, and there are many clues, but one thing is for sure, it is by no means a matter of reflecting the "race issue", even , it is not at all.
A righteous, racially unbiased young cop shot a black man who had no ill will towards him just to let him know that they both like to keep the same trinket in the car, instead, the night before, with him A patrolman who worked with him, after molesting a black woman, desperately saved her the next day.
The story of these two people is desperate. David Fincher has this line in "Fight Club": "What I do doesn't mean who I am."
What's even more desperate is that a chattering black angry youth is trying to grab another black man's car, and they are at each other's throats, and it seems that some prejudice from white people is not prejudice. But another locksmith lives in prejudice, but still has a heart of gold. But I was not pleased with his heart of gold, thinking that I had found some kind of solace in this cold city, and he brought me an even more unforgettable sense of loss. We have lost a standard. What we face is not a racial issue, but the increasingly critical eyes and narrower minds of all human beings.
The most terrifying story in the whole film is also the most tender one:
in order to dispel his daughter's fear of guns and bullets, the man who repaired the lock told his daughter that when he was 5 years old, a fairy gave him a An invisible cloak, put on this invulnerable cloak, he no longer has to worry about any bullets, he gave this "cloak" to his daughter. Later, the man who repaired the lock offended a Persian who came to trouble with a gun. His daughter saw this scene in the house and remembered that her father's cloak had been given to herself, and ran out to protect her father, Persian The man happened to pull the trigger at this moment. Everyone was terrified, but a miracle happened and the little girl was unscathed. In fact, the audience has already guessed that the Persian pistol must be empty, but what if it is not?
"She's my angel," the old man who shot said to his daughter afterwards. In fact, many killings are just because of the impetuousness of human beings, and no one of them is willing to believe it, and no one is willing to listen to what they say. As an audience, we can see the living conditions of everyone in this film, but the people in the film are often close to each other, and God looks at the one-sided friendship of us people like this. I wonder if he is also disappointed. ?
The so-called fraternity is so pale in the face of coincidence and human arrogance that it cannot save anything. Likewise, how terrible it is that pure lives can sometimes be saved only by coincidence. That's why when some people say that people are willing to believe such an "angel" story, I don't want to believe it. What I want to believe is that the old man didn't shoot at all.
In fact, the "race problem" is "the problem of our unwillingness to understand the other race". Before we could hear what the others were saying, we had our guns drawn, "Bang!"
