Humanity Clash for Crying and Applauding

There are a lot of characters in "Crash", white people, black people, yellow people, brown people~~ Only in the United States can you see so many people gather together and survive. Allow me to describe their lives in terms of surviving. I suddenly remembered a sentence in "Peking Man in New York": If you love someone, take him to America, because there is paradise. You hate a man and take him to America because it's hell. The people who live here are colliding with the people around them every day. Not just the people you love, but the people you hate. Maybe one second you're walking down the street, the next, a cold pistol is pointed at your head and your car is stolen. Maybe you were searched by the police for no reason, just because you were black. Maybe after 9/11, all brown people don't live in America. Maybe a bunch of Asians have just been trafficked into this hellish paradise. Maybe a black man killed a Chinese, maybe a white man killed a black man and he was a cop. Maybe an old Persian man shot a little girl~~ so confusing! I was almost terrified, for fear that these impulsive people would raise their pistols without saying a word. They are generally kind, but because of race, discrimination, and different fates, they sometimes become devils.

The humiliation of the black couple who was searched by the police for no reason almost brought them to the brink of desperation. But the policeman who insulted them saved their lives separately. The young policeman with a sense of justice finally killed the black youth impulsively. The young man was actually the younger brother of a well-known local police detective. His mother accused him of being the murderer, because he always perfunctory mother, not to find his relatives. Reputable white couple, who was robbed of their car by a black man, did not dare to speak out. The wife blames the husband and doesn't trust anyone but white people. But when he was injured, he couldn't call a white friend. Fierce and hateful policeman, his father was ill, but he couldn't apply for insurance, and he could only watch his father suffer every day. People living on the lowest levels, fathers comforting daughters, have magical cloaks, and will not be shot by bullets again. The impulsive old Persian man had all his belongings stolen, but he could not get a cent in compensation. In order to vent his anger, he sought revenge for the petty craftsman who had persuaded him to repair the door. But accidentally shot the little carpenter's daughter. A black youth who made a living from robbery ended up saving a group of Asians. . . Each character is contradictory, a veritable collision of human nature.

At the end of the film, everything is unexpectedly calm. Everyone who seemed ugly at the beginning has returned. Accompanied by a quiet piece of music, the trivial craftsman's wife and daughter fell asleep peacefully. The trivial craftsman stood in front of the window, looking at the falling snow. Also in the snow, the insulted black husband got out of the car, picked up the phone from his wife and said, I love you. The sturdy policeman hugged his old father and cried in the toilet. The black police detective stood at the accident site of his younger brother and picked up an angel pendant symbolizing peace. The rich white lady hugged the black housekeeper she didn't trust and said, 'My best friend turns out to be you. The old Persian man sitting in the corner repenting, his daughter put away the gun for him, and the bullet box with the empty bullet written on it. . .

I cried when I saw this, I may not know why I cried, maybe I have more tears. Maybe you can see for yourself. But near the end of the film, the director turned it upside down~~ After the black youth sent the trafficked Asians to Chinatown and stuffed them with dollars, there was a car crash on the street corner. The fat black woman got out of the car and scolded, and the Asian man behind did not show weakness. Soon a bunch of people gathered on the street corner~~ The film starts from the collision and scolding, and ends there. The front and back echoes are well done. I can't help but give this "Crash/Crash" 38 seconds of applause~~

    The coincidences and frictions of people of different races in one day have changed their outlook on life and value. . Good story, good actors, good pictures, good music. . In short: very shocking.

    It's too good-looking, nervous, warm and exciting

Crash quotes

  • [first lines]

    Graham: It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

  • Shereen: They think we're Arab. When did Persian become Arab?
