When we say crash, we usually mean a car accident. Crash, the film debut of Paul Haggis direction, speaking precisely of conflicts among human beings. These conflict are mostly because the prejudice different professions, ethnicities, religions, races, training, in big cities. Stories that intertwine as parachoques in some moments, but then disengage and each follows its course. Some mourn their dead, others say the beloved "I love you", some embraced their children, others mourn their lives.
Paul Haggis, screenwriter of success, author, among other things, the roadmap of the Golden Girl, winner of the Oscar this year, got the idea for this movie in 1991 when they stole his car in Los Angeles. The loss, the involvement with police, authorities, etc., has made him reflect on life in big cities, the power of organizations such as TV, cinema, business and especially justice, health system and police and reach the conclusion that just postures "politically correct" give rise to prejudice.
And people who have never seen before in the way victims of racist and discriminatory thinking of others. First, two young blacks who steal the car of a white couple solely because they were mistreated in a restaurant. Then, a young Mexican who exchange barbs with a Persian owner of a shop broken and stolen daily by one of these groups' anti-Arab. " A black detective and his girlfriend of Latin origin. The junkie mother, his brother thug. The couple formed by the white prosecutor vain husband and wife who loves and appear hysterical think that is unfortunate.
Who pays attention note that Haggis uses the same environments and poorly lit esfumaçados of the Golden Girl. As in the film that won the Oscar, indeed, the surprise is that the film is no longer one of those policemen out there who will spend months in any channel on TV. No. Crash is human. It's life as she is. Without trials. It Korean interacting with whites who do not distinguish Asians from Africa. It is a day that the police are horrified behavior of the partner, the other day save someone from unjust imprisonment, but the third kills by accident.
Crash is the drama of dondoca not know why it is unfortunate that rolls up the stairs and her friend rich and white can not save it to be taking massage. She then accepts the victory of Puerto employed. It is the Persian horrified by him confused with an Arab, the wife of a TV director for african-American who passes by sexual abuse and need to exonerate her husband and at the same time is saved by the same white police he intimated the day before. Crash happens in Los Angeles, but could be environmental concerns in Sao Paulo, Rio, London, a major city, where people should put up with it in the name of "brotherhood" (the movie shows the time it is time for Christmas) fight, discuss , Is close, exchanging shots, steal.
For the cast, Paul Haggis gold mining names of the general public. Don Cheadle, nominated for Oscar for Best Supporting Actor this year by Hotel Rwanda, is the black detective with the mastery of all time. Sandra Bullock is just an adjuvant. It is the promoter's wife who has the stolen car and then scroll down stairs. Brendan Fraser is the husband. Matt Dilon is the tough cop with the blacks who fight for the health plans allow the surgery patient's father. Chris Ludacris Larence Bridge and Tate are by car thieves. Shaun Toub is the Persian Farhad, who Design of the most dramatic scenes. If any of these names is indicated to the Oscar is not surprising. In addition, there is THandle Newton, the african american harassed by police, and Terrence Howard, the director of TV. Supporting cast, yes. But this story, as in everyday life, all the actors are actors. Until the Sandra Bullock, even as a mere decoy in promotional posters.
