    Crash (2004) Movie Review

    By: Tyler Whiteside


    I just watched Crash for the first time and have decided that it is worth a review, Crash is
    a story that follows the lives of several main characters whose lives all end up intertwined in
    some way or another by the end of the movie. The movie is based in modern day Los Angeles
    and shows the vastly different lives of two street thugs (Ludacris, Larenz Tate), a District
    Attorney and his wife (Brendan Fraser, Sandra Bullock), a Persian variety store owner (Howard
    Fong), a detective (Don Cheadle), police officers (Matt Dillon, Ryan Phillipe), a Hispanic lock-
    smith and single father (Michael Pena), and more. The characters in the movie are often subject
    to each other's prejudice and racism and this leads to a very strong moral of the story. On the
    subject of actors I don't have any bad things to say about the acting in this movie, all the actors
    played their parts very convincingly, especially Michael Pena and Howard Fong who get into a
    very emotional conflict toward the end of the film which really shows the depth in their
    characters. This is actually a scene that I enjoyed in the film because the argument is such an
    intense moment and tension is constantly building, to a point where someone is almost shot and
    killed, then all the tension is alleviated from a very intense moment so the audience can relax and
    breathe again, tension and release is paramount to good films. One of the biggest lessons to be
    learned from the movie is to not judge people by their race and put your prejudices behind you,
    and I think this moral will be shared by anyone who watches this movie. Crash can be compared
    to the novel A Lesson Before Dying in more than one way, first and mainly, the movie and novel
    both focus around the issue of racism in society. Also the main characters in A Lesson Before
    Dying are black and 2 of the main characters in the movie are black, from this perspective they
    both focus on discrimination against blacks, and as well as other cultures. Another comparison to
    be made between the novel and movie is that an innocent main character who is black is killed,
    Jefferson in the novel and Peter Waters in the film, both men are killed by white men who
    merely suspect them of doing something illegal with no actual grounds for killing them. Crash is
    a rated R movie, but I think the demographic that would like it the most and would take the most
    away from it would be anyone the age of 16 and above who can recognize the moral of the
    movie and understand the message, the message being we should all look past racism and our
    own prejudices and treat everyone the same, with respect and dignity. I would not recommend
    the movie however to young children because of the amount of profanities used, violence, and
    sexual behaviour in it. Overall I really liked the movie, it is intriguing, exciting, well scripted,
    and the acting was excellent. It sends a great message to the audience and really inspires you to
    change the way you act towards others, I would give it an 8.5/10 rating.
