A Movie Review: Crash

“Moving at the speed of light, we are bound to collide with each other.”

“You think you know who you are. You have no idea.”

“In any real city, you walk, you brush past people, and 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.”

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Phillippe, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser

Los Angeles…Two cars crash…A body is found on the side of the road…

Prince Paolo: Who’s connected to the brutal murder? Cut to 24 hours earlier as we weave into the lives of 8 people as they connect with each other in a hot bed of racial tensions, a journey that eventually collides head on with the cop who’s investigating the murder.

I think what’s good with this film is that many people can relate with the lives that the characters lead. Its plot ain't just like any ordinary plot that we saw in other films. It is hard to create the exact connections with each character so bravo to Paul Haggis. Some stories focuses about conflicts, racism, and misunderstandings that will connect them to tremendous tragedies. Dito ko natutunan na ang isang simpleng pagkakamali o hindi pagkakaunawaan ay nagdudulot ng malaking epekto sa bawat isa. Kung gayon hangga't mayroong taong nagkakasala at mga taong hindi nagkakaintindihan, hindi matitigil ang gulo sa mundo. This movie serves as an eye-opener to all people and a great example of F.M. Voltaire’s quotation “Prejudice is the reasoning of the stupid”, “Prejudice is an opinion without

judgement

Maybe it’s hard to please everyone and it’s hard to accept everyone’s imperfections but isn’t very fulfilling to end the day without stepping on anyone? The soundtrack of the film is the another ingredient that makes the film a tear jerking one.

I highly recommended this film to all movie fans out there. After watching this film, you will learn values and of God’s magical touch. This film has a lot of values to learn and to think na minsan, kung ano pa ang movie na walang katuturan ay iyon pa ang ating pinapanood. According to a famous movie critic, “This film is dynamite and the acting is a knockout" and I totally agree with him. The emotions of the actors are really effective that I was taken aback and was totally awed by the film. Crash! Hands down!
