Crash (2005)

(4/5)

'Moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other'

A very intense movie... must see, I must say!

It is a about a bunch of people, with a bunch of problems. The movie is around the city of LA, about the lives of some people, who keep coming in and out of each others. It has all the races, and their views on racism. Tells how diversified the free country is, and still how narrow-minded most people are! It touches upon all relationships, from colleague to friends to father to mother and not but the least spouse! Very realistic, very involving and no wonder it won the best picture at the Oscars. As they say, it is a roller coaster of emotions! Not too much of an entertainer, but trust me you will enjoy it! And watch yourself, you could get easily stereotyped with the characters in the first half, until they unwind themselves later...

Won 3 Oscars. Another 27 wins & 46 nominations.

Quotes:

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.

Cameron: [to Anthony] Look at me. You embarrass me. You embarrass yourself.

Lara: How far can bullets go?
Daniel: They go pretty far except sometimes they get stuck in something and they stop.

Graham: I swear to you, Mom. I'll find whoever killed him.
Graham's Mother: Oh, I already know who killed him. You did. I told you to find your brother, but you were too busy for us. I'll take care of everything here. You go on now. You have better things to do.
