Review Corner
After being corrected on an earlier post, I am a little fearful to pan another film...
But I think I am fairly safe. I watched "Crash" this Friday on the recommendation of a very liberal physical/occupational therapist I know. I would have steered clear without the tip; with it, I spent my $1 with trepidation.
In short, it's Hollywood's idea of race in America. shorter, it's "Do The Right Thing" without any of the humor or grace. We're all racists down deep, the good people aren't really good and the bad people aren't really bad. We are all racists, but that's okay 'cause everybody is. From the movie, I have concluded that I dislike white people, black people, Asians (PacRim and Persian). The Mexican guy was allright.
That's my synopsis; IMDB sez:
For two days in Los Angeles, a racially and economically diverse group of people pursue lives that collide with one another in unexpected ways. These interactions are always interesting, and sometimes quite unsettling. The film explores and challenges your ability to judge books by their covers.
Save your dollar, save your two hours. jk gives it zero stars.
