Crash

Saw this movie last weekend and pretty impressed with the message it conveyed. Narrated in similar fashion of Amerros Perros. I like this movie for the fact that it illustrates racism, such a sensitive subject in a very mature and balanced way. Movie being such a gripping medium forces people into believing certain philosophies through a strong story. But this masterpiece doesn't draw any conclusions or statements but allows viewers to see the criss-crossed confusions in our heads with a bunch of connected stories.

Watching this film I felt, that Racism doesn't exists only in how the "other" treats you but also in how "we" perceive ourselves. Like fear doesn't exists without our acknowledgment of it.

While watching this movie i felt the first half of the movie relates to our artificial and worked up state while the second half relates to our natural and relaxed state.
