Crash (2005)

Each and every one of those who participated in the film, had an excellent performance. movie with a high social content. It shows that sometimes bad people are not so bad, and good people are not so good

Nearly half way through the film "LA. Crash" misses ideas and new themes to carry itself another hour. In general, I think the idea of making a movie about race relationships and the effect on society is interesting and the movie always knows what it should be. Straightforward with much intensity and good drama and even some "punch-in-the-gut-moments". What pushes the movie for me is the fact that it willingly takes a straight up evil and bad man, and allows him to be human. Not that many movies have done that or can do that. The story is non linear and follows many storylines and characters to in the end culminate all these stories. In that regard, it feels pretty similar to "Pulp Fiction" (1994), just not that funny, not that violent, not that unique and not that well-acted and directed. But, comparing a movie with Pulp Fiction is never good for the movie itself. What ultimately prevents the movie of being more than "solid" is that the storylines are obvious, although often well-intentioned, the ambition is just too much to make it unpredictable or even exciting. The acting is good but because of the big ensemble and therefore little screen time, no character can really shine that much or put on a memorable performance. Maybe it is just because I have seen too many Crime/Drama flicks, that this one just didn't fully connect with me and frankly comparing "LA. Crash" to movies like "The Godfather" (1972) or "GoodFellas" (1990) would be a comprehensive stretch. 6/10

Good endeavor, nice story but built up too much with exaggerated coincidences and illogical outside-the-universe plot that keeps telling you that you are in a movie but not a real life.For anyone who didn't watch Amorres Perros, the movie will be considered a masterpiece.But still a fine good movie, however, it doesn't deserve Best Picture.

Plan on sitting through almost 2 hours of a "poor me I'm black, or brown, or yellow, or whatever other color as long as it isn't white" they were able to fit in as long as it wasn't white message with as many racist stereotypes as they could fit in that amount of time. If this had been the other way around and shown all the factual racist motivated incidents that have been perpetrated on whites, there would have been riots all over the country and anyone that had anything to do with the movie would have had to apologize and the movie would have been banned all across the country. I'm sure the people who made it are saying that this is a "statement" about the inhumanity towards the "minority's". I am getting tired of trying to watch a movie for entertainment and instead being subliminally lectured to by an industry that has no morals. There has never been a more racist movie since CSA, but at least that was a comedy.
