Crash: A movie Review

I was watching an old movie by Paul Haggis titled CRASH. It is an Oscar-winning Best Picture in 2005 and I can't help but admire the brilliance of the writer. It is a movie that talks about racial discrimination, power, crime, family, and most of all love and compassion.

You would hate the characters which you can relate to your everyday experience. The movie simply tackles normal reaction of people. We are capable of stereotyping a person and think that we are better than the other. I say capable, but we have choices to be good rather than bad.

We have choices to be compassionate to others and extend our patience in simple incident such as traffic jam and taking our turn in the line. If you want to watch a movie with so much moral lesson, watch this movie. I rate it as 5 stars.

The story is about the lives of a Brentwood housewife, her district attorney husband, a Persian shopkeeper, two cops, a pair of carjackers and a Korean couple converge over a 36-hour period in the diverse metropolis of post-9/11 Los Angeles.
