Crash Review

Crash

Filled with action, tragedy, suspense and much more, this movie was a really hard movie to watch. Even though it was hard watching it, the movie had a really big impact on me. All the things that were said and portrayed are true. They all happen in daily life. When Paul Higgins wrote this movie he had a lesson in mind, and he carried it out very well. When the movie started there were little snip-its here and there and none of them seemed to make sense or connect. But as the movie progressed I saw how they all lead to one another, and in the end it lead to helping one another. Many times the problems people face in our world lead to the same kind of things that happened in the movie. People got upset, and started yelling and cussing, there is stereotypes and racism. But, when the people put all of the bad things that happen behind them and pass one good thing on to another person; like helping them , listening, or just giving them the benefit of the doubt, things begin to change for them. I think that Higgins wanted to portrays this message to as many people as possible. Many times we are so caught up in our own worlds that we do not take the time to realize how bad the situations really are, and sometimes it takes a really tough, hard movie to show people reality. Higgins is trying to encourage, and to me it seemed like he was almost pleading for people to turn, and start doing something now to stop all that is going on.

This movie was filled with racism, and values that were a messed up. Several of the points of view were also very controversial. In the movie several people did things that they thought they would never do, but because of anger and not thinking clearly they did. Higgins is wanting to tell everyone, or help people realize what is the problems and why, before they do anything, or repeating one of the points of view, lifestyles, values etc. Even though this movie was hard, we can take something out of it in reference to God. God loves each and every one of us, and he has made each and everyone o us equal no matter what race they are. Also towards the end of the movie there is a scene towards the end of the movie, where snow is falling down. To me this symbolized how Christ came to give each and every one of us unconditional Grace. This could be represented by the snow that fell. Which represents, God’s Grace that falls and comes down on every one of us not matter what has happened, he still will shower you with grace. In this movie if they had all followed the golden rule they would not have suffered as they did. As I said before this was a very hard movie to watch but it was very thought provoking.
