Crash
The Director of this movie was Paul Haggis. he wrote,produced and did the screenplay for crash. Crash won three Oscar awards,first was for Best Picture, second was for Original Screenplay,and third for Editing. I really enjoyed this movie and the overall message was incredible. The creative techniques that caught my attention were how the movies started half way,and how it slowly came together as one. I really admire how an director can start off from one part of a movie and build up a whole story off of a main point. Another thing i enjoyed from this movie was the cast. I don't think he did a bad job in picking them,they are all talented and really touched me. I also liked how all different stories and situations all connected in the end. I watched this film with family and friends and we each got the same message out of this movie. We each got that you really don’t know when your going to run into the person who did you the worst harm, and actually need them at that moment the most, or how when you least want that person there they are the ones who do everything for you. Its really appreciating what you have and not taking it for granted. If I were to try and probably see how people could see this message different from what I saw I’d say it would have to be if that person were to take the message of this movie negative, offensive and discriminating. In that case people wouldn’t see the real lesson behind it. How even the people who harmed the other person really should realize whats’s deep within them before they lash out at others. To really just learn not to judge people by the color of their skin, or their background. The lifestyles, values, and point of views in this movie start off firstly by Stereotypes, secondly Racism, and thirdly how each person has some kind of issue. Just because a person has an Arabian accent, or tattoos all over their body, or because an African American walks down a street with baggy pants and a shirt doesn’t give anyone the right to judge them. Who am I to tell you what to be, who to dress like and how to act. This movie shows us something very important, its showing us whats around us,that todays society is so focused on everyone else that when it comes to their own issues they don’t deal with it. How race is such a huge deal and how as much as we say we are equal we aren’t how stereotypes keeps us from really getting to know a person because we are so used to expecting an action or a gesture from a certain race or culture that we don’t really see the big picture. God became a huge part in this film to me, it showed me how sinning is our daily struggle, how when we fall get back up again,repent and all of it just keeps repeating like a cycle. But yet god is there to guide us, he uses people in our path to be our angel and protect us he lets lessons in life teach us a lesson and opens our eyes to see just how we should treat others the way they want to be treated. This movie helped me realize just whats around us and to not fall back into this vicious cycle that everyones in, to just be that difference in my own life as well as in others. And that we should always ask for forgiveness.
