Today I watched the film Crash on Netflix. I have scrolled by it probably a thousand times to watch something else for no reason at all. But today was different. From the opening scene I could not stop watching. This film almost makes you feel the tension between every character in the movie regardless of your race. This is a perfect example of stereotypes and the reverse. The character that stuck out the most to me however was Matt Dillion's character. He played a angry racist but mostly misunderstood cop with a sickly father he who is being refused health care. He sticks out the most for me because his pain is seen in almost everything he does. The way he speaks to and treats woman and black people. The film had a remarkable way of putting yourself into each character shoes which made it hard to point a finger at any one character to blame for the events took place. What made the movie even more interesting was the fact that each situation tied together in some way. Im curious to know whether this was a book first because I would most definitely be interested in reading it. Crash has made it to my personal much watch movie list and I plan on watching it again for things I may have missed the first time around.
