Pros: Acting, screenplay, direction Cons: Not everybody will appreciate the message of the film
Everybody has moments of uncertainty about others. Every day, people test the humanity of others in ways seldom noticed right away. Yet, they are noticed, and these incidents register in the back of the mind. One of the key ways humanity is tested in ...
Pros: Great ensemble cast, no overshadowing stars, nicely written stories Cons: no "wow" factor in my opinion, I actually thought film was too short
Everyone's lives are connected in some fashion. At least that is what the central theme of this film is, and it rings as true as anything I have seen recently. Much like the film Pay It Forward, Crash relies on showing how even the smallest ...
Pros: stellar cast, excellent writing, doesn't hold back from subject matter Cons: will confuse some people
Racism is prevalent in society today. It's not as overt as the white-hooded figures of the past, but it's pften there bubbling just below the surface. The Academy Award winning film Crash will make many people uncomfortable as it shows ...
Pros: Great cast, two very tense scenes Cons: The bad characters didn't get what they deserved
This film just won Best Picture of 2005 at the Academy Awards! Crash is one of those movies like Magnolia or Go where it involves a huge cast of characters and how their individual stories are all intertwined. It stars a ...
Pros: Excellent acting and riveting theme. Cons: Profanity, sexual content, subject matter could be difficult.
Crash (2004) starts off with an accident and then goes back a day to fill in the gaps of its lead characters sharing their individual stories like one big mini-novel. The film is presented, as a modern real-life urban drama about fear, anxiety ...
Pros: Some scenes, a few of the actors Cons: Some scenes, screenplay fairly lame
Crash (2004) I waited to see Crash on DVD because I was underwhelmed by the reviews I read comparing it to the other out of sequence dramas like Magnolia, Traffic, 25th Hour, and so on - none of which I found all that ...
Pros: Great stories, great acting, directing, music and cinematography Cons: None
I went to see "Crash" today with almost no prior knowledge about the film. I actually prefer to this as opposed to seeing trailers that tell me half of the story before I see the film. I knew who was in the movie: Sandra Bullock, Don Cheedle, Matt ...
Pros: An absolute rollercoaster of emotions rooted in logic. Is that possible? Cons: Quite a few characters to keep track of, may cause uneasy feelings
I think one of the sole purposes of this movie is to lead you on a certain pathway of thoughts. Perhaps this is a pathway of thoughts you've been more or less conditioned to take your whole life. You think you know for sure who, for example, fired the ...
Pros: Direction; Performers; Message Cons: The spoken words will be too much for some
It seems like I have had my fill of ordinary movies as of late. I have watched remakes of old classics; predictable dramas; and comedies riddled with cliché’s and weak humor. For these reasons, it was a refreshing change when I decided to rent ...
Pros: Nicely shot, good acting, second half is reasonably moving... Cons: Very preachy, first half is a bit boring...
If there’s one thing you can rely on, it is that even the Oscars don’t get it right all the time. The most recent best picture, Crash, is one of the best examples of the problem I have with award shows. In fact, it was the sentimental and corny ...
Pros: crisp writing, excellent direction, fine performances, philosophically stimulating ideas Cons: ensemble production with so many subplots that the ending feels wimpy
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold ..." --W.B. Yeats, The Second Coming Crash is the latest installment in a genre that might be called the "aren't we ...
It is possible to look at Paul Haggis's new film Crash as being possibly one of several things. You can look at it as a treatise on racism in America and how it affects everyone. You can look at it as an LA crime story with connecting threads. You can ...
Pros: Strong, unflinching performances; realism... Cons: Some may find the racial language a little hard to digest.
America is supposedly the prototypical multicultural society, the world’s melting pot where diverse cultures have come together to form a society of men and women who are free; free to worship as they please, free to immerse themselves in their own ...
From Oscar-nominated screenwriter Paul Haggis (M
illion
Dollar Baby) comes his directorial debut, the adult drama Crash, a project that is nothing if not ambitious,commenting on many of the powerful and ...
Pros: Tough, gritty look at a reality we all shun to see. Cons: A great teaching tool for the very young if it weren't so blunt.
A few years ago (1991) there was a very fine but largely ignored film directed by Lawrence Kasdan about life among people of various races living in modern Los Angeles, California. This little gem of a film was Grand Canyon. It had several very ...
A stellar cast collides haphazardly in this insightfully written roundelay of racism rage and redemption which takes place over the course of one day ...More at Family Video
