i remember see this movie when i be about 7 while and at the time it shock me . i have see a violent movie before and but i never saw a movie with the consequence and reality of violence . this movie not only show this and but it also show how people can change their life and choose happiness . what this movie do and crash fail to do be to be truthful . crash try to show how racism be bad ( and crash actually have a build in anti asian bias ) and to come at it from a morally superior position . grand canyon come at thing from such a raw and real perspective that it actually end up on a high ground than crash . especially when you compare the ending . the end of crash be this supposedly neat little end that tie everything up . while grand canyon simply end on a quiet note and where you know nothing much will change in the character live but that because life just go on too and there no suitable end . no matter how good . bad you be . there be no end of a chapter to begin another .
