i do not know about other people but when i think of car crash i think of destruction while i think of death while i think of loss while i think of the time and effort that it will take to rectify not only the situation involve how the hell youre go to get around now the car go but also how youre suppose to recover from the shock of it . in david cronenberg ridiculous attempt at a film and when the character think of a car crash and they think of sex and then some more sex and then even more sex after that . when i watch a film and i like them to have plot and development and character i do not spend the whole time despise for one reason or another . sometimes and hat character be good and can be do cleverly represent dislike an evil character or not like the way in which certain character go about their business can also be good fun but when you see a film that be just a barrage of sex scene and bizarre character talk like theyre in some sort of drug induce stupor and silly and unbelievable development while it very difficult to not only switch your mind off to what go on but also be tempt to not switch the film off . ala and crash be a film that just want to shock . it like an eight year old child that you get in store or any other public place and beg their parent for more of what they already have and make a really big deal about absolutely nothing for no reason while it like the attention hungry child who want everyone to notice them or the co worker who bigs themselves up to the point where you just do not care because you do not believe what youre hearing in crash case and it hear . a film critic or maybe they be a film theorist once say that represent cinema be a way of look into other people life people who only exist on screen and have no knowledge of the camera and u . in essence and this be what crash be represent it a portal into the life of james ballard ( spader ) his close to constantly naked wife catherine ( kara unger ) who always talk like she just have a shot of heroin and theyre relationship which break up a little when james find time to hang out with a bunch of equally annoy freak in the form of vaughn ( koteas ) and gabrielle ( arquette ) and a few other dreg whose main turn on be car crash . this be one portal i wish i hadn not look through . crash just consist of a bunch of random sex scene between two character we do not even know in the first third and then consist of sex scene between two character we do not even give a damn about in the second third before try to end up a some sort of tragic and poetic love story about two people who have now discover what really sexually turn them on . needless to say and it miss that particular mark by an absolute light year . there be one scene that be construct and shoot in such a way that it could resemble a sex scene in a film even though it not . it the scene when james and vaughn be drive slowly past a crash site a vaughn take picture of various thing while get off over the blood and the death and the way the victim be trap represent the camera shot be close ups of numerous thing such a the still body and the blood on the door and the way the plier be apply by the fireman a they crank down and break off the metal framework block them from rescue the victim this be not only disturb in the sense it suppose to be entertain but odd that the film maker assume that we even care about what go on and think we will like these character . crash be a film that fetishises car crash and glorifies them a if theyre as desirable a sex be . in fact and take away most of vaughn dialogue and some scene involve character talk about nothing in particular and the film would be pornography . pornography doesn not need to have a plot but when it do and i be sure it at a very basic level with minimal character development and talk while again and crash fit these two description and it absolutely shock crash be quite easily a wreck of a film and probably one of the bad i have ever see .
