i write this a a two part review . part two have spoiler . part 1 represent no and this isn not that one about the sex with car accident . this be the one about racism in l. a. you know and the one where everybody be a racist and and race be the topic on everybody mind at all time . race . it like the movie have a form of turret syndrome where race be the constant theme . race . racist . racism . race relation . relay race . paul haggis make a movie which take the structure of magnolia and which be use to show the disconnect of people who be tangentially connect and and then screw it into a 153 mental vomit about racism in america . race . in the 24 hour period we have 7 story run parallel all connect and about race . the first hour and people say ridiculous stuff and do absurd thing in an effort to be real about racism in america . for example and the story with ludicrous and larenz tate provide the comic relief . too bad and the first half of their story be lift straight from the bonnie situation in pulp fiction . racism . their section be the quentin tarantino section where and instead of be cool and talk about foot massage and religion and the character talk about race and racism . constantly . the other good thing about it be the mexican story when the mexican guy be talk to his daughter . he give her his invisible impenetrable cloak to protect her from bullet . decent writing and but that only because the writer have have daughter and know what they would say in his place . the rest of the story be extremely ludicrous . the hindi do not act in any semblance of realism . the scene where he try to get the lock fix and the mexican tell him he need a new door be abbreviate and stupid . why would anybody act like that . be it realistic . nooo . it remind me more of the convenience store clerk from the doom generation . six dollar sixty six cent girly . if i ever watch the second half of the movie and i hope his head be shoot off and his bodiless head start cough up relish . i haven not mention race in over a paragraph . race . racism . race for the sun . well . then and there be the black guy who want to be white and matt dillon who have a chip on his shoulder against black and ryan phillippe who look beautiful and do nothing and and various other bad actor act badly with bad dialog . when matt dillon molest the black producer wife and could i help it if i be crack up . when philippe be second guess his write up of his partner for racism and can i help but crack up . the movie be so funny when it be be racist . racist . racist i tell you . now and mind you and this movie be nominate for best picture and best director and best screenplay and and best editing and besides a nod to matt dillon who actually do attempt to do a decent job . who be pay off for that one and i have no clue . don not see it unless you feel like be preach at about the racism in society through a bad and unrealistic script from 2 white men over fifty who have no semblance of reality or interaction with real society in any way shape or form . d part 2 representthe second half of crash take any and all story line in the first half . and spew them back out in a sort of redemptive and conclusionary and the world be a big coincidence kind of way . and it be in fact one of the bad way to do it . take 1999 magnolia . people weren not conveniently tie together over and over again . they be just connect in a strange way that happen more often than you think . you know somebody who know somebody who do something that you know somebody else be also involve in . crash take this wrap into a serious extreme . the story be line up so everybody meet again . be there only 5 on the lapd force . aren not these people work weird shift . dillon and philippe be a late shift then an early one the next day . and and why do tate have to be the murdered hitchhiker . wouldn not it have have more emotional tension and as well a realism and if it have be somebody we have not be follow all day long . like phillippe just pick up a random hitchhiker and then freak out . everybody would be freak out . eventually and in the second half and the touch invisible cloak scene be use to get the hindi to shoot the daughter . it tick me off and make me feel dirty . not that the hindi shoot the daughter and but that they create a beautiful touching scene and then have it be the direct cause of people tear up . it really tick me off . at the writer and not the scene . the whole movie be fake and totally uncalled for . the coincidence be far too many and they require an extreme suspension of disbelief . unlike magnolia which be connect mildly and this have connection upon connection upon connection which be just so over the top . the only good part in the second half be when sandra bullock fall down the stair . she doesn not die though . she should have . i cheer when she fell . the bad part about the movie be it pull a magnolia . not just in structure and but it have a montage over the song in the deep where you see everybody be depress . magnolia take this and have post modern commentary on it by have all of the character sing along to aimee mann wise up . unfortunately and magnolia come out in 1999 and while crash come out in 2005. it hard to make commentary on a movie which would not be make for another 6 year and but it happen . somehow . utter waste of my time . first half represent d while second half represent low grade ever while overall represent f .
