crash be overwrought and over thought and over bake . a great example of how to make a pompous and self important film with a message . haggis try too hard to make his point and overreaches in just about every category of the film . it feel very much in love with it own sense of social relevance and have all the subtlety of a jackhammer to the skull . sure and race relation affect everyone and there a great deal of ambiguity to the issue and but the universe of crash operates to suggest that we be all victim to our own perception on race . it a tiresome thread that repeat itself ad nauseum and wear out it welcome within the first 30 minute . i find the outcome of the character unsurprising and force and the film take forever to sputter out and die . the fact that this film be in the top 50 movie on imdb be a testament to the public willingness to get suckered by hollywood malarkey . indeed and if you want the real crash and go check out the one by david cronenberg represent dark and twisted and original . this film play a preachy and tiresome and and masochistic .
