I watched the movie "Crash" last night - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 01-11-2006, 11:27 AM

Was kind of interesting, different. Not like my usual "blow 'em up" movies. It was good, worth the watch.

Though I have to confess, and this is really hard for me to say (haha) but I almost wanted to cry when the little girl jumped up to protect her dad with her magic cloak.

I think I need a beer now...

G-Rotica · 01-11-2006, 11:28 AM

It was different, that's for sure.

seeric · 01-11-2006, 11:28 AM

thanks for reminding me. i got charged on my cable bill for that movie and never ordered it. maybe i should just tell them to credit me for it and actually watch it. i've heard that its good.

BAKO · 01-11-2006, 11:28 AM

its a good movie

Rinaldo · 01-11-2006, 11:29 AM

I did cry

Ross · 01-11-2006, 11:30 AM

Great movie. I watched it in the cinema when it was released and my girlfriend hated it. She's a very intelligent girl but didn't like this movie. I don't understand.

I'm gonna go buy it on DVD tonight actually. Gonna sit and watch it with a few Vodka's.

who · 01-11-2006, 11:32 AM

Good film, worth watching. If only all the bigwig hollywood blockbusters had the same kinda intelligence behind them. We'd ALL be smarter

Sly · 01-11-2006, 11:39 AM

I don't know. You guys thought this was an intelligent movie?

The premise was a bunch of exaggerated racist people realizing that all people are really just people, all in one day. I thought it was over-exaggerated, but entertaining nonetheless.

A rookie cop switches partners because the other guy is "racist". Then he saves a black mans life (the same one from the former incident who was suddenly trying to prove that he is black), gives a black kid a ride, then shoots the black kid for thinking he had a gun (which he actually did but the incident didn't involve it). I could see why someone would think the movie is dumb, its pretty far fetched.

I have to agree.

It deals with pseudo-intellectual themes in a heavy-handed, derivative manner. It offers no though-provoking questions, nor does it provide hitherto unknown insights into the human condition. I could go on, but dinner's ready.

You just made me want to watch it more. Soon as this Nickelback CD is over I'll order it.

I'm with you, Sly. The movie piles on coincidence after friggin' coincidence. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but I didn't think it was one of the year's best, thats for sure. It had some interesting observations and interesting things to say, and showed how we all have our prejudices, be they what they are. But yeah, after awhile, I remember watching it in the theater and my eyes kind of rolled, as I was saying to myself, "Okay, come on, they are presenting these unrealistic coincidences and trying to pass them off as believable." It didn't work with me as it did with others obviously.

candyflip · 01-11-2006, 01:03 PM

Anything with Don Cheadle in it is a great flick.

He doesn't pick bad movies or roles and he rocks them all.

Buck from Boogie Nights is one of my most favorite movie character of all time.

He's probably one of the best B-level actors out there. Very underrated but picking up some steam lately.

quiet · 01-11-2006, 01:11 PM

didn't really like it... stereotype nirvana.

SetTheWorldonFire · 01-11-2006, 01:15 PM

good movie.

Sarah_Jayne · 01-11-2006, 01:47 PM

I still find it amussing they showed it on my flight over to the States in November. You would think anything called Crash would be a no-no.

Yep. I thought it was bad personally. The people who think this movie is "deep" probably thought the same of Donnie Darko.

Abithefiend · 01-11-2006, 02:17 PM

I've seen it a couple of times, very weird but kinda interesting.

Kevsh · 01-11-2006, 02:17 PM

The coincidences were a bit much and they tried too hard to get the message through, but it was a well-done, well-acted movie. There were some tense moments and yes, when the girl jumped to save her dad I was sure she died. It was a strong moment.

Wiggles · 01-11-2006, 03:20 PM

looks really good, went to see it one night and plans got screwed up, keep forgetting to rent it.

Praguer · 01-11-2006, 03:37 PM

I saw it last week. I think the movie is way overacted and full of cliches.

I very much liked it, but I agree with your assessment. It didn't have a complex plot, it basically just tried to put all the racial stereotypes out there and let the audience react to them. In a weird way I thought of the movie as a complex Seinfeld episode in the sense that all the small stories and characters were wound together in some fashion to form one big story.

It also shows how the actions of one person can lead to a chain of events that affect many total strangers, whose actions then go on to affect even more total strangers... Kind of a diagram of how life really works...

je_rome · 01-11-2006, 05:19 PM

probably the best movie of 2005

PrintAdult · 01-11-2006, 05:22 PM

That movie was great, I rented it at blockbuster then told them I wanted to buy it. It makes you think about how your actions effect others on a larger scale.

I like Cheadle too, but ask any English person what they thought of his cockney accent in Oceans 11 (and the dumb sequel) and you'll find out he doesn't 'rock' every role - it was a seriously bad accent, trust me!

I have been moved by many movies, but for some reason, that scene certainly didn't make me tear up. Just being honest. "Crash" was missing something for me; although I liked it, not nearly as much as others.

MandyBlake · 01-11-2006, 05:43 PM

it was a very good movie. different but good.

sacX · 01-11-2006, 05:45 PM

I enjoyed it, was quite like Magnolia. Yes a little overblown but that made it more interesting.

swoop · 01-11-2006, 06:04 PM

liked it as well. liked how the movie came full circle

sniperwolf · 01-11-2006, 06:20 PM

haven't seen that movie... will check it out soon.

Bluewire Ross · 01-11-2006, 06:23 PM

A crash course in unmasking the racial and class divisions in American society that make every stranger into a potential enemy.

Pacino · 01-11-2006, 06:30 PM

Friend told me about it last year, I enjoyed the film

sfera · 01-11-2006, 06:35 PM

One of 2005's best movies for me.

I have not seen Crash but I just wanna say that I love Magnolia so much. I have not seen any movie that's very character-driven like this one.

Yeah that's probably a better analysis as the director titled the movie because it was reflective of how all different people and races "crash" into each other on a daily basis.

Interesting to hear. I thought he did well and I even have a few Cockney friends... although I didn't know he was supposed to be Cockney in the movie. Go figure.

woj · 01-11-2006, 09:49 PM

it was a good flick indeed

Seriously....he almost erased the memory of Dick Van Dyke.

He was excellent in Hotel Rawanda though.
