I imagine that the writers of Crash just put every offensive line that they heard in their life about any & every group then somehow strung it together a la Traffic to seem edgy. I blame this movie for Babel existing. Those who favor this movie may be thinking, “But hey, there was so much redemption after people realized how their actions hurt people.” Yes after mostly fulfilling all the stereotypes that it paraded. Thanks for my scraps of goodness. If I was forced to choose the most hateful storyline, it is the one where a woman is sexually assaulted & yes, she lashes out at her husband, which isn’t right, but his pain is somehow portrayed as more worthy of hurt & she has to apologize to her husband & then basically say bygones because her assaulter saves her life, which totally happens. And yes, movies are fiction so we’re not going for realism, but movies say something about our values & Crash’s values are random, haphazard & clumsy & not in a beautiful human way, but in a consistently harsh & ugly way.
