Lions Gate Films presents a film directed by
Paul Haggis starring Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Loretta Devine, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Larenz Tate, Ryan Phillippe, and Thandie Newton. Here is a hop-scotch storyline designed to have us ask why we have not progressed as far as we might have. It also tells us who is to blame.
Crash portrays several story lines that all have a common theme - we who live in America are a prejudiced people. Be it the African-American television director, his white producer, a seasoned LA Policeman or a rookie on the force or a Persian shop owner - we all have our pre-defined opinions of each other. Some claim that this award-winning film is heavy-handed in its message. So be it - the message is a necessary one. In the end, you realize that we are all to blame for not making as much progress as we might like. Perhaps the telling of this story will help us take responsibility and move forward!
