crash is the most interesting and best constructed film i have seen this year.
it is a tightly intertwined story of the lives of a multi-racial cast of characters as they play out the endearing and despicable aspects of their beliefs and desires.
they are all neither saints nor scoundrels but the touchingly flawed people we all are. the film privileges race as the focus of how the characters perceive each other---it's not a pretty picture but gives a fair and often nuanced view of how
racial stereotyping plays itself out amidst the stresses of everyday life in a big
u.s. city which throws the diversity of humankind together on a very uneven playing field.
see this film.

Best. Movie. Ever.
What did we tell you?! Glad you finally saw it.
What, no dap to Marnie & I for alerting you that this was a must-see film? You make it sound like you had heard of this film before our business brakfast at NoMI.
the staff at lalspeak regrets the
omission of props to m. and d. for
their insightful and compelling
suggestion that this was a "must-see" movie.
I don't remember that conversation, but it sounds plausible. I deny nothing.
(Except for misspelling "breakfast" above.)
