JB Brown English 15 4-22-15 Crash Movie Analysts Crash is a movie about racism and stereotypes in modern American society. The film has a variety of main characters that go through difficult culture situations. There are many different views on the theme of Crash and what the director‚ Paul Haggis‚ was trying to say. I believe what Haggis was trying to say is‚ no matter who you are‚ everyone has some degree racism and stereotypes. Throughout the movie‚ Haggis shows many different kinds of characters

Crash‚ Boom‚ Bang Janie Bunce Abstract The movie “Crash” was voted the best movie of 2005 for good reason‚ it deals with subjects that others were probably afraid to tackle.

Los Angeles is shown in

Upon watching Crash Directed by Paul Haggis‚ I have come to the conclusion that people are a lot more like sheep than we would like to admit. Sheep are followers; they go with what every other sheep does. They have no sense of reasoning‚ right or wrong‚ or emotion that comes with the frontal lobe that human beings were gifted with. So why must we continue to deny the use of our frontal lobe’s incredible ability to be unique? Why don’t we break the cycle of letting

Crash tells the story of people from dissimilar lives as they intersect with one another. Each character in the movie is in some way personally affected‚ transformed‚ damaged‚ or mistreated by racism. They’re also all in some way guilty of racism themselves. A racist cop pulls over a black couple and molests the wife‚ only later to risk his life to save the women; an honest cop protects a black man from discrimination only to later discriminate against someone himself. The movie in the end is both

Sociological Analysis of “Crash” Paul Haggis created an excellent film that depicts stories of subtle racism showing through in today’s America. In his film‚ characters with different racial backgrounds collide with each other. He ingeniously titled his film “Crash” (2004). I believe this movie is telling it’s audience that social stereotypes exist in just about all of us; social stereotypes in this movie typically are learned from specific incidents or collisions between people. An example

What did I learn from the movie “Crash?” A lot. One lesson I learned is not to judge a book by its cover. For example‚ in the movie‚ Sandra Bullock’s character was afraid of and distrustful of her Latino locksmith because he was bald and had tattoos. She assumed he was in a gang and would sell copies of her keys to his gang friends so they could come back and rob her. In reality‚ the locksmith was a peaceful‚ loving‚ kind‚ and gentle father and husband. I probably would be a little afraid of
