Customer Reviews of Crash (2-Disc Director's Cut Edition)
No subtlety at all I am completely at a loss why this movie won Best Picture. The concept of the film is great, but the execution of it is lacking. The plot is a complex one, interweaving many stories together to get one point across: racism is WRONG. <
> <
>I appreciate that the movie didn't just deal with one ethnicity's racial problems. However, I don't like how the characters were treated. They were one dimensional, just a figure to emphasize the racial tension of that particular ethnicity. The "coincidences" that connected each story were too cliched to be believable. And I find it difficult to believe the level of blatant racism that each person in their respective scenarios encountered. <
> <
>This film had so much potential, with its great cast and interesting concept. Too bad it had to beat us over the head with it.
Form your own opinion, mine is that it's not worth watching...
I read so many positive things about this movie, I was planning on seeing it, and then it wins the best picture oscar. I thought it has to be worth buying. Was I ever wrong. I was actually mad after it was over. I spent money on this? There are so many on the used market that I can't even sell it now. What a waste.
<
>There is no plot or storyline. Nothing about this movie is new or original. It twists the lives of some characters together, like that hasn't been done a million times before.
<
>Anyway, don't just assume it's worth owning like I did.
Society at the Precipice
Searingly honest, brilliantly nuanced look at the multiplicity of racism in our country. No soap-boxing, no facile answers, no goody-goody good guys and evil villains, instead showing realistically conflicted human beings struggling with their own prejudices and the prejudices imposed on them, and the distortions inherent in a multicultural society. Though set in Los Angeles, this could be almost any major American city. Shows us the precipice, yet offers hope. Excellent acting, too, by all concerned. If there was an ensemble Oscar, this cast would have deserved it. The film won the Best Picture Oscar it should have won. Its much touted rival, "Brokeback Mountain," was a good film, but a much smaller, much less important one, based on a short story (which I read) that obviously had to be stretched to make a feature-length film.
