Crash Rocks

Last night I watched the Oscar nominated film “Crash”. It was SO well done! It’s all about stereotypes and how everyone is prejudice against someone. Sandra Bullock did a fabulous job as the rich wife of the district attorney played by Brendan Fraser. Matt Dillon played a very convincing rascist LA cop who by the end of the film you unsure whether to feel sorry for him or to hate him (I hated him ). Although there were many great performance in this film by far I think Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) was the best. He played Graham, a black police detective with a family in trouble. He ties all the stories together by saying this memorable line:
It’s the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.
Anyway, rent this movie. It definitely stands a chance at Oscar gold!
