Everyone is angry. Everyone is scared. They all feel that something that belongs to them has been taken away and they don't know how to get it back. And in this movie, they say so.
In this film, everyone says the most horrifyingly virulent things to everyone else: family members, people in business, employees, and strangers, reflecting a range of prejudice on the basis of class, gender, and, above all, race. [Above taken from this review.]
Some critics have complained that Crash exaggerates the extent of racism, classism, and sexism in the United States. However, it seems that the intention of Crash is to strip away the PC talk and tell what people are actually thinking. Crash also gives us some hope that things are getting better, as is portrayed at the end of the film.
Do you think that American society is as racist as Crash portrays? Does racism, classism, and sexism lie beneath the surface of political correctness? Do you believe that beneath racist sentiments lies a deeper humanity?
