I know this is an Oscar winner and that it's got tons of fans but I felt like this movie was being force fed to me. I get it: Racism is bad and coupled with coincidence, its worse.

To it's credit, there are some touching scenes between the Michael Pena character and his daughter but it wasn't enough to save the film.

I'm not sure how other people don't see it-this movie feels so much more contrived than it should. Paul Haggis' other script, 'Million Dollar Baby', is equally forced and contrived, both stories seem to eliminate logic and subtlety in a way that makes it's potential meaning feel shallow and trite.

I'd recommend 'In the Heat of the Night', 'American History X' or 'Amorres Perros' over 'Crash' any day. The latter of those three is not race-related but it's three tales all take place around one accident and is done more skillfully than 'Crash'.

Wow, where to begin? The opening scenes of Crash made me roll my eyes and hate it. Back in the day I had a neighbor (a white female) who believed that there was no such thing as a non-racist white person, and that we should all pay some sort of tax to the black people for our continuing racism towards them. Well, the beginning of Crash seemed like it was filmed by that exact kind of illogical, paranoid, guilt-tripped person. To add to that, I live in New York City, considered by many to be the most obnoxious place on earth. I've lived here for 15 years, and I'm yet to hear someone - anyone! - making fun of a black person for riding a bus, or because their name is "Snaniqua". I've never seen a Chinese person yell anything about "those %&$(@& Mexicans". I currently live in a multicultural neighborhood where Italian, Arab, Chinese, Latin American and Russian people co-exist without racial bias. I've lived next to about five Arab-run delis for years, and none of them has ever been vandalized. Maybe L.A. is different, but somehow I find it hard to believe.

That said, the stereotypes in the beginning of Crash made me wonder whether it was worth my time to continue with it. I was sure it would end up being a 1-star movie for me. However, as the movie unfolded, it became something completely different, and ended up making a tremendous impact on me. I'm not normally a fan of those overblown dramas that Hollywood loves to push as "important" and "groundbreaking", but Crash was a surprisingly well done, beautiful and moving film that touched something deep inside my heart. People who believe this movie is about racism are wrong. It's about humanity that we all share, regardless of skin color or background. Racism is nothing but veneer, an excuse people use to find faults in others. And when push comes to shove, for most of us it's nearly not as strong as what connects us all as human beings. This is an absolute must-see.
