Crash

Crash is one of those movies that keeps the viewers wondering what is next. The theme focuses on the emotional effects or moods. The characters in this movie go through several ups and downs but the moods play off each other. The movie also shows the struggle for human dignity. Several characters in this movie potray a basic conflict between two opposing sides of human nature, good versus evil. The characters of the movie make everyday decisions that ultimately impact the lives of other characters in the movie.

There is a significance in meaning of the title Crash. The characters go through several struggles and events that are so different from each other, but ultimately end up deciding the outcome, crashing into each other. The director uses a variety of points of views when filming. He gets up close and personal in the character's lives, so the viewers feel and emotional tie. The film doesn't include any animations. The movie is based on real life situations that people deal with everyday. It's a story that could happen with any viewer.

Crash fits under the humanistic approach because the film is built around a statement that teaches us something and helps us get a clear understanding of human nature, the aspect of life, and human condition. As humans it's our nature to judge other people based on their outwardly appearance, but it's a person's inward being that we should be focusing on. The movie shows black versus white, American versus foreign, good cop versus bad cop, and other moral struggles, but if they would take the time to get to know each other or trust other people the ending would be different. People wouldn't end up dying.
