Well, the thing is that some people (including myself, Roger Ebert and some others) actually thought that Crash worked. :)


Even if you though it worked in getting its (overly simplistic, prejudiced) message across...I don't see how anyone could look past its god-awful screenplay, poor direction, and mostly-cheesy acting (with the exception of Thandie Newton...who was great).


Wow.

I really hate this attitude. So, so much.

"I don't see how anyone could look past its..."

Guess what, bucko? Not everyone views something the exact same way you do.

It's really so tiring and annoying to have to try to defend one's opinion of a movie to pretentious people who nitpick and judge everything.

I actually think the acting and technical directing(cinematography and editing and stuff) isn't too shabby in Crash. Can make a case for it.

The screenplay though... :grrr: I still give it about a B, I'm neither one of the signature haters nor someone on the island of Crash support, I'm somewhere in the middle. It's watchable if you take it for what it is.
