Reaction and assesment to the movie Crash (2004) directed by Paul Haggis

Critique of the Film Crash

The 2004 drama Crash is a critically acclaimed film that follows the intersecting lives of a group of diverse Los Angeles residents . The film was directed by Paul Haggis and included an ensemble cast featuring : Sandra Bullock , Don Cheadle , Jennifer Esposito , Matt Dillon Terrence Howard , Thandie Newton , Ryan Phillippe , Chris Ludacris Bridges , Brendan Fraser , Larenz Tate , and Michael Pena . The film was set in contemporary Los Angeles and captured the negative aspects of diversity and urban life . The gritty depiction of urban diversity is thought provoking

in Crash because it illustrates the raw prejudices and stereotypes that multiethnic groups have for one another . The film is also captivating because it abandons political correctness in an attempt to show the true feelings and attitudes that people often harbor , but try to hide in favor of being politically correct .

Finally , a third goal that the film seemingly wants achieve is to capture the essence of the disconnection that people feel when living in vast urban cities . Capturing the disconnection that people feel for each other is an important goal of the film because it shows that people are not as disconnected as they think and that we are more interrelated than we realize
