Ryan Phillippe! Haven't seen him in a while.
I still don't know what to think about this film.
Crash
looks like one of those movies that really moves you and makes you truly
appreciate film or it just completely misses. Hopefully with the help of
five new movie clips from Crash, we can get a better sense of what
to expect.
Crash Movie Clips
A Brentwood housewife and her DA husband. A Persian
store owner. Two police detectives who are also lovers. A black television
director and his wife. A Mexican locksmith. Two car-jackers. A rookie cop.
A middle-aged Korean couple... They all live in Los Angeles. And in the
next 36 hours, they will all collide... A provocative, unflinching look
at the complexities of racial conflict in America, "Crash" is
that rare cinematic event – a film that challenges audiences to question
their own prejudices. Diving headlong into the diverse melting pot of post-9/11
Los Angeles, this compelling urban drama tracks the volatile intersections
of a multi-ethnic cast, examining fear and bigotry from multiple perspectives
as characters careen in and out of one another’s lives. No one is
safe in the battle zones of intolerance. And no one is immune to the simmering
rage that sparks violence – and changes lives... Funny, powerful,
and always unpredictable, "Crash" boldly explores the gray area
between black and white, victim and aggressor...and finds no easy solutions.
An interesting film, Crash plays on both hemispheres of my brain.
One side is telling me to avoid the film, the other side is telling me to
be there opening night. Hmmm. Anyway, IFILM
has posted five new clips from Crash. Each clip is pretty cool
and about a minute long.
