crash

i always wanted to watch this, but i haven't got a chance. i kept the dvd with me for more than 3 months, and finally... Oscar winner, yes it is, but i'm not moved by that. it was actually zetti's recommendation, and, she always has a good choice in movie selection.

as a lot of people know, it is a movie about racial discrimination in the US. a movie that tells the truth beneath the sugar-coated melting pot. if that reflects the truth, then i must say that, i'm lucky enough to be here, where my home is.

the little stories in "Crash" linked well using the similar treatment of "Love Actually". the messages conveyed are somehow easier to be digested and everything is simple and straight to the points.
i love the Persian family's story the most, and followed by Ryan Philip's. It tells you right away the famous quote of the movie, "U think u know who u are? U have no idea." So its true.
The Persian father is being over protective. He is narrow minded and blinded by a lot of negative thoughts. He is just so paranoid that he can't even go through each day of his life peacefully. if so, what's the point of migrating? what's more important than having a peaceful thought? sometimes, u think u've chosen the right path, but u tend to neglect some other important aspects that might lead you to hell.
The cop helped the black tv director, he was feeling uneasy after what happened to him and his wife the other night. he wanted to do something in return, something good. and he did. but how come some laughters from a stranger that he is willing to help can lead to a murder? it's not even an unfriendly smirk...merely laughters. and if they could've talk better before any gestures, wouldn't it be good? yes, if... ...

do we really crash into each other just to... just to be closer to them? just to feel them and just to know them?

We don't have to crash into each other just to be closer to them. We are so close, yet so far. "6 degrees of separation"

No! we're not going borderless. We need some space to ourself. BUt, "the world is at our fingertip" (sounds like a tvc)
