It really wasnt at all.. was quite good in fact... and the music was very nice too
I also expected it to bomb... but when I went to go see it, it was just a very down to earth film about how we just get out of control with our hate and fear [in terms of racism]

Definately 👆 👆
I dunno how I got caught up into watching this type of movie again (i've watched a few on the racism thing.. and have rolled my eyes numerous times), but I have to say.. this one was definately thought provoking as you've put it 🙂

doubtful...great movie yes...but academy awards seem to be won by those movies that are timed to come out in the 2 months before the academy awards...i fear this film will be gone and forgotten by the next oscars
take the best movie of 2 years ago as an example...21 grams...absolutely brilliant acting...couldn't scrape a single awards because it came out just after the academy awards
I honestly don't know how anyone liked this movie, i thought it was terrible. Patronising, perdictable, and it made me cringe. You've got to be as ignorant as hell to find it thought provoking as some people have said. The script was appauling, and the movie basically just beats you over the head with the same point. Yes it was well acted, and tecnically well made, but these are its only plus points.
Crash was a beautiful film. Possibly one of the best films I've seen this year. It really put the entire racism issue we see now-a-days into perspective, and not in a cheesy way, they really did it right. And it's nice to see that some writers, directors, and actors are willing to take a risk on such a controversial issue.
Crash is a stunning film, strong in every aspect, particularly the writing. Crash is the most unpredictable movie I have ever seen. The way the director, Haggis, plays with your emotions and make you reevaluate opinons that you already made about certain characters earlier in the film is fascinating.

Crash is one of my favorites. Love it.
I thought so as well. The intertwining between the characters was well done and does give a lil food for thought. Even when you think there may be 1 chracter who is not flawed by racial thoughts, eventually its that character commits the fatal error.
i saw this film a while ago and i thought it was amazing. the title doesn't do it any justice, i think one of the things i found so good about it was the way in which right at the end, the Black woman who had taken such offence at the police officer being racist, was like to those people "dont even talk to me if you can't speak proper english" (or something like that) based just on the fact that they looked foreign! shows how hypocritical some people can be!

Ahhh, hindsight...
I'm surprised 'Crash' won. It's a good movie, but also a little preachy. I was sure 'Brokeback Mountain' was going to walk it.
I was tickled to death with this win. I was actually going to be pacified with the Original Screenplay nod...but I am thrilled with Best Picture.
Halfway through I started to believe it might actually have a chance. However, the only award I'll ***** about is Best Song, as 'In the Deep' most certainly should have won.
Its good to know, just because 'gay' is in right now, it doesn't mean the Academy was going to atomatically walk BROKEBACK or TRANSAMERICA to the podium.
