Crash Movie Analysis

The movie Crash spoke of the issue of racism and discrimination; these issues are still faced today. Many of the characters in the movie come from impoverished backgrounds such as the hispanic man who worked in order to support his family. These people are somewhat relatable; they can serve as reminders to us of past relatives who immigrated into the United States. The movie shows us common examples of stereotypes; these stereotypes may not be true, but they still have ill effects on the characters within the movie. The movie not only shows us stereotypes, but also tries to give us an understanding about where these stereotypes originate. The beginning scene of the movie where a car is stolen by two black men gives us insight into the prejudices

The film Dying to Know by Steve Kroschel is certainly easier to watch than most documentaries. The film’s subject is a natural diet developed by Dr. Gerson that can cure cancer. I did have some reservations about the film in the beginning, by the end though I believe this therapy can work. Including patient interviews was a very smart idea; something to tug at the heartstrings and it did just that. It gave more of a human aspect to the film.

In this essay, I am going to analysis the film named “Cloverfield”, which was released on 18th January 2008 in North America. I will talk about the genre, key scenes, media institution, other media company, film marketing, marketing mix, media technology, audience, digital platforms, convergence and regulation.

Entering a room and looking at a handful of people, a brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse, one wonders “What do all of these people have in common?” Detention. The answer is detention. The Breakfast Club written and directed by John Hugh’s stars Anthony Michael Hall as Brian Johnson: the brain, Molly Ringwald as Claire Standish: a beauty, Emilio Estevez as Andrew Clark: the jock, Judd Nelson as John Bender: the rebel, and Ally Sheedy as Allison Reynolds: the recluse. The Breakfast Club only won one award, the MTV Movie Silver Bucket of Excellence Award; however, it is considered a “textbook romantic comedy” among today’s culture. The diverse characters, classic soundtrack, and even the unsuspecting love stories entice people to watch

Crash focused on race and the effects it had on the lives of people living in the Los Angeles area. The movie showed how everyone was effected by race weather they there racist themselves or a victim of racism; many times they were linked. Despite what many people thing, or would like to believe, the world has not changed as much as we would like to think. Marilyn Fryes essay Oppression said that “The experiences of oppressed people are that the living of ones life is confined and shaped by forces and barriers which are not accidental or occasional and hence avoidable.” (Rohenberg CITE) Throughout Crash you see examples of this over and over again. Racism and oppression are still a major issue in the world and unfortunately a lot of the time people stay in the the world they are born into.

Crash is a movie released in 2004. The movie deals with racial stereotyping and different incidents with different people. In the plot there is a black detective that is estranged from his mother and has a brother that is a criminal that also has a side kick that he works with. A white couple, the father is an attorney and the wife has a tendency to stereotype people. Two police officers and one of them is a racist and harassed an African American couple, that are in the show business. A Hispanic man that works as a locksmith and tries to take care of his daughter and wife, and a Persian family man that is discriminated by an American in a shop and mistaking him from an Arabic man. Some of these people come in contact with each other in some way or another, in a negative situation that deals with racial stereotyping of each other and prejudices. (“Crash (2004 film),” 2015)

The film Crash follows eight groups of people and their interactions with each other in the city of Los Angeles. From car crashes to running into people around the city, the characters experience different kinds of crashes over the course of thirty-six hours. When the main characters are first introduced racial stereotypes are thrown every which way; someone is afraid to sell a Middle Eastern man a weapon, a woman moves closer to her husband when she sees a pair of African American men walking her way, an African American couple apologizes to two white policemen even though they have done nothing wrong, a Mexican locksmith is accused of being a gangbager just because of his looks. At each of these instances, almost every person in some

From rich to poor, white to black, and Hispanic to Arab, all the characters in Crash face challenges every day but, in actuality, they all just want to protect what matters the most to them. When it feels like the most important thing is being taken away and nothing can be done, it is better to feel something even if it is hurt, anger, or pain. These feelings are signs of life and give feeling and purpose in a completely numb body. They also show how even when someone has done wrong in the past it has no effect on what decision they make when a problem sits right in their lap. The decisions that individuals make in the heat of the moment make them who they truly are. The movie Crash has many different forms of racism and classism from just talking with friends to making an assumption of someone based on looks or appearance, and also using power and authority for protection or personal gain. But, Crash reminds people that it is ultimately how individuals react when put in these situations that will affect the outcome of the life they

The former chapter was about individual models which make Travis Bickle and his loneliness, but this chapter is about the society which alienated him. Taxi Driver was released in 1976, and behind it, there is the social background of the United States from 1960s to 1970s.

There is no denying that the film, Aftershock, directed by Feng Xiaogang is the most bankable domestic blockbusters in mainland China and wins the box office of more than six hundred million in 2010 (Coonan, 2010). It reproduces the grave earthquake took place in Tangshan, Hebei Province on July 28, 1976. Such a 7.8 magnitude earthquake turned Tangshan into ruins in only twenty-three seconds and caused 250 thousands death. The successful release of the film has caused the high attention and intense discussion among the community until nowadays. As an excellent work of contemporary Chinese realism film, it moves audiences through its setting, expression, characters and also the touching plot.

Just over ten years ago, Cloverfield was released to the public. The movie starts off as a group friends prepare for a going away party. During the party, New York City begins to start having mysterious earthquakes and power outages. The entire movie follows the group of friends as they try to get to their friend stuck in her apartment building, and then getting out of the city while trying to avoid whatever is terrorising the city. 10 years later, The Cloverfield Paradox was released. This movie is meant to be the prequel to Cloverfield and sets up how the entire incident in New York happened. Within the movie we see that a group of scientists from around the world board a spacecraft and head to space. There, they try and figure out how create a sufficient unlimited power source to save the Earth from power depletion. In order to create this power source, the scientists fire up this machine that accidentally create this portals to other dimensions, and as a result, the monster in Cloverfield is able to transport onto the Earth and wreak havoc on New York City. Although these movies are connected in their storyline, they also have many differences. These differences can be spotted by the way the movie is shot, the actors, and the conflict.

The plot of Crash comprises of a progression of between related vignettes about individuals of arranged ethnicities and financial gatherings who come into contact with each other regularly roughly over a 40 hours period. In the film the cooperation of the characters causes viewers to question generalizations while in the meantime recognizing the grain of truth they contain. Since the vignettes are all related, with characters in one returning in another, viewer has the capacity to see different sides of a character: a character indicated conferring a supremacist demonstration in one scene is portrayed in a demonstration of generosity in another. This structure focuses on the interrelationship of human-creatures and underscores the complexities

The movie that I have chosen to analyze is the 2004 film Crash. This film emphasizes the intertwining cultures of today 's society and the conflicts faced from class, culture, stereotypes and racism. The explicit content of this film is to teach the audience that one person 's choices has an impact on another person or multiple people and to persuade the audience that we as a society need to change how we treat each other. The films overt message does generate social dialogue, however, this film can be interpreted by the audience through their own beliefs and behaviors causing some misinterpretation. In Crash, ideology is screaming that the audience needs to open their eyes to the harsh reality of today 's challenges and make a change.

In the movie crash your going to follow some different kind of people within’ the stereotypes of their ethnicity. And all the characters are in some way connected to each other in some way.

The Help is an example of American drama film. It was released in August 9, 2011 and its length was 146 minutes and directed by Tate Taylor. The film was adapted to a novel, where there has been a long tradition of African- American women serving as “The Help” for upper-middle class white woman and their families. Descriptions of historical events of the early activities of thecivil rights movement are peppered throughout the novel, as are interactions between the maids and their white employers. The movie clearly exposes the many ways that the human dignity of African- American maids was ignored. They had suffered daily embarrassment but were able to claim their own way dignity.
