Reflection On The Movie Crash

Reflecting on Crash
7 I believe that this movie was very useful to raise awareness and encourage social justice. This movie allows viewers to be engaged, informed, and motivated. High school students and adults can easily relate and learn from the injustices the characters face because of the variety of ethnicities used throughout the movie. The movie shows critical issues which include prejudice, racism, stereotypes, discrimination, inequality. All these issues effect members of society on a day to day basis and is critical that as civilians, we reflect upon these issues. One example of racism and prejudice in the movie was when the Persian man went into the shop to purchase a gun. The store attendant made multiple racist comments which included, calling him Osama, blaming the Persian man for the nine- eleven attack and claiming that all middle eastern people are terrorists. This shows that the store owner had negative judgements about the Persian family. Another example is when the Persian man made an incorrect assumption that the Mexican man who came in to fix their lock was going to rip them off. The Persian man was a victim of racism and should not believe in stereotypes that society creates. This example clearly demonstrates stereotypes by believing that all Mexicans rip people off. This film depicts the society we live in and create awareness for us individuals so see these examples and learn from them so that we can live in a world where everyone is treated equally,

    It is when one thinks that his or her race is higher up or superior then someone else’s and attacks that other race. Whether it be verbally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, or mentally. The racism in the movie is quite clearly seen. One example is when the two white officers pull the car over with the black couple inside of it. Even though both officers know this is not the car they were looking for they still go out and question them.

    For example, sanitation workers had to carry bags of garbage that had holes in them and since they were paid low wages, they ended up poor on welfare. Not only was this film was a way of seeing another turning point during the civil rights movement but also, African Americans fighting for justice. Even though I was not born during that time, I can understand how they felt because it wasn’t that easy. In today’s society racism isn’t as bad as what it was during that time. Besides we still have times were we face racism in our lives so I would say in some areas racism is still a

    He is constantly being looked down at for issue of the 9/11 terror attack. Here we witness an immigrant and his family trying to start a new life in a new country but are being neglected from becoming a part of the society because of these stereotypes. When these characters collide with one another, it’s very unpredictable how they will react. We understand whether they choose to believe in the stereotypes that are based on that certain group or completely erase that from their memory and focus on their actions. Crash teaches us about whether we should be judging one another based on their actions or choose to conform in these racial

    Formal Analysis of the movie, "Passengers" (2016) It’s a bit of a shame that the new Jennifer Lawrence / Chris Pratt movie Passengers got so slammed by critics. It’s not that I disagree with the consensus take on it, but I didn’t see as much engagement with what the movie was saying prior to the collapse at the end as I might have liked. It is indeed true that the movie instill a feeling of “being lost”. The end is a huge mess that undermines the rest of what has happened to that point, but through the first and second acts, it’s a pretty interesting movie with some provocative and intense ideas.

    The film, Crash, emphasizes the differences of cultures and classes. It focuses on the reality that we are all individuals and that adaptation of the human condition is hopeless. That the need to compete and the desire to win are more important than the justification for human decency. The tension of social and racial tension throughout this film I believe widens the chasm of discussion. I believe this because this film can be interpreted differently by individuals.
