I didn't find the racial message in this movie to be much of a revelation. But, it was a really good movie with mostly good actors. The plot revolving around Terrance Howard's and Thandie Newton's characters wasn't very good or even coherent at times. But, the last scene with Michael Pena was incredible; both the setup and the execution of it. He is a good actor.

Paul Haggis does more than entertain us; he has created an indescribably breathtaking and morally profound masterpiece for the ages.

I loved this movie. Great cast, great characters. I love how it all intersected into one drama and we get to see the character's vulnerabilities. Great movie!

One of those movies that are truly worth the Oscar for Best Picture of the year. It is not common to find a film that can engulf you that much, make you care and suffer for the fate of the characters, and which touches your feelings. Nearly perfect in every way, it incorporates excellent play by characters, effective directing, and an excellent screen play. A film that, without doubt, will become a classic.

One of my favourite movies of all-time! The fact that it raised awareness and brought to life so many social and racial issues was great, but this wasn't the main reason I love it so much. I loved this movie because it accomplished the great feat of making me genuinely care about each and every one of the characters (except Sandra Bullock haha), even though many of them only had a couple of scenes in the movie. The sequence of events was great and, unlike a few unintelligent folks have suggested, it was NOT AT ALL contrived. Overall, a fantastic movie and well deserving of it's oscar for best picture!

Crash is one of the most intense movies I have seen in awhile. A bit like "6 degrees of separation"... Lives of different people meld together and anre intertwined during a 24 hour period in LA. Intense, brooding, disturbing, uplifting... Your emotions will go on a roller coaster ride. A must see film.

This movie is amazing. It doesn't surprise me at all that a Canadian directed this film because it seems to portray events that many face, especially those living in a multi-cultural society. The film makes you realise that everyone has their prejudices against each other but at the same time everyone can prove to be a blessing to others, regardless of race. If you like movies that make you contemplate your surroundings and films that touch home, this is definitely a movie to go watch.

At first it seems very base with all the raw language and bad behavior. Then its genius is known when the meaning of Crash is revealed.'People are so isolated they have to crash into each other just to know they are alive. The theme harkens back to the classic Cain and Abel story, a Bibical lesson in brotherly love whereby God asks Abel "Where is your brother? " and Abel replies angrily, "Am I my brother's keeper? " The moral behind both the story and the movie is that when you find a world where no one takes reponsibility for how others are treated, it is a hard, cruel world indeed. Hence, Crash is a mirror to us all: how not to have the kind of world no one wants.

Get ready to see every conceivable stereotype in North America all over again!! It is truly a sad portrayal of "life in the big city" with all the dialogue worthy of a Jerry Springers show. Some scenes are emotionally charged. This is the Hollywood version of "Amores Perros" (2000) by the Mexican Director Alejandro González Iñárritu. The Mexican movie is much better and well presented!

A classic story of the human condition. You see yourself in every character as he exhibits "good" and sometimes "bad" qualities. It shows that every human emotion comes in a variety of colours and situations. I've seen the movie twice and was fully engaged both times.

I went to see this movie last night. I knew nothing about it, except that it won the award for best movie and that it was about racism. It was excellent. I was very impressed that a movie that dealt with a difficult topic like racism won the award.

Good movie, definitely tugs at the heart strings, but also oversimplifies the issues. Racism is usually a lot more subtle in our society than the blatant racism and hypocrisy in Crash. Still a very good movie that anyone would enjoy.

Excellent, MUST-SEE Movie!! Superior cast, Matt Dillon Portraying a "racist" cop, excellent work! This movie centers itself around a very deep subject for a lot of people. RACISM... it's around us all the time and it's REAL. It effects all of us, and this movie sends out the message that it's NOT O. K. We are all human beings, and we should unite! This movie is good for teenagers that feed into peer pressure. It's a very powerful movie!!

Though Crash is indeed an interesting movie, one fails to understand why and how such a film could habe been judged by the members of the Academy as the very best film of the year. Its simply incomprehensible. It tells a lot about the intellectual level of the Academy Members.

This movie enters your personal space and makes you think about your own actions, thoughts, and beliefs regarding racism and stereotypes. It is in your face asking you to look at yourself through the characters presented on screen.

The film is surprising and very hard to view. It will leave an impact any intelligent viewer. I would not be surprised to see this brilliant masterpiece walk away with several nominations including BEST FILM at this year's Academy Awards. The film reveals how an American multi-ethnic society is destined to crash and clash due to bigoted preconceptions promoted by the BUSH REGIME in the post-9/11 "RULE VIA FEAR" era. The acting from all the cast members is accurate. Even Sandra Bullock boldly broke away from her familiar screen persona to become a serious actress. The script is a social crash in the making. ARABS, ORIENTAL, AFRICAN-AMERICAN, ANGLO SAXON, RICH, POOR realisticly clash together. This is one of the best films of 2005..

It amazes me that so many people rated this movie so highly. Rather than being complex and subtle, I found it rather formulaic and manipulative. In some ways, it reminded me of a dark moralistic version of The Love Boat. What was worse was the formulaic way they alternated between showing characters as prejudiced and despicable, then reversing the situation to reveal their core of human decency. That's a fine moral message, but I got it in the first few minutes. I didn't need 2 hours of the same message over and over again. Very formulaic.

So not what I was expecting but just simply amasing. Truly shows humans' sociological innerworkings and as a sociologist, I found this movie has such depth and complexity.

I barely made it through this movie it moved so slow... boring. Also, it had zero entertainment value with the generous helpings of despair spread throughout the entire film. Give me a break... who needs to see movies like this... the world is a sad enough place. How about something a little more uplifitng. Garbage... two hours of my time wasted.
