CRASH

Adam and I saw Crash this weekend. (Academy Award Winner for best pictures) It was out in theaters in the spring but one of the theaters in Des Moines is showing a bunch of the academy nominated films. Anyway, we missed it the first time it was out. It was amazing. I don't know if it just hit me at a time when I was especially sensitive to its messages about race relations and family ties, but I highly recommend it. I thought it gave an excellent and acurrate portrayal of so many of the stereotypes and labels we have for people who seem different from us. but is also showed how important family is. From a daddy's desire to keep his little girl safe to children's commitment to their parents as they grow older. This is a movie I'll definitley want to see again.

The opening line sums up the whole movie. "It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

Has anyone else seen it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
