Crash

The film “Crash” has a very ironic title. Due to it’s multicultural topic, it shows how different cultures and different societies come together and live in one general society. It can be said that they do not know whether or not the cultures “clash” or “crash” with each other. Each race is being exploited in a way that has a negative connotation. However, in the end they all come together for a common cause or moral lesson.

The film “Crash” demonstrates the barriers that interracial relationships between friends and lovers. Every character has at some point throughout the movie have experienced some type of racial stereotype and they have themselves stereotyped another race. For example, when it came to the two African American males who stole a car, they assumed that everyone who came their way was stereotyping them due to their race; for example, the Caucasian female who held onto her purse tightly as they walked by or the service they didn’t receive at the coffee shop. Or the instance where the Caucasian police officer pulled over the African American couple, driving an Escalade. However, even though they all experienced some type of discrimination, at the end of the movie one realizes that interracial relationships amongst individuals is an essential for society.

“Crash” also depicts all races as somewhat civil as the movie progresses. It shows that all people can be humanitarians and care for others regardless of race. At the end of the day we are all human beings and must care for one another. This is quite ironic because during the film, we see that the characters are all very critical of each other but they all turn out to have good morals and humanitarian beliefs.
