Crash.
I felt like every character was basically reduced to some neat category in the framework of liberal identity politics, and this is true even when they supposedly break out of their predetermined role. I feel like this is pretty much how white liberals (especially those in the media) see the US. Not as unique human beings with their own material interests and overlapping struggles, but as fitting into certain clearly defined social categories to be marketed to, or co-opted for political gain.
Crash is by far the movie that I hate the most. It's so fucking juvenile and insulting.
I hated it on the theater. I kept thinking the movie was so racist, but apparently that's the point? I think it achieved the goal of being racist but not of being art or good.
You're watching the wrong Crash, watch the 1996 Cronenberg one instead.
