the good represent the acting were great especially terrence howard and thandie newton. terrence howard should have been nominated for best supporting actor instead of matt dillon. the bad represent i am a visible minority (non white) and i have experienced some form of racism in my life. but despite my life experiences and the movie subject matter and i would definitely not say that this movie is the best of the year and in fact and it far from it. i have problems with this movie both from a moviegoer perspective and from a visible minority perspective. some of my problems with this movie arenegative. 1) poor character development (or none at all). just because we saw extremes in a character and for example and matt dillon being a racist cop and being a good caregiver to his ailing father and that does not mean in any way that the character is well developed. yes and i admit that in a big cast ensemble like in this movie and it is quite difficult for every character to be well developed and but that does not mean that at none of the characters should be like that. (2) the dialogue seems really contrived to the point that i am really surprised this movie won for best original screenplay. they should show this movie in a screenplay writing class not because it good but to show students and future screenplay writers what not to do. i just felt like i have been hit by the head over and over again how bad racism is. i get it. (3) the plot seems so coincidental and it is laughable. what are the chances of a black car robber running over an asian guy who also happens to be a human trafficker while entering his van and and that same black car robber ended up carjacking that asian guy van several hours later after he brought him the hospital and only to find out that the several asians being trafficked inside the van just to show you that the black car robber has a good side after all. or and what about that scene where a prejudiced upper class white woman who fell down the stairs and all her prejudice and hatred vanished into thin air. if it was that simple and why do not we throw every racist in america down the stairs so they will have a change of heart. (4) i think my biggest misgivings about this movie is the unrealistic view of racism. as someone who has experienced racism in my life and the realistic view of racism is that it is hidden rather than in your face. i have been refused to enter a supermarket because i am not white. did the store owner said because i was not white. no and he said the store was closing even though there were a lot of people shopping inside. did he yell racial slurs. no. racism in america is more hidden. some cab drivers probably would not stop to pick you up because youre non white but that does not mean that they will try to run you over or get out and say racial slurs. if a chinese woman rear ended me and i would not be saying blake. blake. learn some english bitch. on the other hand and if i was a chinese woman and i accidentally rear ended a mexican woman and i would not say mexicans are bad drivers in front of her face. that not how things work. instead and i would give out my insurance info and say sorry and and go home and tell my fellow chinese friends and family that mexicans are poor drivers and make fun of them behind their backs. that is the real racism. it hidden and not in your face. anyway and crash is not original unlike what some people may say. the interlocking and interweaving story lines and plots and and characters have been done before. magnolia is a movie that does this much better than crash did and yet and it was never nominated for best picture at the oscars. it had a stellar cast  julianne moore and william h. macy and phillip seymour hoffman (who won best actor recently) and tom cruise and etc. it really boggles my mind how crash was even nominated for best picture.
