forsythSo in my Speech class, we just finished watching Crash.
It's a very good movie. It's well written, well acted, well filmed. And I think I may need to watch it a second time to get everything. But I don't think I'd watch it more than twice. It's not a fun movie. And in a lot of ways, it's depressing. Maybe it's more "realistic" that way, but there's only maybe two characters that don't get a chance to be total assholes at least once. It's unsettling, and the whole movie long I kept wanting to smack some of them upside the head.
I don't know. There's a lot to it, and I still need to finish digesting it. But at the end of the movie, almost nobody's better off when they started. But not because of any big evil, just because of things happening. And it's not written so much as a story, because most things aren't really resolved at the end. Things keep happening, which I guess is one of the points. Life doesn't have pat endings where all the threads are tied up and such.
But stories work better that way.
