I really don't think I wanna watch the Oscars again. Crash?? Crash???? What planet is the academy on? I couldn't believe it was even nominated.

You know what? It was just that that allowed me to identify with every single character in one way or another though, and if the characters were fleshed out too much, you'd lose that possibility.

I know that I didn't like to identify with Sandra Bullock's character, especially with the outburst over the changing of the locks, but then when she hurt herself and needed friends and couldn't find anyone ... wow, yeah, I felt that. But I already decided that she was a horrid person, yet I felt compassion for her and I didn't like it. I was then willing to reconsider my reaction to her because we were able to see into her life a bit and maybe figure out WHY she reacted the way she did ... and was she justified in all her fear?

Perhaps the biggest accomplishment with Crash though is that it really opened up dialogue on a touchy subject.

Well, the problem is nobody in that movie was a "person"...they were all barely sketched-in sterotypes.

That's exactly what my problem was with Crash. No one was well drawn out. The actors did the best with the script they were given.
