撞车Crash电影英文评论

Crash(撞车)The movie “Crash”mainly tells us several stories occurred in Los Angeles among some leading roles participating in an car crash about the topic of racial discrimination. (1主题)It is a film linked with the backgrounds of the Los Angeles’s culture closely. As is known to all, Los Angeles is covered with immigrants from various countries. Different cultures bump into each other and this may make big influence on our daily life. (2电影的文化背景)So in this movie, we can see that it seems that there are no links among the leading roles but in fact, they can make impacts on each other accidentally but profoundly(深刻地). There are many conflicts between the black and the white, or even the Asian people. The next, I will introduce this movie from three main relationship lines.(3简要介绍)Now let’s begin from the couple of district attorney[ə'tɝni](地方检察官).Before the white couple went back home, they had a gun in their faces by two black young guys and their car was robbed. After back home, the wife could not bear that a Mexican man who is black was fixing their lock and required all the locks changed. What’s more, she thought ridiculously that the man would sell their key to one of his gangbanger friends(罪犯朋友). Whereas her husband tried his best to respect the black in order to get support for his vote from the color, so he got angry about his wife’s attitude. Several hours later, when the wife fell down from steps, only her maid(女仆)came to help her. The maid is also of color like the Mexican man. What an absurd(荒谬的)story! Now let’s talk about the Mexican man’s following story. The Mexican man fixed the lock of a Chilean (智利的)man’s shop, and pointed out that the wrong part was the door, but the Chilean man thought he cheated him for money, so he refused to pay for that. The second day, the shop was robbed.The owner thought it was the Mexican man that had done it , so he found him and shot at him. At the same time ,the Mexican man’s daughter hugged her father but nowhere got hurtəsli](奇迹般地).Then, we will talk about another typical plot which is about two white cops,A and B. The white cop A’s father got a kind of bad disease and could not sleep, but the black woman officer of HMO (Health Maintenance Organization)did not treat his father as emergency and talked to the white cop A in an unfriendly voice. After some time, the black officer still did not flick her pen to solve the cop A’s father’s problem. S o the white cop A vented (发泄)his irritation(愤怒)to the black director’s wife whose behavior might cause an accident. But the director just watched without doing anything. The wife could not understand her husband’s no care about her, and the husband thought his wife could not understand him and also she threatened his honor as a man. At the same time, the white cop B got angry about the cop A’s behaviors and even required to change the partner. However, the other day, the cop A saved the wife in an accident and the cop B saved the director in a car robbery by one of that two black young guys who had robbed the district attorney . At night, the cop B encountered(偶遇)the other black young guy and picked him up,but the cop B shot at him due to the misunderstanding. It’s a pity!The last one relationship line, let’s talk about love which was between the son and the mother, the two brothers and between the father and the daughter. In this movie, we could see Graham’s mother was always waiting for the coming back of her little son ------Graham’s brotherwho was just the killed black young guy .Graham was a black police officer, and we could notice that Graham wanted to save his brother regardless of his principles. Of course, we might shed(流出)tears when the little girl hugged his father to protect him from the gun with the love-covered cape. Though the mother did not wait back his little son who was shot by the cop B in the end and the story about the love--covered cape was a beautiful lie, it still made us feel warm because of the love.But why the white couple were chosen to be robbed? The wife’s reaction was blind fear when she saw the two black young guys. This “natural” reaction made them feel hurt, so they revenged. And this experience enhanced(加深)the wife’s hatred (憎恨)of the black apparently so she worried about his home robbed once again. Of course, all of these we re the white woman’s silly imaginations which we can directly call it prejudice or discrimination. New question may be put forward. Why did not the little girl get hurt? Because the bullets the Chilean man( 智利男人)used were blank cartridges(空包弹)which his daughter had chosen for him especially to avoid possible terrible consequences caused by his impulsion(冲动).The two daughters were all angels to the two fathers. Maybe the Chilean man just wanted to put his emotion out, but if done, the end would be terrible and painful.Why was the director so timid (胆小的)when he saw his wife molested(被骚扰)? Just because he could not let his name in the paper which may ruin his career and he would be laughed at by his colleagues as he is black.The gap[ɡæp]between the black and the white has not disappeared with the abolishment ofthe slavery. They misunderstand each other when they first meet owing to the fear to the unknown or unfamiliar things and the sense of pride to themselves. With the integration (交融)of their culture, maybe they could get along very well, but it needs time and getting more touch with each other.Crash tells us some ordinary people’s stories. In this movie, many plots connote[kə'not](影射) racial discrimination. However, the racial discrimination not only happens between the white and the black but also exists in other people of color like Mexicans, Chinese, Arabians[ə'reɪbɪən]and so on. The white try their best to play the role of respecting the people of color, but in their heart, they discriminate against the people of color. The black suffer the discrimination from the white while they look down upon other people of color. The stories are all in crash. All the stories are contacting each other . One story may be the cause of another story,and another story may be the third story’s cause and so on. The director Paul Haggis did not describe these plots with theeducation tone,but every plot is thought provoking[prə'vokɪŋ](引人深思的). America is aparadise because it is the unique place where people are born equal and have rights. Unfortunately, the fact is not as people expect. W hat’s more, discrimination is almost common. This movie reflects this phenomenon.Actually, crash never stops and discrimination still exists too. But as a member on the earth,we are the same. Everyone should try to forgive others and admonish(提醒)ourselves toavoid making prejudices. Love can reduce this kind of discrimination and make society more harmonious no matter in America or in other countries.。

Comments on CrashThe movie Crash shows us the interpersonal conflict and cultural crash by several stories interweaving in Los Angeles. The sociologists believe that crash is inevitable in our society, let alone a city with different kinds of people . Although American dream is always appreciated, there is no denying that racial discrimination in American country is so serious. With the misunderstanding between people, they fight for the interests and positions in the society. Crash in this movie has more than one meaning, it’s not just a collision involving cars. It also represents a contradiction between people from different culture background.Crash means contradiction and fighting. But in meanwhile, one of the sociologists suggests that crash may also have a positive impact. In the movie, the conflict does represent the human nature and sincere. You think you know who you are. You have no idea :A veteran police humiliates a woman but he saves her life bravely in the traffic accident. A woman who distrusts her colored steward finds the warmth and friendship finally etc. Some stories are end with hope and love but some not. Because in the diverse society, people are forced to change him inside even he doesn’t know at all.The most important feature of this movie is the method by several clues interweaving at the same time. They come together and make the story more true and vivid.As a dark comedy, this movie emphasizes the color and music, for example, the crash seems more fiercely with a low and deep music and dark pictures. On the contrary, the beautiful sunset and warm music are shown after the woman is rescued.In a word, this movie conveys many deep thoughts and deserves 3 Oscars so much.。

英语影评——撞车(crash)

院系专业:化学化工与材料科学学院化学系年级:09 学号:200901010101 姓名:金晨Set in modern day Los Angeles, the Oscar-winning movie Crash attempts to unabashedly expose racial prejudice in this country through the depiction of numerous characters of different cultural backgrounds whose lives intertwine in multiple crisis situations. The large, impressive cast includes the following characters: two young, black male criminals, a Latino locksmith and his young daughter, an Iranian convenience store owner and his grown doctor-daughter, two white, male police officers, a black health insurance employee, a black detective and a Hispanic detective, a successful, black Hollywood director and his black wife, a middle-aged Korean couple, and a white district attorney and his white wife. Simply by reading this list it is clear to see that Crash takes on the problematic job of representing so many ethnic groups for a mere 1 hour and 47 minutes, which makes me wonder if the movie actually perpetuates stereotypes or if it challenges them. What Crash does successfully do is rouse viewers’ emotions, to the point that they feel the need to squirm uncomfortably in their seats. That in itself makes me give Crash an overall positive rating. Racial issues are complex and emotional, and bringing these issues to the forefront is (almost) always positive. While some parts of Crash seem far-fetched and are less realized, other plotlines, which left me breathless and near tears, are more successful and could probably stand alone as their own stories. Knowing that there is no possible way to acknowledge all the complexities of this movie, this review will attempt to address the most powerful, effective scenes and the messages they provide.The movie’s opening scene depicts the aftermath of a bad car accident, and this becomes a metaphor for the basic message flowing through the film. Crash suggests that we actually need each other: like car accidents, we “crash into each other just to touch each other,” states Don Cheadle’s character, a detective. But like the word “crash” suggests, the interfaces between the characters in Crash are far from loving, and infected with fear. In fact, the characters of the movie seem mostly isolated and unable to connect even with those who have the most in common with them. No one is guiltless; we are all victims and offenders of cultural bias. Yet we desire the contact of others. The movie suggests that we don’t know how to reach out to others in a healthy way.Not only do we fail to understand those around us, but another major theme of Crash is how much we lack individual self-awareness. Matt Dillon’s police officer character makes this bleak statement to a rookie cop: “Think you know who you are? You don’t have a clue.” His character is certainly one of the most intriguing in the film. He begins the story as one of the most despicable movie characters I have seen in a while; he abuses his power as a policeman and pulls over a married, black couple. He proceeds to grope the wife against the car, while seemingly taunting her husband. It is excruciating to watch, but it is this same awful man, who, later in a heart-wrenching scene, puts his own life in danger and rescues this same woman from a burning car. Perhaps it is a temporary change from bigot to savior, and he is likely surprised by what he is capable of doing for another human being. Still, for a moment of his life he is a hero. The only constant in the characters’ personalities in Crash is that they areinconsistent, and no character seems to know who he or she will be in times of tension and emotional distress. Perhaps one of the most interesting messages in the movie is the thought that in order to know ourselves, we must try to connect with those around us. We must see that we are basically the same. Otherwise, we remain lonely and ignorant as a society.The Iranian character in Crash also plays an important role in the film, one that raises many questions. Ultimately, at the end of the movie, he may be the easiest to dislike. He does evoke empathy as he faces discrimination by a gun store owner, who compares him to terrorists and calls him a “rag head,” even though he points out that he is Persian, not Arab. His frustration over not being able to adequately communicate in English also exposes the difficulties of his life in America. Of all the characters in Crash, it is most obvious that he immigrated to America and cannot successfully acculturate, and he appears completely emasculated. He reacts to tense situations (i.e. his convenience store is robbed) with so much palpable agitation and fear that a viewer can easily predict he will do something erratic and terrible. Indeed he does, by taking an “eye-for-an-eye” approach to punish t he kind and misunderstood Mexican American locksmith who he blames unfairly for the store’s robbery.The Iranian character goes so far as to dig up the locksmith’s information out of the trash, go to his house, and attempt to shoot him in his front yard, which requires forethought and planning. In the midst of this would-be murder scene, the viewer is led to believe that the locksmith’s innocent daughter will take the bullet instead. Fortunately this does not happen, as, unbeknownst to the Persian man, the gun is loaded with blanks. This is thanks to his grown daughter, who predicted that he had the capability of doing something dreadful with the gun.Out of all the irrational behavior depicted in Crash, the damage this character creates seems the worst. Although he calls the locksmith’s little girl an “angel” who saved him from doing something terrible, there appears to be few repercussions or lessons learned from his behavior. In my view, nothing spiritual occurred to keep him from killing the locksmith or the locksmith’s little girl; instead, the Iranian man’s daughter had had the wherewithal to fill the gun with blanks. It seems like he takes no personal responsibility for his actions, and is still overwhelmed with uncertainty. In the post 9-11 world, all of this is certainly intriguing to me. Is it possible that there is a more blatant bias from the creators of Crash when it comes to portraying someone of Middle Eastern heritage? I suppose one might argue that the Persian man’s grown, rational doctor-daughter is a character that allows for some balance in the portrayal of those of Middle Eastern descent; additionally, she also illustrates the potential divergence from one older generation to the next, but unfortunately her appealing character is not emphasized in the movie.Like the Persian man, Sandra Bullock’s character in Crash also turns her fear and feelings of powerlessness into anger – emotions that are so closely linked – and she finds herself utterly isolated. Her character is the wealthy wife of a district attorney, and she seems to have everything she could want. However, she acknowledges that every morning she wakes up full of rage, and does not know why. Early in the movie she is walking with her husband to their car at night and she sees two young black men and feels nervous. Her anxiety turns out to bewell-founded as the black men put a gun to her head and car jack the couple’s SUV. The scene turns the idiom that “you can’t judge a book by its cover” upside down, because the two men fit a negative stereotype, thus reinforcing the prejudices of Bullock’s character. (Interestingly, she most likely fits the two black thieves’ negative stereotype of who she is.) In the end, Bullock’s character comes to the realization that her “best friend” is actually her Hispanic maid. She has been rude to this maid, and realistically is paying the maid to take care of her, so clearly this is not a true, balanced friendship. Yet the only one to comfort Bullock’s character when she is bedridden with a broken a nkle is this unlikely maid. Bullock’s humbled character grasps the confused maid in an embrace, forcing herself to push aside her superior attitude. We need each other, Crash suggests once again.But is there hope for us as a society? No one is innocent of cultural prejudice. This a belief reiterated numerous times throughout Crash, sometimes dramatically and sometimes humorously, and almost always laced with irony. The question is: how do we work through our biases and simply get along? If the travel saint in Crash is a metaphor for the journey in life that we all take toward self-understanding, then some of us are certainly at different places along this path, but with effort are moving forward. Sadly, some of us may remain stuck, figuratively ramming our heads against walls as we are forced to interact with others who are different than we are.I believe that Crash may offer a bleak view of racial relations in our country; however, some of the last scenes show snow falling in Los Angeles, which is certainly an unusual sight. Perhaps this is intended to show some sort of cleansing, or hope, yet there is also the image of fire as a car is engulfed in flames. In our society something will always continue to burn. The illegal Thai immigrants dropped off in the middle of Chinatown at the end of Crash represent how the cycle will start once again; they will have the challenging job of acculturating into our society and others will take out their fear and anger on them. Yet this country has so many valuable things to offer to each one of us, even when it is so difficult to look beyond our differences.Crash successfully forces viewers to address their own cultural backgrounds and their experiences with those of other races. Doing this is imperative if we are to reach a peaceful existence with each other in our melting pot of a country, yet it is too easy to succumb to fear and avoid analyzing how we subsist within our world and how we relate to others. After all, when it comes to racial equality, ignorance is not bliss; it hurts all of us. Especially within a city like Los Angeles, we never know when the truth will crash into us and we will be forced to face who we are through the eyes of others, at least superficially, no matter how difficult it is to take a raw look inside and outside of ourselves.。

《crash撞车》英语影评、观后感

My View of CRASHA great film, and here are some pieces of my thought.First, racial discrimination is involved in this film. People are rated by color or their race. Some of the white are always high up in the air in a mixed and open big city such Los Angeles just like Anthony, the black burglar, once said. Yeah, this is the fact that no one can deny. But what makes this dramatic is the different idea between Anthony and the other burglar, little brother of an black detective, who doesn’t think they are treated differently. In my opinion, in order to eliminate prejudice to black people, not only white people but also the black themselves should change their attitude. Anthony didn’t agree with that so he saw race discrimination everywhere, which left him in great shadow and push him to rob the “wicked” white people. But after he saw a white policeman help a black director out of trouble, he changed his mind. He got on a bus that he would never take before and found that the white and the black could sit together peacefully. He found that the world full of sunshine and he even liberated the trafficked people. Sometimes inequality comes from outside. Sometimes it is born of our mind. This idea is not about only Anthony or racial discrimination, but is also appropriate for everyone in every situation.Secondly, the film tells us that there is only a thin line between sheep and goat. And there is no absolute good or bad person. Officer Ryan seemed to be a jerk, but the jerk helped a woman out of death. Tommy is upright, but he killed an innocent young man by accident. In addition, don’t make decisions when in bad mood. The mad Miss Jean blamed her housekeeper only to find she was the only friend whom she could rely on. The mad policeman fired on his passenger only t o find that there’s no gun in his hand. The mad Persian store owner fired on a little girl only to find he almost created a tragedy. Lara Elizabeth, the young girl in the cloak of love, is really an angel.The ending of the film is partly satisfactory and partly tragic, touching me deeply. The young girl survived while the black kid is found dead. Maybe real life is a tragicomedy just like the movie. All we can do is to believe in love and bravery, and believe that every person has a good nature.。

crash英文影评

一:Crash" is an ensemble film with several intersecting stories, all of them about people who can't quite seem to understand how things turned out the way they did or how they themselves turned out the way they did. Most of them find out, in the course of the movie, that they are capable of more -- or less -- than they thought they were.Paul Haggis, the screenwriter for Million Dollar Baby has co-written and directed a devastating movie about people who are very much like us, with one important difference. It's as though the drinking water in Los Angeles has been spiked with some mild de-inhibitor that makes people say what they are thinking. In this film, everyone says the most horrifyingly virulent things to everyone else: family members, people in business, employees, and strangers, reflecting a range of prejudice on the basis of class, gender, and, above all, race.These comments are sometimes made angrily, sometimes carelessly or thoughtlessly, but often, and more unsettlingly, matter-of-factly. As vicious as the insults are, the part that hurts the most is that people don't care enough, don't pay attention closely enough, to know the people they are insulting. "When did Persians become Arab?" asks an Iranian, who cannot understand how people can hate him without taking the time to know who he is. A Hispanic woman explains to a man she is sleeping with that she is not Mexican. Her parents are from El Salvador and Puerto Rico. He tells her that it doesn't matter because they all leave cars on their lawns anyway.The movie is intricately constructed, going back and forth between the characters and back and forth in time. We get a glimpses of moments that create a mosaic in which we see the pattern before the characters do. The movie has big shocks but it also has small glimpses and moments of great subtlety. A black woman looks at her white boss while he talks to his wife on a cell phone and we can tell there is more to their relationship than we have seen. The daughter of immigrants we have only seen in one context shows up in another and we see that her professional life is very different from what we might have imagined, reminding us that racism may be inextricably intertwined with America, but so is opportunity.Like Altman's classic Short Cuts, and Anderson's Magnolia, Crash, by writer/director Paul Haggis weaves a tale of multiple characters through the web of streets we have come to know as Los Angeles. Unlike those other two films this one has a very specific theme to explore. From the opening line uttered by Don Cheadle we know this is to be a film about how people relate, and from the interchange that follows between Jennifer Esposito and Alexis Rhee (pretty sure she plays the Korean female driver who rear-ended her) how people relate tends to be ruled by first impressions or prejudice.Race is paramount in this film, and all our preconceptions of who people are get twisted and turned through the intricate plot. With each new additional character we find another assumption, another stereotype, and then watch as that preconception is obliterated as the character develops. It is a credit to the deftly written script, tight direction and exceptional acting talent that every one of these many characters is fully realized on screen without ever feeling one-dimensional.I would love to discuss some of the details of what happens to explain how well it is done, but part of the magic of this film is allowing yourself to be taken on this ride. Mind you, this isn't a ride of pleasure. The first half of this film is unrelentingly in its ferociousness. I could literally feel my rage at some of the characters forming to a fever pitch. The fear and hatred I was confronting wasn't just on the screen, but in the pit of my stomach. And in one absolutely brilliant moment I was literally sobbing at the expectation of horror unfolding, only to be cathartically released in a most unexpected way.Mr. Haggis was in attendance at the screening I saw and explained that the idea for this film came to him one night sometime after 9/11 at about 2a.m. when his own memories of a car- jacking experience from 10 years before wouldn't leave him alone. Clearly this film was his way of relieving those demons of memory, using the catharsis of his art to unleash them and in doing so has given to all viewers of cinema an opportunity to examine our own preconceptions about race relations and how we treat each other and think of ourselves. He mentioned in the discussion after-wards that he likes to make films that force people to confront difficult issues. Films that ask people to think after the film has ended and not just leave saying: "that was a nice film".This isn't a "nice" film, and I would expect that it will provoke many a discussion in the ensuing weeks when it opens nation-wide. It's a discussion long overdue for this country, and it took a Canadian to bring the issue to the fore in this brilliant, thought provoking film.三:Ensemble features can be daunting, yet some filmmakers embrace the challenge, and their results reward an audience. A lot of characters are woven into the tapestry of Crash, the feature directing debut of TV veteran Paul Haggis. (Haggis was also Oscar nominated for writing the screenplay of Million Dollar Baby.) The story unfolds in Los Angeles, where hostility is often a barrier to intimacy, and hatred and fear cloud judgment. Don Cheadle plays Graham Waters, a police detective investigating what may be a racially-motivated killing. Graham is having an affair with his Latina partner (Jennifer Esposito), whom he variously refers to as "a white woman" and "Mexican," neither of which is accurate. Matt Dillon is LAPD officer Jack Ryan, a 17 year veteran of the force whose actions often cross the line. When he fondles a woman (Thandie Newton) during a routine traffic stop, his partner (Ryan Phillippe) wants to sever their professional relationship. Meanwhile, the D.A., Rick Cameron (Brendan Fraser), and his wife, Jean (Sandra Bullock), become crime victims when their car is stolen by a pair of thieves (Chris "Ludicris" Bridges and Larenz Tate).The best ensemble films are the ones in which the characters are given an opportunity to breathe (Magnolia, Short Cuts, and Nashville come to mind). With Crash, 105 minutes is barely enough time to let the numerous participants begin to inhale. The movie runs for long enough to allow Haggis to present the story, but we're left wanting a little more - a few extra scenes and an added conversation or two (especially between Newton's character and her husband, played by Terrence Dashon Howard). But I suppose it's always best to leave an audience hungry, rather than feeling overstuffed.Crash's strength is that it deals intelligently with serious subjects. Racism is a hot-button issue,yet Haggis manages to approach it in a universal, reasonable manner. We don't feel like we're being preached to, nor does this seem like a sanctimonious "message movie." The film's numerous stories are tied together by a web of coincidence. Af first, there's a sense that so much contrivance invites criticism. However, on a second viewing, I was aware of the balance and symmetry in the way the characters' tales connect, sometimes only tangentially. Haggis has created a microcosmos, so it's only right for plot-lines to criss-cross.The director has assembled a large, accomplished cast that includes Matt Dillon, Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Thandie Newton, and Ryan Phillippe. Amongst other things, this group virtually assures that the film will be seen. All are more than competent in their roles - with Cheadle, Dillon, and Newton being especially memorable - and each does his or her best to enhance the two-dimensionality of the characters as they are presented in the screenplay. The most powerful scene in Crash has Dillon and Newton confronting mistrust on the cusp of mortality.The principle subject matter is racism and its manifestations, and how it is often as much the result of social conditioning and anger as of hatred and intolerance. In addition to the usual white-on-black manifestation of discrimination, we are confronted with black-on-Latino, Latino-on-Asian, white-on-Middle Eastern, and other permutations. Wherever cultural differences exist, there is room for tension. However, by depicting bigoted characters as otherwise caring individuals, Crash asks us to consider the causes of racism as much as to examine its effects. In doing this, Crash sets itself apart, at least to a degree, from other, similar motion pictures. Although an expanded running time would have afforded us the opportunity to get to know the characters better, Crash is long enough to permit the film's themes to strike a responsive chord.四:Screenwriter Paul Haggis made such an impression with his treatment of F.X. Toole?s source material for director Clint Eastwood?s ?Million Dollar Baby?, the best film of 2004, that I was eager to see what he was cooking up next. Thankfully, he strikes gold again with his directorial debut Crash, which is not to be confused with the 1996 David Cronenberg movie of the same name. Where that film was about people who were turned on by car crashes, here Haggis takes a turn into the realm of human collision in the decaying world of Los Angeles through many connecting and disconnecting characters. It is a location where Robert Altman (Short Cuts) and Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia) once told their own stories about healing and redemption. We first happen upon an accident outside of the city, where a detective (Don Cheadle) and his partner (Jennifer Esposito) arrive on the action. The film then goes back about 48 hours to introduce us to several connecting characters, all of which have different racial backgrounds. We first happen upon a wealthy white couple (Brendan Fraser playing a district attorney and Sandra Bullock playing his wife) whose car is stolen by some merciless car thieves (Chris ?Ludacris? Bridges and Larenz Tate). This leads to Bullock?s character suffering a breakdown and fearing everything around her.We also meet a Persian man who is insistent to purchase a gun to protect his store, ignorant of the fact that a Mexican locksmith (Michael Pena) is telling him to replace his door. (?I replaced the lock, and it works, but your door does not.?) The locksmith, who looks like someone recently sprung from jail and was also suspected by Bullock?s character earlier on when her house locks were changed, is a loving family man who has moved on with his daughter after a violentshooting.Down the road, we also meet a black film director (Terence Howard) whose wife (Thandie Newton) is harassed and fondled by a seemingly dirty cop (Matt Dillon) while his nicer partner (Ryan Philippe) looks on. The director husband is enraged by this violence but refuses to do anything much to the anger of his wife, and Phillipe?s cop finally decides that he wants to get a new partner, or possibly a solo car job.I have only brushed the surface of the characters and their set-up, and it is up to each individual viewer to connect to the story and discover how all of these people bounce off one another and lead back to that opening in the city outskirts. The thrill of watching Crash is not just the telling aspects of racism in our society, and it is there, but also to instinctive fear and how that can drive us to silent anger and insecurity. The film somewhat reminded me of Lawrence Kasdan?s great 1991 film Grand Canyon where several characters were at their wits end by a changing society, and here Mr. Haggis tells a story of select kinds of people who are battling to find themselves in a world that is tearing them apart.Funny, isn?t it, how you can live in a town or large city and yet somehow you can feel disconnected with those around you. With that said, everyone has a story and everyone is connected, and the pleasure of a film like Crash, a wonderful story, beautifully performed and written, is that there is hope in this world, and there can be a future where all is redeemed and all is right. We crash into each other for a reason.五:OK, so the cleansing shower at the end of "Crash" features snow instead of frogs, but there are still too many similarities between this film and "Magnolia" for comfort.Like "Magnolia," this ensemble drama features multiple intersecting story lines that seek to expose the lack of intimacy and warmth between residents of Los Angeles. There's even a showy supporting turn by a big-name star (in this case, Sandra Bullock instead of Tom Cruise).On the plus side, "Crash" is a much shorter film —by nearly an hour. But it doesn't have nearly the lingering emotional punch of "Magnolia." Although this one does score some points for confronting racial prejudice head-on (including within the LAPD). It's just unfortunate that it's been packaged in such already familiar material.Among the Angelenos examined in "Crash" is Graham (Don Cheadle, who also produced), a police detective dealing with a drug-addled mother who wants him to make things right with his younger brother. Then there's Hanson (Ryan Phillippe), a young LAPD officer who sees the ugly side of his patrol partner (Matt Dillon) when they pull over a black filmmaker (Terrence Howard) and his wife (Thandie Newton).Meanwhile, a pair of would-be carjackers (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Larenz Tate) make the mistake of stealing the vehicle of the local D.A. (Brendan Fraser) and his high-strung wife (Bullock). And in the film's least successful story, there is a confrontation between an Arab-American convenience-store owner (Shaun Toub) and a Hispanic locksmith (Michael Pena), which adds an unnecessary feel-good element to a movie that doesn't really need one.Co-screenwriter Paul Haggis does fill out his directorial debut with some strong performances, though. Cheadle is as intense as usual, while both Dillon and Howard add some needed shadingsto their respective characters.Unfortunately, Bullock's much-ballyhooed performance verges on cartoonish, and worse, she's paired with Fraser, who couldn't be more inanimate if he was cast as a brick wall.。

《crash撞车》英语影评、观后感

《crash撞车》英语影评、观后感第一篇:《crash撞车》英语影评、观后感CRASH in my viewA great film, and here are some pieces of my thought.First, racial discrimination is involved in this film.People are rated by colour or their race.Some of the white are always high up in the air in a mixed and open big city such Los Angeles just like Anthony, the black burglar, once said.Yeah, this is the fact that no one can deny.But what makes this dramatic is the different idea between Anthony and the other burglar, little brother of an black detective, who doesn’t think they are treated differently.In my opinion, in order to eliminate prejudice to black people, not only white people but also the black themselves should change their attitude.Anthony didn’t agree with that so he saw race discrimination everywhere, which left him in great shadow and push him to rob the “wicked” white people.But after he saw a white policeman help a black director out of trouble, he changed his mind.He got on a bus that he would never take before and found that the white and the black could sit together peacefully.He found that the world full of sunshine and he even liberated the trafficked people.Sometimes inequality comes from outside.Sometimes it is born of our mind.This idea is not about only Anthony or racial discrimination, but is also appropriate for everyone in every situation.Secondly, the film tells us that there is only a thin line between sheep and goat.And there is no absolute good or bad person.Officer Ryan seemed to be a jerk, but the jerk helped a woman out of death.Tommy is upright, but he killed an innocent young man by accident.In addition, don’t make decisions when in bad mood.The mad Miss Jean blamedher housekeeper only to find she was the only friend whom she could rely on.The mad policeman fired on his passenger only to find that there’s no gun in his hand.The mad Persian store owner fired on a little girl only to find he almost created a ra Elizabeth, the young girl in the cloak of love, is really an angel.The ending of the film is partly satisfactory and partly tragic, touching me deeply.The young girl survived while the black kid is found dead.Maybe real life is a tragicomedy just like the movie.All we can do is to believe in love and bravery, and believe that every person has a good nature.第二篇:撞车crash影评“冲突——和解——新冲突”的循环式——美国电影《CRASH》评论迷幻的灯光,来往的车辆,模糊的身影,涌动的人潮,沉重的叹息——这是奥斯卡获奖影片《撞车》的片头带给我们的迷幻和朦胧,一派喧嚣繁华却又寂寞疏离的俗世。

影片《c r a s h》观后感--英文版THE DIGNITY OF THE BLACKSIN “CRASH”After watch the film—crash, I see discrimination, cultural conflicts, the blood, distrust, misunderstand and so on .However,the dignity of the individual and the racial is the most important aspects in the film.Look back to the history, during that time, the slaver captured the blacks from Africa and forced them to work in the plantations which are located in the south of America. Some black slaves died of diseases and lacked food in the halfway to Atlantic. Some were subject and trade. Meanwhile, they were beaten cruelty. What was worse, owing to overworking , lots of the slavers directly died. The slave trade lasted for several centuries from 15th century . The blcks slaves were just looked as a kind of tool by plantation owners without dignity .At the begining of the film ,it shows between different race conflict. For example,” I n L.A,Nobody touches you.”, ” We are always behind this metal and glass ”,” She got colder as soon as she saw us and her reation is blind fear.”,” D ress like gangbangers” and so on . From two black youth's dialog to see they think the dignity life is luxury living in white pepole world . The public prosecutor wife saw the two black young men by the despised sight that caused their dignity to suffer injury . So they wanted to obtain the dignity by snatching public prosecutor's vehicle . As aresult , it had caused the public prosecutor wife to loathe the black .The respect is most people expected to own . Each people should remember, the dignity is not others give, but to win through your own diligence . Therefore, everyone should have the same dignity, but that depends on our own gain. The police shamed the director's wife who wanted to built her husband dignity for saving his own face . His husband kept silent at that point. .However , he saved his face, he lost his dignity. Not long ago, in a car accident, they met again. The black wife would rather die than accept the white police Ryan’ help. The resistance showed her fight for the dignity . Eventually, the police saved the black woman safely in the crisis. From the black woman , we can see that she gained her dignity by struggling and won the respect, the white police to the black . There was a lens that two black youth men pillaged a shuttle bus and was surprised to find that wasa black driver. With the white police Hanson help, the director returned to his car, and said to them , “you embarrass me ,you embarrass youself”. If you look down youself, others will despise you. After that , the black bludger also struggled for the dignity. He snatched one car fully laden with the trading East Asian person's vehicle . When he saw the scene , he thought his ancestor had traded like this . Finally, he led them to the security area, and gave them his all money to buy food for themselves. From this event, he determined to strive for the atonement and live with dignity life. From then, he might not only win respect , but also realize the dignity true value.From ancient times till now, for dignity, but the unyielding person is everywhere, R ousseau “Every man should maintain their dignity”. Zhu Ziqing for own dignity, but did not eat the American relief food..The dignity is not actually difficult to strive for, was only some people have not dared in the heart to strive for, to think that oneself was humble, did not match obtains these things. Every body is born equal, this is known very well on the words by the people, but actually not by most people true understanding. We should struggle for our dignity and the national dignity. But struggle does not mean the violence and the war.Actually, each people are the angel and the devil synthesis, the wind and cloud opportune moment, the circumstances reverse, good and evil samsara. Sometimes, does evil the reason which the human no doubt has it to be worth sympathizing, but this actually cannot become him for the wicked excuse, because, in society's people look resemble the isolation, regulations each other relation, even if a spot small evilintention has the possibility to look like the snowball equally more to roll is bigger, not can only injury and the innocent person, even also the final retribution to own body on. Friendly and wicked is the error in thought merely, actually will create the entirely different result . Where has the oppression, where has the revolt. In modern society , there is still racial discrimination in America . Blacks still suffer quite unfairly , so that the African—American Civil Rights Movement broke out .I think that it passes through the long time wearing , the racial discrimination and the cultural conflict question will melt gradually. Everybody will live with the dignity, the world will present peace to have the good aspect . Like a song sings, we are the whole family, the whole family who the intimate falls in love. I can’t wait to welcome this day in the near future!。
