"Crash"

"Crash" is a movie that brings out  racial stereotypes. The movie is set in Los Angeles, a city with a cultural mix of every nationality.
The story begins when several people are involved in a multi-car accident. From that point, we are taken back to the day before the crash, seeing the lives of several characters, and the problems each encounters during that day. A cop (Matt Dillon) is trying to get medical help for his father, but he is having problems with a black woman  who won't give his father permission to see another doctor. He in turn takes out his frustration on a black couple during a traffic stop. A socialite (Sandra Bullock) and District Attorney (Brandon Fraser) are carjacked at gunpoint by two black teenagers. Sandra takes out her anger on a Mexican locksmith who is changing the door locks to their home. Later that night, the locksmith is again robbed of his dignity by a Persian store-owner. Many of the characters switch from being bad-person-to-hero in ways that may surprise you.
We can see a "crash" between the many characters and we can realise that our society needs to do a check-up to our way of seeing people no matter what their colour, origins, religion, etc.
Enjoy :)
