Crash-- a film represent humanity

《Crash》 the film is talking about humanity after 9·11 in American. It was directed by Paul Haggis. It tells a story about different kind of people in two days in Los Angeles. It covers a wide range of class steps which including white, black, Latin, Middle Easten, and East Asian. At the same time, the jobs of them are from locksmith to the district police officer, from small fry to detectives from the shop owner to Hollywood director. It shows the director's thinking of a multicultural and multiracial society.

I like the storytelling of this film. It is complicated but connected with each characters. The film begins with a car crash, and ends with a car crash too. He use montage to show his strong feelings, to show the racial discrimination in Los Angeles. In the film, the most slot which amazing me is when the little girl was shoot by a gun, the most painful her parents showed, and the "murderer" who was a shopkeeper was shocked and stood there with helpless emotion.

After it, the girl was not died, and she believed the "coat" which her father gave her as a shield. So the story turned to a kind of "release" after this. The shopkeeper didn't know the bullet was faked, he believed the little girl saved him and regarded her as his "Angel". Actually it released the tension situation between the two mans' conflict.

So through the film I learn the storytelling and the way to connect different people by accident.
