CRASH

I'm sure it's been discussed already, but this film is a f*cking masterpiece.

That's all.

yea i liked it. Dont know About "Masterpiece" but it's good.

yeah definatly not a masterpiece but good.

My second favorite of the year so far. 1st being Sin City, third being the Constanst Gardener.

it was simply amazing....

Yeah it was incredibly cheezy. Aside from that, Matt Dillon and Ryan Phillipe owned as usual

I thought it was the best movie of the year - but I didn't see everything either.

I've heard that this was sort of a litmus test for critics - some took the bait of its manipulative, false and shallow portrayal, citing it as "one of the best films of the year." Luckily, others were not fooled as easily.

How can that possibly be the best movie of the year? (2005, I mean). Hustle and Flow came out this year. Batman Begins came out this year.

where the hell have you been Mark?


Crash was typical hollywood. Nothing neat that hasnt already been said or seen.

Busy, busy Kyle. You doing ok?

I just thought CRASH was well written, acted, directed - well done! But I enjoy movies like that, so my opinion may be a bit tainted!

Can't wait to see what comes out for the holidays - to see if anything is going to standout.

dude i love Crash! I'm not a softee when it comes to movies but some parts of that flick had me welling up.

Great movie, but I understand why people were shocked when it won best picture.

I enjoyed it. I agree it is a masterpiece. Very well executed.

you know it might have gotten a little over the top or eccentric at times but you have to admit EVERY race is racist even if they dont mean to be and its funny because the more racist people get it starts stereotypes and just increases racism. Hate spreads faster then anything else in this world... this movie did a good job at showing us just how bad racism still is in everyday life

as if you actually needed a movie to tell you that? just look at your foreign policy!

nice magnolia homage

Come on. Driving down any street in America should be enough to tell you that racism is still intricately linked to our national identity.

Certainly NOT a masterpiece. Hardly above average. The acting was poor and everything was over the top. And I agree with Evan and HDK, you don't need to watch CRASH to see racism. It's life, and this film doesn't do a good job of expanding on it. Magnolia, on the other hand, is a good example of a film that does the whole intertwining stories theme very well.

it was a masterpiece if...short cuts, magnolia, amorres perros didnt exist.

I don't know about Masterpiece. True, it was well written, directed, acted, and whatnot, but it's still nowhere near a real masterpiece (e.g.-Star Wars IV, the Godfather II, On the Waterfront, etc). Think about it, if this is a masterpiece, then that would mean Magnolia was also a masterpiece...we all know that's not true.
