Crash

A Movie Reel

Crash: 8.5 out of 10.

I'm a big fan of Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia".  I've seen it several times and I love the style.  It's a big ensemble cast with several interwoven plotlines that create a greater thought-provoking sense.  "Magnolia" came out six years ago and I hadn't watched a flick since that came close to this all-encompassing spirit.  Canadian Paul Haggis' "Crash" is filmed in a similar style with a similar positive effect.

It's a well-written, well acted two hours that makes a number of bold statements about our racist world.  It was exceptional and now it's made me want to watch "Magnolia" again.
