Crash

I was told this movie was a good movie by my friend who works at the video store. He says every movie is good. I take his reviews with a grain of salt. I had no idea what this movie was about. And I don't like Sandra Bullock at all - that's one of the reasons I never wanted to see this movie. She's not the main character - nobody is. It's one of those movies with a million different side plots that all come together.

I'll sum it up for you. It's all about racial prejudices.

This movie is one of those movies that elicits emotions.

I'll be honest. It pissed me off and it made me cry. Yes, I cried. A few times. Actually, more than any movie that I have ever seen. The first time I saw Gladiator and Braveheart I cried (I won't admit to crying the subsequent 100 times I've seen those movies, but those are two of my top 20 movies for damn sure - probably top 5) but this movie did it a few times...on different levels.

I can't really write up too much of a review on it - I don't want to spoil anything. Usually, I wouldn't care and I would spoil the hell out of it. But this is just one of those movies I think everyone needs to see. And I think they need to see it without any pre-conceived notions on what it is about and without any spoilers.

Acting - top notch.
Plot - awesome.
Soundtrack - fitting.

I give this movie whatever the highest rating I can possibly give a movie.

If you actually read these reviews - go out and rent it. All I can say is that I'm glad that I saw this alone. It would have sucked for me to have watched this with anyone else...you know, because I'm a strong masculine man and movies don't affect me and stuff.

I watched this movie while I was cleaning and now I'm sitting here, not cleaning at all, and just watching it. I say fuck it to the cleaning. This movie was worth the possible embarrassment at how dirty my house is.

Good movie. Great movie. See it.
