In my opinion this film is a reality that many of us do not want to see, because currently there is much racism in the world and I think that should not exist but it is impossible because there are always people who will criticize the other by skin color, by ethnicity , religion etc.. I was a little shocked to see the film exactly because of this and because although only one of the film shows a larger realities of our society that is discrimination! I felt that somehow I have also discriminated people like all people in the world have done, I do not think there is a person who has never discriminated against anyone and this film led me to ask a question: do people deserve to be criticized and discriminated against because they are black or white, American or Portuguese? that is why there is? Of course not, we are as we are and we have respect for others and their ideologies and not to criticize, as well as others should do the same with us! I say this because yes, we are all different but we are all equal!
ReplyDeleteAnd all special, don't you agree? :D
DeleteThis movie is AWESOME! Not just because of Terrence Howard (I looooove him!), but also because the movie is a great example of what human kind have been doing to each other so far.
ReplyDeleteIt shown us the reality, that one which is still a taboo in some countries and nobody should ignore it: the huge crashes between some cultures. It's just ridiculous what some people can do. And it's kinda embarrassing for those who stay away of this conflict, those who have respect for them own kind.
People really should think and measure their words before say or do something that can actually hurt someone.
I usually say that hypocrisy reigns on this planet. No one should judge anyone, no one has that right, because nobody is perfect.
Imagine a world where everyone would be equal. What would be funny? Each person has a characteristic that defines her, and everyone should respect the others characteristic if they would like to be respected as well.
I admit that sometimes I make some of this kind of mistakes... But as I said, nobody is perfect and at least I'm aware that what I did was very wrong and I try hard as hell to change this bad actions! It's really embarrassing realizing that I've probably hurt someone already... Now it's necessary to compensate for the bad actions with good actions!
''Crash'' is a very inspiring film and we should take the good parts of it and put it in action if we want to live in a world where we can 'breathe'!
Breathe and smile without crashing into each other! :)
DeleteThis film so is amused and so frightful had to the descriminações and racism, never I thought qe was thus but of remaining portion of the film he is funny. Taste of films of this type because one never knows what it will be able to happen.
ReplyDeleteCHINAMANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
Yes, sometimes humour is used to convey deep messages. :D
DeleteIn my opinion, this movie was amazing because through this we can understand how people interact with people from other cultures or ethnicities.
ReplyDeleteThe events depicted herein are a constant reality, so we have to unite and try to change the mentality of these people.
Count on me! :D
DeleteThis film is very good. It´s a film about racism and discrimination above all, in Los Angeles, California, the relation of rich to the poor, and conflicts between different races, cultures, ethnic backgrounds,...Now, in my opinion. I think we should not be racist, nor discriminate the "other" because he is like us, only we do not have the same form of life than us. if we were being discriminated against us, we would also not like it, so do not let that way of doing harm to those living have a different culture or another color, because this path does not lead us anywhere, only creates more conflict.
ReplyDeleteIt's a film I recommend to everyone because it is good to understand the interaction of the people and the realize the reality of our world.
:)
That's it, Tiago! :D
DeleteI enjoyed so much this film! Really! It's a huge film that relates the hard reality about the world that we live, and how we can be so unfair with the other people.. Sometimes we do it with no intentions, for example, calling somebody 'black'. But, exist so much people that do it for pure prejudice, just because the religion, race or sexual orientation. People have to learn that we find really good persons for their personality, for what they really are as person and not for their religions, races or their options. The true beauty is inside of us!
ReplyDeleteNever forget about the real, true beauty of each one of us! :D
DeleteI loved the movie! Many of us think that nothing bad ever happens, at least not as bad as the media portrays, but in fact is really true, discrimination exists whether we believe or not. I'm sorry that this is the world we all live, but I believe that this movie touched everyone who saw and what made them change certain attitudes, improving not only the character themselves, such as making the lives of others less suffering .
ReplyDeleteThat's it, Laura! :D
DeleteThis is such a strong movie. It's easy to understand who the characters are, their lives and even their personalities but due to the surprise effect (very present on this movie) we never now how they will behave. That's definitely a plus because we start caring about those people and getting involved.
ReplyDeleteIt's very emotional and the reality of our World was amazingly portrayed. It has the ability to make us open our eyes and realize that discrimination still exists even tough it's sad and embarrassing for humankind.
In conclusion, this is without a doubt, a must see movie.
Indeed! :D
DeleteI loved it!! It is simply a great movie. This film shows us, so raw and realistic, as far as we can get with our prejudice and racism. Shows that even if we do not realize, we always have some prejudice in us, and it comes up in the most unusual. That's when we realized that we really do not know completely. And it scares us.
ReplyDeleteBut at the same time it shows us how this complexity to racial issues in society, this film also shows that even with all the intolerance and prejudice, we need each other.
That's it, Carolina! :D
DeleteThis movie is very interesting because it puts us think of a few realities that are around us but we realize that not because we think too much on us and esquecemonos of others and see the movie thinking about how we would react in those situations that dramatic if we we had the place of those characters are real hard to pass up. We should all accept the differences and respeitarmo us so that everything could ever be different.
ReplyDeleteIf only we accepted each other's differences! ;D
DeleteThis was a really great movie, because many social problems are reported in several scenes, such as racism, discrimination, sexual abuse, among other. It was a good way to show people the state and the hypocrisy of modern society; they don’t tolerate the many differences of each. Everything is a ground of discrimination, race, gender, religion, everything that is exotic and different. In certain scenes of the movie I was shocked because the relationship between “white people” and “black people” is absolutely ridiculous. The extreme violence and ignorance in view of the two races don’t make sense, we are equal and we have the same rights and duties. Will be that to be all treated the same way we have to paint all one color? It would be difficult, so the best we have to do is accept each other as we are, the difference is what distinguishes us and what makes us to give better with some than with others.
ReplyDeleteThe difference is what makes us special, isn't it? :D
DeleteYes it is! :)
DeleteIt was a good movie, I liked the storyline and what they did with each character. It portrayed some society "issues" and I had a very interesting time watching it.
ReplyDeleteBut for me, it lacked a bigger, with something even more memorable so I would rate it 8/10
Not bad as a rate! :D
DeleteI love it watched this movie, it's was a really good movie... The way that the movie goes on in the various scenes it's incredible...
ReplyDeleteIn this film talks about various kinds of people with different problems and different social classes as well. The movie is all interconnected ... the various characters that make the scenes "collide" with each other in the film. This film basically talks about social discrimination, and difficulties they face during their lifes . The film ends when, all the characters solve their problem in they on way, in some cases we think that the choice the character took was the proper one... For ending this it was a good movie with a great argument.This current situation is not just in U.S.A that happens it’s also around the resto of the world...
That's it, Rocio! :D
DeleteI enjoyed see the film, it makes us think, makes us put in place of charactershe and shows the enormous discrimination and prejudice that exists between people, how people do not accept the difference, change. It seems that they want everyone to be the same, imitations of each other,they point the finger, enjoy, abuse .. This not only in terms of race but also sex, age, religion, among others .. and this is the society we live in, that things not happen just in movies.
ReplyDeleteBut the movie also shows that people are not 100% bad or 100% good, but you can change and make the right choice if you so wish that.
I couldn't agree more! :D

ReplyDeletethis movie has awakened many feelings in me, I felt anger for those who mistreat and discriminate other people felt sorry for all those who have or are in situations similar or identical to those portrayed in the film and I also felt bad about myself for all the times I thought someone for being different, mainly by way of being or dressing, but I know that after the visualization of this movie changed my way of thinking and I know I never want to go back to doing the same, because I do not do unto others I do not want me to me. Also this movie made me realize that penssamento of humanity has to change and learn to accept all the differences and all kinds of race, ethnicity, religion and sexual tastes so that we can all live in harmony.
Good, Tânia! :D
DeleteI liked it!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see how the story of the characters are "intertwined" in this movie .. But when I watched, the feeling I had was that I was not watching a movie because the movie has only one main story that will unfold throughout the film, as in "Crash, on the edge 'has a main story I found it strange x) .. but it is very good and we can draw many lessons from this movie. Discusses racism in a good way actually found spectacular, because it portrays the prejudice and with a pure and simple story, really real. It's a movie that is worth being seen, because it makes us think about many things, such as prejudice, intolerance, abuse of power ..
Many lessons, indeed, Sara!

ReplyDeleteI had like saw the film “Crash” because show us some social problems like discrimination, sexual abuse, traffic, insecurity, prejudice, harassment and carjacking. This are the actually problems in society and most people don’t know or just don’t care about it. This film it’s a way to “open our eyes” to reality and I advice all people to see it.
It's a must-see film!
DeleteTatiana (11º7)
ReplyDeleteI loved the movie. In my opinion this movie was shockingly nice to watch because he transmits us what actually happens and there are things that should be overcome by the human being and they don't make the effort to do that.
It also showed us severeal kind of problems like racism, discrimination, sexual abuse, and others.
The film was also particularly touching when the girl came running in order to protect his father .. ='(
I love it ;) *
Very touching, indeed!

ReplyDeleteWell, I liked very much seen the film “crash” because I think that was very interesting, funny, entusiasment and misterious.
See the social problems this film, like discrimination, sexual abuse, traffic, insecurity, prejudice, harassment, racism, car jacking, social tensions and other problems, learning about them this funny way was very interesting.
My favourite moment in the film was when Farhaad try kill Daniel Ruiz and the little girl, the Daniel daughter try to save/protect him. Was a part more strong for me this film.
I will like to see this film again! I really liked to see it!
I've seen it a couple of times already and each time I always discover new things about it. :D
DeleteEloísa Gomes, 11º7
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing the movie because I thought the movie Crash interesting (though there are several share a bit shocking), I not only its history but also for its content.
In this film we see the life of another world, where there are a lot of discrimination based on race, color, choice of sexual harassment of women, the clash of interests, opposing worlds, different mentalities.
In my opinion people should not be judged or discriminated against just because they have to be another color or of another race or even a person for liking the same sex.
All human beings are free to choose what they want and should not be judged for it.
No one should be judged by one's choices or appearance! I couldn't agree more! :D
DeleteI enjoyed watching the movie it was quite entertaining and eye opening. I ilustrates the diferent types of discrimination, diferent reactions and to diferent people.It also demonstrates that this behaviour is still tolerated in todays society and what a huge defect it is. All people may targets of some type of discrimination so it just isn't right to do that to someone. Everyone could easily avoid and should it provides for a better world for everyone. And one of the caracthers in the movie learn that near the end and it work out for the best. He is an example that everyone can stop discriminating and start treating everyone equaly.

ReplyDeleteNowadays being racist doesn't make sense, because people of all races should be integrated in the world. we have to communicate wiht all of them.
Being racist is to look down on the other in the name of their origins. Sometimes it is because of the colour of the skin other times because of physical characteristics, normally association to a different languages, or the pratice of a different religon.
Racism wants to justify slavery opression, the control of one people by another, ect.
I really enjoyed the movie, it gave to show tha tpeople are not what they seem to be (physically).
Catarina Cafôfo, 11º7
ReplyDeleteThis movie makes us "see" get a sense of what people are suffering due todiscrimination. In this film we can see, feel the pain, the pain caused bydescriminação.Sentemse discarded, like trash, as if they were one, as if they were worth nothing and question yourself all the time, why me? What did I do to God?,Among other questions.
Also note that auqeles practicing discrimination, for them it's okay, all the greater.For them is irrelevant, uninteresting suffering, the pain of another person, for pride is such a habit of superiority, to be better than others is so high that even look around.
Often we are aware that discrimination is a pain that hurts a lot to those who are oftendiscriminated many are sick and suffering that often leads to madness since become depressed and sometimes leads to death.
And através the film could be closer to it, slaughter us more, sensitizes us, movesus and is this really the purpose of the film. It is in the message of pain, suffering, not to do any of this to anyone.
The film is quite interesting, I liked to see it because it is a matter addressed in the classroom but also day to day Edo (universal) and that unfortunately happens a lot nowadays.
I really enjoyed the movie , it show us in a very impressive and "cativating" way that all types of discriminations happens with frequency and that exist everywhere ! this movie was an "open eyes" , because alert us that racism it isn`t something only of the past but also of the present and that nowadays is a very common situation unfortlenty and it can happen right next to us :/

ReplyDeleteWatching this movie made me think of all the attitudes we have towards something or someone different and sometimes this can create.
This movie shows how society is discriminating and discrimination, how far can the evil of people over others because they are different in terms of color, attitudes, thinking and so on.
The world remains in constant changes and developments and what you would expect was that the mentality of people accompany this change but you can not watch the same, the mindset of most people is still very small and closed just thinking that the world belongs to them and that others are not entitled to enjoy it too, sometimes lowering them, making them feel more, or bad about themselves sometimes just to feel superior to the rest of the world.
The truth is that we all deserve to be treated equally, with my rights as other without being criticized for our color, religion, culture or ways of thinking.
This film beyond this also made me reflect on my actions and think that sometimes we do not we realize. When we enjoy with someone by their clothes, their thoughts or anything else we sometimes discriminate nor is it intended that all but sure it ever did or has already been broken and the truth is that nobody likes or feels good to be enjoyed by treaty or something, so we must think of our actions for a day or do not repent "fall" and be us who enjoys the attention. We are all here for a reason, and if we were all equal what the grace of life? Being a monotonous cycle of addiction? I think that life and all need different things is what makes each one so unique and special.
