CRASH
The movie “Crash” is about as intense a movie as you could have produced. During this time after a very sensitive period in our world, the movie portrays a number of different stereotypes, interpersonal conflicts, and creates questions that are very prevalent in today’s society. The character that I found most intriguing was the African American character who hitched a ride.

This can cause confusion within each other leading them to jump to conclusions.

The police officer laughs like he does not believe what the guy is saying. The African American guy also sees an ornament on the dashboard and...
