Crash
I didn’t write about Star Wars (meh), War of the Worlds (good), or Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (*amazing*), but I will write about Crash. Easily, Crash is the best movie I have seen this year. Crash mixes over-the-top but imaginable racial tension with real humanity. No heros, no villains, no central star protagonist: every character redeems and defiles him/herself. Several storylines intertwine but do not meet in the tear jerking end. You won’t cry because of the love, pain, redemption, or violence depicted. The real humanity in Crash will touch something greater than all of these emotions.
Be warned: it’s intense. I couldn’t stop thinking about the movie for hours after I left the theater.
