It...Nothing about the movie made me uncomfortable. It's one of the most heavy handed, and insulting, pictures I've watched though. If I want to watch a good movie about people "crashing" into each other I'll watch Magnolia again or maybe Sasha Grey's latest skin flick. The last scene with the former mr reese witherspoon was laughably predictable. <br /><br />Just curious Meg, have you watched it since it came out? Have you seen it more than once? I don't disagree with the message. Just the execution. I've never really fetishised getting slapped in the face.brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735195151662028189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553085533027769481.post-64415738909144367332010-03-26T15:03:11.371-04:002010-03-26T15:03:11.371-04:00Whoa, I don't agree!! I loved 'Crash'...Whoa, I don't agree!! I loved 'Crash'...the Oscar won, not the auto erotica one. No one has ever been able to give me a reason as to why they dislike 'Crash.' It always seems that it's white males who don't like it so I wonder...is it the theme of racism that makes detractors uncomfortable?<br /><br />P.S. Great review as always!!Megmo Eskimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343307431673169640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553085533027769481.post-21452548319801193842010-03-24T22:41:48.693-04:002010-03-24T22:41:48.693-04:00Wow, I should really start taking notes during mov...Wow, I should really start taking notes during movies. Thanks for pointing out that Unger and Spader were married. I was under the impression she worked for him (although, in my defense, the lines illustrating relationships were blurry). Also, looks like I mangled her middle name a bit. Thanks for reading.<br /><br />And, yeah, CRASH (the oscar winner) is a piece of shit, I think we can all agree on that one.brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735195151662028189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553085533027769481.post-49222127945371752932010-03-24T22:30:23.321-04:002010-03-24T22:30:23.321-04:00LOL...that is the most unusual discription of CRAS...LOL...that is the most unusual discription of CRASH I have ever read. The movie does have a lot of non-erotic sex in it...which is the whole point. James Ballard (James Spader) and his wife Catherine Ballard (Deborah Kara Unger)are involved in an open marriage. They still love each other but are unable to be sexually gratifified by their respective spouse. Thus they seek sexual thrills outside of their legal union and return home to share their exploits hoping to copy the experience and reignite their passion. Definitely agree...would much rather watch Cronenberg's CRASH than the Oscar one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
