Matt Dillon plays a racist who rolls the dice to rescue Thandie Newton here in this scene of the movie Crash. Not sure if he got cooties or anything. Seems to have made it out OK. Lots of prejudice in this movie among an ensemble cast that also includes Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Brendan Fraiser, Ryan Phillippe, Tony Danza, and Jennifer Esposito. It's a serious drama that will test your strength and your understanding of bigotry.
It's set in Los Angeles over a couple day period post September 11th. It starts out with a multi-car pile-up and flashes back to tell you the story. It's a solid film that won the Best Picture Oscar in 2006. Paul Haggis directed (and wrote) the film, and the funny thing is, the guy came from writing sitcoms and hasn't really directed any other feature films at all (before or since). Watch the movie trailer and read on because...
FilmBender is Funny Movie Reviews. It's a serious picture that's not the best to make light of, but if you'd like to get into a great film that's going to put you head on with reality, especially in a country where we are now lead by a black man, put on your hood if you're a racist and hold out your arms if you're not. Both types will enjoy it.
