Crash Reactions...
Today in class we viewed select clips from the Movie Crash and complete journal reflections. View this crafty video montage set the Avenue Q's Everoybody is a Little Bit Racist. Feel free to share your reactions about the clips or the montage
its mean to judge someone by there color or what not , its not good to be Racist and cruel because one day you could need serious help and the only person you were mean to or picked on is the only one who can help you .!
I watched the whole movie at home when I saw the "teasers". As I was wathcing the film, I reailized that there are so many ways that people judge you or are mean to you. It made me and my family realize that there is more to life then sterotypes. It was tear jerking and like Joslyn said, the one day you need someone, its only going to be the one you were mean to. I belive this statement true and encourage everyone to think about your actions before you speek.
This movie is great, it shows peoples different perspectives on each other and really shows how horrible racism and judging is. For example the locks man was a dedicated father trying to protect his family, but when Sandra Bulleck saw him she immediately thought he was a gang banger and was going to sell her key to his "homies"
because of this little clip, i went and rented the movie and loved the whole thing. it's really interesting and it shows how effective racial discrimination can be. it ruins people's lives
I think this movie is really good! This movie shows how much racial discrimination can effect ones life. This also shows how others view their peers, just by the way they look. I really hate how there are so many stereotypes in this world, and how a lot of people dont get to know someone before they make their judgements on the person.
This movie I think does a really good job of demonstrating the everyday stuggles that different people undergo. Racism is such a hateful thing and there is no need for it. People do not even realize they do it, but it surrounds us everyday and i think its a very sad thing to live in a world with so much hate towards people you dont know because of their race/religion.
I LOVE this movie! I rented it the Friday after we watched it, and then watched it on T.V. two more times that Sunday! I think that it does a really good job in exposing racisim and it really shows every persons point of view in the situation. I was dissapointed because I usually really like Sandra Bullock but in this movie I did not like her character at all, but I guess I can understand her frustration considering her car just got high jacked and her husband is more worried about his career then he is about her.
The parts shown in class didn't exactly make Crash seem like a movie I would be able to sit through. It seemed good but Sandra bullock's character just ticked me off a lot. But the movie does show that racism is stil a big social problem.
I rented this movie right after we watched it in class. I loved it. It does an amazing job getting perspectives from all different angles and I feel it's pretty much accurate. This movie shows how important it is to treat people with respect.
i like how this video shows how they all interact with each other. its an eye opener to see how many people judge each other without thinking about what they are doing.if more people thought before they spoke it would be a better world.
The clips of the video showed how blind people are to others. They place sterotypes on them without knowing a single thing about them, and make irrational decisions when they don't have a clue what may have happened in the other person's day.
I find it ironic that Sandra's character is the one preaching about "everyone being a little racist" in that crafty music video considering that her character was racist in the movie.
The movie crash really made me think more about racism, after watching the movie i descovered that it really is everywhere. Then, i connect the movie crash to the "monkey business" video. It's true, we're all just a bunch of monkeys that are so desperate to fit in, but in the end, we all just hate and judge eachother....ironic?
After watching the clips in class, I actually went home and rented the movie. I LOVED it. I thought it was a good cast and plot. It's a movie I could definitely watch over and over again.
After watching the clips in class, I immediately rented the movie with Franky. I looooved the movie. I thought it had a great cast.. Especially Ryan Phillippe<3 It had a good theme too, and was interesting to watch. It's a movie I could see over and over again.
nobody should be judged by the color of their skin. the wife should have never freaked out as much as she did, and she had no reason to have so much prejudice against the two men as she was walking down the street with her husband.

I think this is a very powerful movie. I feel that it accurately displays some of the negative stereotypes in our society.

It uncovers the negative steriotypes that are present in everyday life. Good movie
This is a very shocking and moving movie. It shows the good and the terrible stereotypes that exist in todays society.
