Crash
just watched Crash last night.Excellent. just a tiny bit try-hard...but with material like that, it's hard not to come across as try-hard unless you made a dark satire. At points it did indeed go down the self-referential/ironic track with Ludacris spouting some line about how rappers are just yet more symbols and reinforcement of black oppression although if you didn't know it was Ludacris, the whole thing was extremely in character without irony. And he's a pretty decent actor on top of it all.
An understated cast of A-listers, the star turn was Matt Dillon; kudos to Brendan Fraser for not looking like a dumb jock for once. And there I was thinking that the permanently vacant look in his eyes was real.
Disturbing, depressing and uplifting all at the same time.
