Just got around to seeing Crash last night and actually liked it quite a bit. Heavy handed to be sure but I enjoyed the twists and surprises of the unlikely coincidences. Perhaps the main thing I liked was the allowance for redemption. In this polarized world (red:blue, conservative:liberal, jew:muslim:christian, rich:poor, etc.) we tend to assume that the "other guy" will never change so why should we even consider it. In this movie people did change or, at the very least, had a window forced open to let in new ideas about themselves and others. On the other hand, you really can't go by my opinion because I like all movies and have only walked out early on one movie in my first half century...and it was really, really bad.
