Crash Movie Review at Hollywood Video (1722 words) |
 | Hollywood films don't generally cast the mutts of the world, but the stars of this movie are almost all so completely beautiful that it sets up a nice contrast between the prettiness of their faces and the ugliness of their actions. |
| Crash is a very raw and emotionally disturbing piece of moviemaking with many things to offer, not the least of which is a lesson in why not to live life as either stubborn or rash. |
| From the get-go, the movie is tense and, for the first half of it anyway, nearly unrelenting in its vision of the world as an ugly, f*cked-up place of little hope. |
| Crash Movie Review (1046 words) |
| Crashes and sex are linked -- not interchangeable -- and crashes can result in damage to the real human body. |
| If car crashes can be sexual, then the resulting damage to the human body can be a fascinating, arousing secretion of this "sex." All of these ideas can be fascinating and arousing, not to a strange literally metaphoric car-person, but to real humans aroused by the whole subject, the movie seems to say. |
| It is mysterious and intriguing and it invites you in, but there is some odd mixture of sincerity (the damaged letters, the repulsive connection between cars and sex) and slickness (the polishing of those letters in fresh chrome, the sexiness and sexuality of the cast and their cars). |
