Crash (2004 film)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crash is a 2004 crime drama film co-written, produced,and directed by Paul Haggis. The film is about racial andsocial tensions in Los Angeles, California. A self-described "passion piece" for Haggis, Crash wasinspired by a real-life incident in which his Porsche wascarjacked outside a video store on Wilshire Boulevard in
1991.[3]
Several characters' stories interweave during two days inLos Angeles: a black detective estranged from hismother; his criminal younger brother and gang associate;the white District Attorney and his irritated andpampered wife; a racist white police officer who disgustshis more idealistic younger partner; an African AmericanHollywood director and his wife who must deal with theofficer; a Persian-immigrant father who is wary of others;and a hard-working family man Hispanic locksmith. Thefilm differs from many other films about racism in itsrather impartial approach to the issue. Rather thanseparating the characters into victims and offenders,victims of racism are often shown to be racist themselvesin different contexts and situations. Also, racist remarksand actions are often shown to stem from ignorance andmisconception rather than a malicious personality.
Crash stars a large ensemble cast including SandraBullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Esposito,Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Chris "Ludacris"Bridges, Thandie Newton, Ryan Phillippe, Larenz Tateand Michael Pea. In 2006, the film received sixAcademy Award nominations and won three for BestPicture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editingat the 78th Academy Awards.

Plot
Los Angeles detectives Graham Waters and his partner Ria approach a crime scene investigation. Waters exitsthe car to check out the scene. One day prior, Farhad, a Persian shop owner, and his daughter, Dorri, arguewith each other in front of a gun store owner as Farhad tries to buy a revolver. The shop keeper growsimpatient and orders an infuriated Farhad outside. Dorri defiantly finishes the gun purchase, which she hadopposed. The purchase entitles the buyer to one box of ammunition. She selects a red box.
In another part of town, Rick Cabot, the local district attorney, and his wife, Jean, are carjacked as they areabout to enter their Lincoln Navigator, by Anthony and Peter. Later, at the Cabot house, Hispanic locksmithDaniel Ruiz is changing their locks when he overhears Jean complaining about having been carjacked earlier bytwo black men and now having to endure a heavily tattooed Hispanic with a shaved head changing their locks,because she is sure he is going to leave and give copies of the new keys to "his other gang members." DetectivesWaters and Ria next arrive at the scene of a shooting between two drivers. The surviving shooter is a whitemale, identified as an undercover police officer. The dead shooter, a black male, is revealed also to be anundercover police officer. There is a large amount of cash found in the black officer's trunk. This is the third timethe white officer has shot and killed a black man.
LAPD officer John Ryan and his partner, Tom Hansen, begin their evening patrol. They pull over a Navigatorsimilar to the one carjacked earlier, despite discrepancies in the descriptions of the carjackers and in the licenseplate numbers. They order the couple, TV director Cameron Thayer and his wife Christine, to exit. Cameron iscooperative, but Christine has had a few drinks and is argumentative. This annoys Ryan, who manually molestsChristine under the pretense of administering a pat-down; intimidated, Cameron says nothing. The couple isreleased without a citation. Once home, Christine becomes enraged that Cameron did nothing while she wasbeing violated. Cameron insists that what he did was correct and storms out. Arriving home from work longafter dark, Daniel finds his young daughter, Lara, hiding under her bed after hearing a gunshot outside. Tocomfort her, Daniel gives her an "invisible impenetrable cloak," which makes her feel safe enough to fall asleep inher bed. In the carjacked SUV, Anthony and Peter, arguing and distracted, hit something while passing aparked white van. Stopping, they discover that they have run over an Asian man, now trapped under the SUV.They argue about what to do with him, finally dumping him in front of a hospital and driving away.
The next day, at the LAPD station, Hansen talks to his superior, Lt. Dixon, about switching partners. Dixon, ablack man, claims that Hansen's charge of Ryan as a racist could cost both Hansen and Dixon their jobs. Dixonsuggests a transfer to a one-man car and mockingly tells Hansen that he should justify it by claiming to haveuncontrollable flatulence. Ryan visits Shaniqua Johnson, a "managed care" insurance representative with whomhe argued earlier. Apologizing for insulting her previously, he explains that his father was previously diagnosedwith a bladder infection but he fears the diagnosis is incorrect and that it may be prostate cancer. Ryan wantshim to see a different doctor, but Shaniqua icily informs him that the health plan won't cover it. Daniel is seenreplacing a lock at Farhad's shop and tries to explain to him that the door frame is shattered and not secure andneeds to be replaced. Farhad, whose English is limited, misunderstands and accuses Daniel of cheating him andrefuses to pay. The next morning, Farhad discovers the store has been looted, wrecked and defaced with
-

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(2004_film) 3/11
graffiti. His insurance company does not cover the damage, calling it a case of negligence, as he had beenadvised to replace the door and did not. Farhad looks for and finds Daniel's full name on the discarded invoiceand vows revenge. Detective Waters visits his mother, a some-time hard drug abuser. She asks him to find hismissing younger brother; he promises and takes notice that there is almost no food in the apartment as he isleaving.
In the studio where Cameron works, a white producer, Fred, suggests that a black actor isn't acting "black"enough, as he was using proper grammar. Cameron had been satisfied with the take just completed, but Fredstrongly suggests that another take be done, with the black actor speaking more "black". Cameron initiallypushes back but, threatened with his job, he concedes. Ryan comes across a car accident and as he crawls intothe overturned vehicle, he finds Christine, who is trapped. Upon recognizing Ryan, Christine becomes hysterical,screaming for him to leave her alone and refusing his help, but gasoline is leaking from the tank and runningdownhill towards another wreck, which has already caught fire. He calms her down, and with the assistance ofhis partner and spectators, Ryan pulls Christine out just as her car bursts into flames. A confused but gratefulChristine is taken away by EMTs. Anthony and Peter attempt to carjack Cameron. Cameron has reached hislimit of being pushed around, and he resists the attempt. Cameron starts punching Anthony. Anthony tells Peterto shoot Cameron, but Peter does not. Instead, he tries to break the fight up. As police officers arrive, Cameronand Anthony both race for the car and jump in. Cameron drives away, with Anthony continuing to hold a gun onhim. A car chase ensues; one of the police responders to the chase is Tom Hansen, who recognizes the vehicleas the one he and Ryan pulled over the night before. Cameron drives to a dead end, grabs Anthony's gun, andgets out of the car, all the while yelling insults at the officers. Just before he pulls out the gun, Hansen convinceshim to stop aggravating the situation and just go home. Hansen vouches for Cameron to the other officers, tellingthem that Cameron has no prior history of breaking the law and promising to give him a "harsh" warning. Alldepart. Cameron tells Anthony that as a black man he is embarrassed for him and gives back the gun as hedrops Anthony at a bus stop.
Using the White Pages of the phone book, Farhad locates Daniel's home address and travels there with his gun.As Daniel's wife Elizabeth watches in horror, Farhad shoots at Daniel at point-blank range -- just as Daniel'sdaughter Lara jumps into his arms to protect her father with the "invisible cloak." It takes the grief-strickenparents a moment to realize that Lara is miraculously unharmed; the red box of ammunition that Dorri hadselected contained blanks, rendering Farhad's gun harmless. Farhad later tells his daughter that he believes thatthe little girl was his angel, saving him from committing a terrible crime. Jean is complaining to someone sheknows over the phone that it's not her carjacking or any one thing that's been causing her irritability, that she'sangry every day and doesn't know why. Just after, she slips and falls down a flight of stairs. Later, she talks withRick and it's revealed that she's ok. Peter, who is hitchhiking, is picked up by Hansen. They awkwardly try tobridge the gap between their cultures. Peter sees that Hansen has a small statuette of Saint Christopher, whichhe also has. He begins to laugh as he realizes that there is no difference between the two of them, but Hansenthinks that he is being racist. Peter then pulls his statuette out of his pocket, but Hansen thinks it is a gun andshoots and kills Peter. Hansen dumps the body and then torches his own car in another part of town. Peter isrevealed to be Waters' missing brother. Waters and his mother meet up at the morgue, and Waters promises tofind who is responsible. His mother tells him not to bother, as she blames him for his brother's death. Anthonyreturns to the white van owned by the Asian man that they had run over earlier. Finding the keys still hangingfrom the door lock, he drives the van away. Kim Lee (the Asian woman from the crash at the film's opening)arrives at a hospital looking for her husband Choi Jin Gui, the man Anthony and Peter ran over. Conscious andcoherent, he tells her to go and immediately cash a check that he has in his wallet. Anthony has driven the whitevan to a chop shop he frequents, and as they inspect the van, a number of Asian immigrants are discovered tobe chained and locked in the back of the van, revealing that Choi was, in fact, involved in human trafficking.Anthony is offered $500 for each person in the van.
The last scene of the film shows the white van being parked in Chinatown, where Anthony walks to the back,opens the van, and sets the Asians free. He tells the uncomprehending passengers that "this is America," and hegives $40 to one of the men, telling him to buy everyone some "chop suey" to eat. As Anthony drives away, he

passes a minor crash, which turns out to involve Shaniqua. The film closes as Shaniqua and the other driver,who rear-ended her car, hurl racial insults at one another.

Reception
Critical response
The film was critically acclaimed. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reporting that 148 out of the 196reviews they tallied were positive, for a score of 76% positive reviews and a certification of "fresh," with an
average score of 7.1 out of 10.[4] while Metacritic tallied an average score of 69 out of 100 for Crash 's critical
consensus.[5] Roger Ebert gave the film four-out-of-four stars and described it as "a movie of intense
fascination,"[6] listing it as the best film of 2005. The film also ranks at #460 in Empire 's 2008 poll of the "500
Greatest Films of All Time."[7]
From an alternative perspective, the film has been critiqued for "laying bare the racialized fantasy of theAmerican dream and Hollywood narrative aesthetics," and for depicting the Persian shopkeeper as a "deranged,
paranoid individual who is only redeemed by what he believes is a mystical act of God."[8] The film has alsobeen criticised for using multicultural and sentimental imagery to cover over material and "historically sedimented
inequalities" that continue to affect different racial groups in Los Angeles.[9]
Box office
Crash opened in wide release on May 6, 2005, and was a box-office success in the late spring of 2005. The
film had a budget of $6.5 million (plus $1 million in financing).[2] Because of the financial constraints, directorHaggis filmed in his own house, borrowed a set from the TV show Monk, used his car in parts of the film, and
-

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(2004_film) 5/11
even used cars from other staff members.[citation needed] It grossed $53.4 million domestically, making back
more than seven times its budget.[2] Despite its success in relation to its cost, Crash was the lowest grossing film
at the domestic box office to win Best Picture since The Last Emperor in 1987.[citation needed]
Accolades
Best Picture Oscar
Crash won the Best Picture Oscar at the 78th Academy Awards, controversially beating the critically favoredBrokeback Mountain and making it only the second film ever (the other being The Sting) to win the AcademyAward for Best Picture without having been nominated for any of the three Golden Globe Awards for BestMotion Picture (Best Drama, Best Comedy/Musical and Best Foreign Film).
The film's use of moral quandary as a storytelling medium was widely reported as ironic, since many saw it asthe "safe" choice to Brokeback Mountain. Critic Kenneth Turan suggested that Crash benefited from anti-
homosexual discomfort among Academy members[10][11] while critic Roger Ebert was of a different opinion,arguing that the better film won that year. He went on to question why many critics weren't mentioning the othernominees and that they were just mindlessly bashing Crash merely because it won over Brokeback Mountain.
Ebert also placed Crash on his best ten list as #1 best film of 2005,[12] and correctly predicted it to win Best
Picture.[13]
Film Comment magazine placed Crash first on their list of "Worst Winners of Best Picture Oscars," followed
by Slumdog Millionaire at #2, and Chicago at #3.[14]
Crash was nominated for six awards at the 78th Academy Awards and won three, including the win for BestPicture. It was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, one for Best Supporting Actor (Matt Dillon) and theother for Best Screenplay (Paul Haggis and Robert Moresco).
Other awards include Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the 2005 Screen Actors GuildAwards; Best Original Screenplay at the Writers Guild of America Awards 2005; Best Original Screenplay andBest Supporting Actress (Newton) at the 59th British Academy Film Awards; Best Writer at the Critics' ChoiceAwards; Outstanding Motion Picture and Outstanding Actor in a Leading Role (Howard) at the Black MovieAwards; Best First Feature and Best Supporting Male (Dillon) at the Independent Spirit Awards; Best Cast andBest Writer at the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards; and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a MotionPicture (Howard) and Outstanding Motion Picture at the NAACP Image Awards.
