James and Tifarah Crash Questions.

CRASH Questions

1.The scene of Don Cheadle’s brother in the car with Hensen was one of the uncomfortable moments in the film.It was very awakward setting with the car jacker brother and a cop, as well as the total awkward feeling of the conversation.

2. We picked Tom Hensan as the person we can relate to because he was the only one who wasn’t racist, and among the rest he was a very cool headed character.

3.I personally thought the movie was an amazing piece of cinema. From the first scene it gripped me and made me feel so many emotions. The most powerful emotion i felt was anger during the scene of Hansen molesting Christine during the stop. But also compassion for the mexican father (could not remember his name sorry) because it made my heart flutter with warmth. So i’ve said my piece on this my partner has her thoughts on this. what tifarah personally thought about Crash was that it touched on on things other then racism. But it also showed the daily struggles between those in poverty and those in wealth. It brings out the gap between the poor and the wealthy in society.

A.We felt it did an amazing job of dealing with the fact of racism. Because it didn’t just focus on the racism of white people but also had african american racist that were racist towards other african americans. and even had sandra bullock as a latina who thought asians were horrible drivers.

B.The biggest inter-racial prejudice part was Ryan stopped Terrance and his wife because he thought he saw a white girl blowing a black man. This was much of the inter-racial prejudice in the film but was the biggest statement in it.

C.We believe it all leads to a day when the “minorities” will have had enough and rise up against the police and “white power structure” of the city for themselves.
