Last evening i saw a Charlie Rose interview with Terrence Howard and I decided to watch "Crash" again, this for the third time. I have come to believe that it is a masterpiece. It's like a giant slap in the face followed by a bucket of ice water in the face. It brings out the bigotry and racism in us all while showung that we are all a mixture of good and bad, black and white. Yes, the coincidences are there and a little preposterous but they serve the film's point of view. I found each time I watched it to be very moving.
