...especially to those who like to be hectored, to assuage their "liberal guilt"."It brings out the bigotry and racism in us all." Speak for yourself, rico! In me it brings out disgust at at the flat and unsympatheric and shallow characters: a pair of "profound" car-jackers, a "bigoted" cop (typically Irish, wouldn'tya know?) who after getting his rocks off harrassing a black woman later crawls into a burning car to save her (the irony!), a Christ-like locksmith whose daughter is just barely saved from destruction (thank you, Father!) by an enraged Iranian (Irish, Iranian, can't trust 'em...). And so it goes, the whole contrived affair that makes white people feel righteous about confronting their "racism".
One critic called Crash "a simmering racial drama." And there you have it: A middlebrow classic.
