Hmmm. So all the 'technical qualities' are fine,

does that just leave the film's message? It's not exactly subtle-technology, and our (human's) place within that context. If it's the sex you're concerned about, see above-have the technological marvels we've created stripped us of even our most deeply ingrained feelings and desires? My synopsis is simplistic, and I'm not saying I agree with any of it, but I thought Cronenberg did an admirable job with a really, really tough novel to put to film. It ain't 'E.T'-actual thought required.

BTW, the novel's author was J.G. Ballard, whose early life was depicted in Spielberg's 'Empire of the Sun'. Maybe that fixation with the P-51 Mustang was a harbinger to 'Crash'. The guy's brilliant. I think (not sure) that he's suffering from a terminal cancer, and desperately trying to finish his last book.
