Crash

STEP 1: THE TITLE: CRASH

The introductory monologue pretty much summarizes most of what happens in this movie.  People in L:A: move back and forth in their cars, without any kind of human contact.  They need to collide in order to make that necessary human contact everybody needs.

1.    WHAT DOES THE TITLE CRASH MEAN?

STEP 2: THE OPENING MONOLOGUE

1. (2.51 – 5.54) Read the opening monologue.

Graham has just crashed.   

The car is now stopped.   

This is what he says:

“It's the sense of touch. Any real city, you walk, you know?, you brush past people. 

People bump into you.

In L.A., nobody touches you.  We're always behind this metal and glass.

I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just so that we can feel 

something.”

1.1.*Discuss the meaning of these words. 

The persons must have the touch with others persons.

 1.2.*How do you think the woman sitting right next to him (the driver) is going to respond to this?

Because there are too much people in LA this problem effect the touch of the people.

 1.3.The woman sitting next to Graham leaves the car and goes to where the police officer and the other driver are.  What kind of problem do you perceive in the conversation you hear?  

The principal problem is the racism.

 A kind of problem they have the different race when convince together. You can see this problem in the film with Anthony and Peter

 the film website

STEP 3: WRITING A SUMMARY

Write down the characters' names
and the different stories in the film.

Graham Waters and His partner Ria: They're investigating a crime scene.

Farhad a Persian owner and his daughter Dorri: They've a shop. Farhad buy a revolver. Farhad has a door broken and he call a locksmith. The locksmiths tell to him that he have to change the door. Farhad didn't change the door and they attack his shop.

Anthony and Peter: They're car jackers.

Daniel Ruiz: Is a locksmith and try to fix Farhad's locker.

John Ryan and Tom Hansom: They're policeman.

Rick Cabot and Jean: Anthony and Peter stole his car.

STEP 4: WRITING THE  STORY

Several characters' stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles: a black  detective estranged from his mother; his criminal younger brother and gang associate; the White District Attorney and his irritated and pampered wife; a racist white police officer who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner; a Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the officer; a Persian-immigrant father who is wary of others; and a Hispanic locksmith. The film differs from many other films about racism in its rather impartial approach to the issue. Rather than separating the characters into victims and offenders, victims of racism are often shown to be racist themselves in different contexts and situations. Also, racist remarks and actions are often shown to stem from ignorance and misconception rather than a malicious personality.
