**dj_hobbes** · 07-19-2009, 09:02 PM

So I'm kind of in a crunch right now working on other schoolwork.

I will PayPal anyone $15 for writing me a 800-word paper on a specific movie.
The movie is CRASH, w/ Matt Dillon, Ludacris, Sandra Bullock....

Here are the requirements:
-Critical Review
-Use analytical skills to evaluate.
-Brief summary of the story
-Statement of the directors intentions and results (Thesis)
-Identify themes
-Provide your opinion of the film and substantiate your view by using specific support from the film for your evidence.

I need this done by tomorrow.

I would do it for a quick $15, but I have not seen the movie... and having to watch the movie (which has Sandra Bullock in it and therefore, cannot be good) no longer makes it a quick $15 :D Makes it a long $15 :D

Haha!
It is actually a very good movie... has a star studded cast. Even though it has Sandra Bullock in it.
It's a movie about racism and stereotyping.

While I don't condone the request in this thread, the movie Crash is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen....

It is awesome how the circle goes in that movie.. Awesome!

"The Cloak. He didn't have the magic cloak."

I can't not tear up during that scene... And my heart is overcome with the flipped car scene...

***Spoilers Below***

I personally did not care for the movie. I felt that the stereotypes portrayed were too cliche'ish. Black men that steal cars, white women that abuse housekeepers, pig cops, District Attornies that are willing to walk over anyone, Persians that feel that everyone is cheating them, black men afraid of commitment, etc.

I did, however, like how the director left the characters very open-ended. We could not expect how the person was going to react to any given situation (like when the racist cop was trying to save the director's wife in the car). By not being able to expect a certain reaction from the character, we in turn think about how we may react. And in doing so, we may confront some of our racial bias and prejudice.

I feel that the only "good" characters were the director and his wife and the locksmith. But even then, I wonder if the locksmith is the one that tore up the Persian's store. I like to think that it wasn't. And I wonder if Ludacris's character might go straight after being told off by the director and setting the slaves free. Is he a changed man and will he follow is own advice?

Anyway, the OP got his essay. Not sure if he is going to like it since it's 4am and I am shot :| If he does, its $25 for me :D
