It is definitely not a fun movie to watch. It's one of those films that makes you think about life in general and leaves that sort of heavy lingering feeling after the film.
When I heard about this film, I wanted to watch because Sandra Bullock is part of it. Reading its review, I found out that there are a number of actors in this not really big film and in which they play major roles with not much exposures.
This film just proves that life is indeed connected. That there are things in people's lives that happen for some reason or another. We do stuff that we may not know will eventually have that ripple effect not only on us but on other people, even those we are remotely connected. There are situations in life where we have to go on. There are realities we have to face that somehow a person who has wronged us will eventually crash with our lives and vice-versa. And even though how much we try to be good in the things we do, there are mistakes, even fatal ones, which would destroy us. There are things we can control and there are those which we could not. And if we fail in those some things that we do, it turns out that it was meant for the best.
After watching the film, I realized that it had that Mystic River effect in me. And as I checked the cover, one comment was that "it was easily the strongest film after Mystic River". I could be a film critic then!
Crash is not necessarily a favorite in the sense that I would watch it over and over and memorize its lines. It is that kind of movie that I will always like for it has made a mark on the way I live, living a life crashing with other people lives everyday.
