Crash

When we were in Idan’s living room watching TV, we saw the ad of the film, Crash. Natassa said it was good, and Elli said it’s depressing. I couldn’t help wonder how the movie is.

I watched it yesterday and found it’s interesting, though maybe include a bit depression.

It talks about racial discrimination. It mainly focuses on black-white racial problem though it also tackles with the “crash” among different races such as White (mainly American), Asian, Black, Middle East, Caribbean, etc, and also the “crash” in relationships.

When involved with races, situation turns complicated easily. The more we try to “do the right thing”, the more we feel contradictory and discrepant. What is “fair” and what is “right”? The problems originate from not only languages, cultures, and lifestyle but also where (e.g. which country) people chose to live.

As we chose to “migrate” (or go) to where we don’t belong to (at least not originally), the problem is inevitably coming to us.
It can’t be denied that we all more or less have “discrimination” against some people or some aspects. Sometimes it’s because of some deep rooted perception of stereotypes of …whatever they are. However, who and by what “educated” us to form the perception?

When some sacrifices are needed to achieve “equal status” and “fair”, should we make concessions? Forget “what is right” for a sec!?

We must be aware that what matters is sincerity and genuine when dealing with relationships (either friendship or love…). However, when will we trust, respect, and treat equally other people who don’t look like “us”?
