Crash

For Chirstmas my wife bought me/us a DVD player for our bedroom. With three kids in the house our grown-up movie time has been pretty limited. We really haven't seen anything that's come out in the last three or four years. So we signed up for Netflix to try and catch up, and our first movie appeared in the mail: Crash.

Roger Ebert thought it was a movie about racism. My wife thought it was about racism. My impression was somewhat different. Obviously racism played a large part in the movie, but I thought it was really speaking about Buddhism. Crash was showing how love and hate, happiness and sadness intertwine with a series of similarly intertwined vignettes. Such a good movie.
