CRASH
I just finished watching “CRASH”, and I am not at all surprised why the movie was nominated for n number of Oscars. It is the bestest movie ever made, and yes that seems like a very bold declaration, but there is no other way of categorizing it.
Crash was supposed to be a drama, describing racial discrimination in the great United states of America, whites exploiting the blacks, and blacks exploiting the white. It brought out a lot of issue’s like how there is this general prejudice against black men, that they are up to no good, stemming from the well known fact that statistically speaking many of these small time criminals are black. And how due to this the dark skinned community goes through trial each and every day, and I can imagine how it must kill them, to know, that they are not trusted!!!
But personally I think, the movie isn’t just about that. It has explained something called “Circle of life” in the perfect way possible. Whatever you give out to others, will eventually come back to you. And this is so true, that sometimes it seems so unfair. I am sure, all of this might seem like mindless rumbling, but I urge each one of you to go watch the movie, because it makes you think, about all the things you take for granted. It also re affirms your faith in the human kind. We are all very nice people. We all feel happy, when we do something good, even if it is something very small, And you aren’t really looking for appreciation, you just feel good about yourself after an act like that. It might be something really small as giving your seat to an old woman in a crowded bus.
I know I am not doing justice to the movie, by this small write up, but I really really want every one to experience the phenomenon called “Crash”. Please do go watch it.
I felt the song from “Lion king”, sung by Elton John came very much closer to what I was trying to say,
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life.
