Crash is a movie that can’t accurately be described. There is no start-middle-end like most movies. It’s an ensemble peice, and while this usually conjures up images of movies like Love Actually, where there’s a connection, however tenuous, between all the characters, in Crash there isn’t.

(gee, did you see that coming? not me, coz, totally…) *ahem* Let’s structure this. And let you in on what I’m doing - no deletes in this post, just restatements. You get to see my thought process. Which obviously isn’t as structured as this, because I added this after writing some lines below. That are after the cut. ...
