1. I feel like the film crash was an excellent portrayal of the differences of race in America today. It shows the people 'behind their race' and who they really are. And it just added more reason to always remember the phrase, "Don't judge a book by it's cover."
2. I do feel that the film makers did a good job of giving equal coverage to each race and ethnicity in the film. He showed, throughout the two days, what everyone was doing and what they had to go through being the race they were. They also showed who the people were vs. the other races and how they felt about them.
3. The most important lesson a person should take away from the screening of CRASH is that there is always a story behind people and you should never judge a person by their appearance. All that matters about a person is what is on the inside. It is shown in this film through the people and how they react in the different situations with the different races and ethnicity's that they encountered throughout the two days.
1.)i have concluded that the film Crash was an excellent portrayal of the different races in America today. i think it really captured the essence of what America really is made of underneath it all.
2.) the film makers did an adequate job of covering each race and ethnicity equally in the film. i felt the spent time on things that time needed to be spent on. i also liked how all of the people tied into one another.
3.) the most important lesson that can be taken away from the film Crash is that everyone has some sort of affect on everyone. weather it is directly or not directly. every action that you do has a reaction to follow and sometimes it is a good one and other times it is not. it is all depending on what you do.
1.) I think that the film is definitely an accurate portrayal of the differences in race in America today. This movie showed how people actually are underneath everything. It shows how certain people reacted to other race and ethnicities.
2.) I do think that the film makers did a good job of giving equal coverage to each face and ethnicity in the film. In the movie it showed how different races act to one another. The movie showed every race and ethnicity and didn't just dwell on one of them.
3.) The most important lesson a person should take away from the movie CRASH is, everyone has an effect on at least one race, that's not your own. You also learn that people can change from what they are. They could hate a race or ethnicity and then later on like them or help them out.
1. I don't think that the film so much as portrayed differences between the races so much as the similarities between the races. I think that what CRASH's aim is, is that everyone is stereotyped at one point or another in their lives. I think that it featured how each person, no matter what race, deals with obstacles, and it's how you go about those obstacles that makes you a good/stronger person.
2. I think that the film makers did cover each race and ethnicity well. Every race that comes to my mind was included in the film. What I wonder is why the roles were so stereotypical of each race? Was it to point out how stupid those beliefs are? Moreover was there any significance as to the choice in what people in a race turned good, while the people in other races turned bad?
3. I think that the most important lesson from CRASH is that every person's actions are based off of their situational environment. You can't only blame a person's attitude or color for their behavior. I think it tells the audience to avoid "crashing" into others, but simply learn to live in harmony without any prejudice.
1) After viewing the Academy award winning fim CRASH I think this film showed an accurate portrayal of the differences in race in America today. I feel this way because this movie showed how and what people thought about other people because of certain stereotypes that were taught to them somehow. Even though this mmovie shows how some people could take stereotypes dangerously, I also know that this could be untaught.
2) Yes, I do believe that the film makers did a good job of giving equal coverage to each race and ethnicity in the film. Throughout the film all the ethnicities were shown equally and what kinds of troubles they go through because of certain stereotypes. It portrayed how each ethnicity reacted towards others, which was very important to see. This film just gave a better example of what could happen and did happen in the past and future just because of stereotypes.
3) The most important lesson a person should take away from the screening of CRASH is don't judge a person by his or her skin color or stereotypes that you hear from other people. One should always react by their own experiences, but not by what other people say or do.
