Crash
Crash is the film that I am considering to work with this semester. I first saw this film a couple months ago and really had an impact on me. Crash helps the audience be exposed to pretty much all forms of racism that are present in the world. Not only does this film expose these various types of racism, but makes the audience sympathize and really understand what it is like to live in that character's shoes. One of the most important points of the film is that everyone at some point in their lives will feel stereotyped against. Check out this link that shows clips from the movie, which exposes all the different characters in the film.

Crash
Corrigan uses the recent hit film Crash as a reference in his book. I for one had seen the film, but for those who haven't, here is some background information.
Crash is a great film, in my opinion. The way that the different parts of the film are brought together was great. Throughout the film, different forms of racism take place. It didn't matter what race, ethnicity, or even social class the character came from. At one time or another, each character has to come to recognize their racist beliefs, and they have to face those problems head on. I for one was impressed with the way the film turned out.
The link that I have posted leads to a brief overview of the film and its plotline according to www.imdb.com. There are also links to a trailer as well as trivia about the film.
