When Crash won the Oscar for Best Picture, I remember thinking about how homos everywhere would be screaming about how they were robbed of what they deserved for being gay. Then homos everywhere screamed about how they were robbed of what they deserved because they were gay. Everywhere you looked you saw people commenting on how Crash was a way for the Academy to look hip and cool but still hate homos. So many people said it, it had to be true! Then I saw Crash for myself.
Don't get me wrong, Brokeback was sad and twisted, and all together horribly moving. It was also incredibly boring, and the slowest moving movie I have ever seen. It was like Titanic in the sense that you knew that there was no happy ending, and you were just scratching nails on a chalkboard waiting until it happened. I loved how it was directed, and acted out. I just didn't enjoy the story itself so much.
I loved Crash. From the very beginning to the very end, I loved every moment of the movie. It was completely and totally the kind of movie that I would love. I loved how the story played out, with all the ironies. I loved how the storylines all tied together so perfectly. Most of all I loved just how much it told you that yes, life really is a big bitch.
I really liked this movie too - I don't think it deserved to win BEST PICTURE though;
I mean it was pretty powerful and whatever, but I felt like it was almost too overexaggerated. Is that how people are really in the states? I sure hope not.
And the ending just left you like ... "Now what..." ...
The story was cool because everyone was all intertwined and the acting was excellent, but I still don't think it deserved such a super award.
I'm sure Walk The Line was better.
