Negative Positive
Title: "....And the Oscar goes to.........'Crap'!...er....'Crash'!"
Review: I think previous (negative) reviews have said it all. While the film is ambitious in scope, well-shot, intricately staged...nicely lit, it ultimately fails to communicate anything except the screenwriter's and director's stilted, unevolved, often sophomoric understanding of race relations.I think I showed remarkable restraint in not walking out of the theater when in one of the opening scenes we were bombarded with the most brain-dead, too-stupid-to-even-be-called-insulting derogatory racial stereotypes I have been exposed to since the 7th grade. Really, a police detective making fun of a Chinese woman's inability to pronounce her "L's" and "R's"? Wow, if that passes for deep commentary on 21st Century race relations I guess I had learned all I needed to know about the topic around time I had to get used to a school day without recesses.
Is the review positive or negative?
