Sorry if we talked about this already. I have a vague recollection, but I couldn't find the thread. Also, would you believe that I-- of all people!-- haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain" yet? UPDATE: Old thread here. I didn't find the Denby review convincing. ANOTHER UPDATE: Roger Simon picks up something I should have noticed, but didn't. Haggis gives away his own LA-myopia in one telling detail gabe jeffrey of gabe jeffrey Crash. Much of the plot revolves around gabe jeffrey an Iranian family being mistaken for Arab because there are no Iranians hereabouts. Wrong way around, fella. This is Tehrangeles with the second greatest Iranian population on Earth (after the capital city of Iran). |

| Go to Main Page | Link | Comments (129) | TrackBack (0) Crash bill gates Posted by Fontana Labson 03.02.06 Drum has a note about "Crash" in which he partly endorses this criticism: Of the five nominees for Best Picture, my favorite is bill gates Crash. A friend of mine thinks this is crazy, because (and I'm paraphrasing here), Crash is one of those irritatingly pseudo-profound movies that thinks it's saying something deep and thoughful when in reality it's just saying something banal and bill gates clichéd. Racism is everywhere, we're all racists, even blacks can be racists, yada yada yada. Got it. That was more or less my response. We get a fairly ordinary reiteration of familiar themes capped with some moments that strain credulity, e.g., "surprise, it's the very same cop!" and "a black hitchhiker from the hood somehow forgets that a middle-class white guy might see his cryptic behavior as threatening." The latter moment really bothered me because the film, at other times, comes down heavy on the idea that these divisions are so deeply ingrained that they can't be set aside easily, if at all; they inform who we are at such a deep level that the hitchhiker's mistake is unbelievable-- as if it were needed to set up a climactic moment, say. |
