[edit] Danial's daughter

do anyone know her name?The 5 year old gal's awfully cute

I take it that spelling and grammar is not your strong point.

To say the least.

Check imdb.

Her name is Lara, it's on a sign on her bedroom door!

[edit] Description of Sandra Bullock's Character

I find it problematic that Sandra Bullock's character is described as paranoid of people who are from other races. Why beat around the bush? She, like most other characters in the movie, display some racist and prejudiced behaviors. Why dress it up as paranoia?

Uh - because she's paranoid?

[edit] Director's Response to Criticisms?

I was curious to know if anyone knows if the director of the film has commented or responded to the criticisms of his film. Are his stereotypical and ignorant portrayals of certain racial groups / characters intentional, or was he unaware of this? And what about that scene where the white cop becomes a hero and saves the black woman that he had molested a while back? Was this scene meant to show that "even white cop molesters can rise up to the occasion", or was that scene meant to simply show the unexpected; to show the cop's internal struggles? I think many criticisms can be addressed (or proven to be true) if the director himself responds to them.

[edit] Beautiful People

A while ago i saw this movie called Beautiful People (1999), This was after seeing Crash. And i must say they are really close to one another. Let me explain. Both movie spin around the same lets call it 'solid center'. Erm, i actually wrote a kinda hefty explanation fallowing this text but it didnt make any sens at all if you havent seen the movie Beatiful People. So my adivice is, and hint, is to see Cra... i mean Beatiful People and compare them both. This will make you see that crash is a good adaption of the brittish film Beatiful People. Crash is more mainstream, more American, but the 'solid center', and now im going to say it, barrowed from Beatiful People really does good in the movie. Some would probably say it did more good in Crash then Beatiful People. Just some thoughts and a recomendation. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159272/

Another one with spelling etc as a strong point.

[edit] Farhad or Farhaad?

I'm seeing to different spellings for his name throughout this article. Are they both correct or should it be changed to one version for continuity? Dissith (talk) 05:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
