I watched the movie Crash directed and written by Paul Haggis. This movie is a piece of art that shows cultural diversity and the stereotypes that emerge from each as a result of our upbringing and societal influences. This movie shows the danger of allowing racism to rule our lives. It shows how thinking a certain race is a higher or lower class can damage the entire society as a whole. The movie has a perfect tag line that says, " You think you know who you are. You have no idea." This tag line represents the overall theme of the movie. It shows that even when we don't realize it, we can be judgemental towards other races that can actually change the outcome of events based on our responses and actions. The writer states that although people are born with pure hearts they grow up in their communities to learn prejudice. This is demonstrated by incorporating all races in a way where their lives cross and they are shown how their racist nature hurts not only themselves but the others around them.
