1. Introduction
The movie Crash mainly tells us veral stories occurred in Los Angeles
among some leading roles participating in a car crash about the topic of
racial discrimination. It is a film linked with the backgrounds of the Los
Angeles’s culture cloly. As we all know, Los Angeles is covered with
immigrants from various countries. Different cultures bump into each
other and this may make big influence on our daily life. There are many
conflicts between the blacks and whites, or even the Asian people.
2. Body
The racial discrimination in this film is obvious. Crash is a film linked
with the background of the Los Angeles’ culture. As we all know that Los
Angeles is a city which covered with people from many countries. People
from different countries have different culture background. This film told
us veral stories which happened among American, black people,
Mexican and Persian. At the beginning of the film, there are two black
people walking in the street. One of the black young man said, “It’s just
black people demeaning other black people, using that word (negro) over
and over. Have you ever heard white people calling each other “honky”
all the time?” From his words, we can e he has a prejudice against
white people, like the blacks are biad by the whites. As Jean (the two
black men steeled her car) said, “…it was my fault becau I knew it was
gonna happen. But if a white person es two black men walking towards
her and she turns and walks away, she’s a racist, right?” If you know the
history of America, you’ll understand why there has prejudice between
American and Black people.
As the action of the black youth, he was too nsitive with the world
which led by the white people. He hated to be discriminated by the white
people, at the same time, his lf discrimination is innate. When faced
with the problem of racial discrimination, we not only need to think about
the discriminators, but also need to think tho who were discriminated.
We can’t always criticize the discriminators, becau there has many
social and historical reasons behind it. What’s more, how to face the
reality for the people who were be discriminated is a problem can’t be
ignored. When the young man met the black director, the director said to
him, “You should feel ashamed.” It is uttered a clear point of view, that is,
people should respect themlves first and then you will gain the respect
from others.
The black director cho to swallow insult and humiliation silently after
his wife was humiliated by the white policeman. It is illustrated that the
director accepted the assimilation in the world led by the white people.
He has a high social position in this world; he is the beneficiary of this
world, so he obeys the rules of the game. When his wife asked him why
he kept silent, his told his wife that is becau the policemen have guns.
But in the fact, he was not being subdued by the gun, but subdued by the
psychology that he was discriminated. When he was stopped by the
policemen cond time, although he feared the policemen, he proceed
without hesitation to get off. He vented his dissatisfaction with the long
hidden depression. Finally, the young policeman helped him returned his
car safely. He was not won the dignity, but the awakening of himlf.
3. Conclusion
The film depicts the cultural conflict and ethnic conflict. The white
people want to respect colored people, but they discriminate against the
blacks in their heart. The policeman said, “In any real city, you walk, you
know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody
touches you. We’re always behind this mental and glass. I think we miss
that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel
something.” Communication between people and people become more
and more difficult. We all know that communication is important, but
they didn’t know how to deal with it. And the complex society will make
people can’t face the life simply. As the song in the film, “So maybe
tomorrow, I’ll find my way home”, the people who “crashed” each other
will find the way to home.
