I just saw Crash last night and I must say I wasn't impressed. Which is a shame because I thought the movie had something special about it but it was ruined.
I liked the interaction between all those stories and characters and thought the way Haggis explored the conflict of feelings between all of them was quite brilliantly done! The interpretations were mostly really good also.
But then I think he lost it because he tried to give it too much that tragedy feeling which had no reason to be since the tragedy was already there.. so he did that ridiculous last scene "à la Magnolia" with the song playing loud and clear and showing all the characters in their suffering or feeling better about themselves.. I think Haggis went for the easy way of touching people. But I don't think he needed that.
Sorry about my English.
