Crash

Crash had to be one of the only films I've seen that really shows you how real life can be, and the delivery by every actor make this one of the best films to show the portrayal of this. To reiterate, the acting was the driver of this movie, without this the movie would have surely failed. For instance, when Sandra Bullock and Brendan Fraser are standing in their house after they had been car-jacked, she stares him in the face while repeating that she would like him to have the locks changed. Her persona shows that she is afraid and constantly upset, which drives her to the decisions she makes. Each time she repeats herself her tone of voice grows more harsh and angered. This is much unlike that of stage acting, where people must focus on the speed, pitch, and volume of their lines make a world of difference. This is relevant in any type of art performed on stage, and by doing so they decrease the amount of realism. Going back to the original point that the acting drove this film, each word was chosen very carefully. The expression on their face and the word (regardless if it is complicated or simple) emphasized greatly on what the character was really saying. Even a week later, I'm still thinking of different parts of the movie and how I see some of those situations on a much smaller scale throughout my daily life. That being said, I would recommend this movie to anyone who wanted a movie to make them think.
