Crash Movie Analysis

What did I learn from the movie “Crash?” A lot. One lesson I learned is not to judge a book by its cover. For example, in the movie, Sandra Bullock’s character was afraid of and distrustful of her Latino locksmith because he was bald and had tattoos.

His cop friends pull him out of the car before it explodes but he goes back in to save the woman and they both escape in the nick of time before the car
