Sociological Analysis Of The Movie Crash
Crash is a film unlike most other films. It takes a group of people, less than 15 main characters, and actually presents a somewhat realistic representation of race relationships. The movie Crash is chock full of sociological concepts, examining issues of race, social class, and gender, as well as many others. Crash is one of those movies that make us rethink even what we think we know about the world we live in. All of the ethnic groups are striving for one thing, to over come their fears as they crisscross in and out of other people’s lives.
Throughout this movie, we discover what the characters in this movie think about each other. The best example of this in the movie might be when Jean Cabot grips her purse when passing by Anthony …show more content…
We first see him with Peter, walking through a predominantly white neighborhood and they cannot seem to find somewhere to eat or go because they are African American. This starts to annoy Anthony. Peter asks what is bothering him so much and Anthony goes on his rant about them being black and how they should be scared in the white neighborhood, not the other way around. Just as he is almost done, Jean and her husband start walking up. I believe Jean was looking for something in her purse and was getting cold so she grabbed onto her husband to get warm. Anthony, taking it the wrong way, uses this as a prime example to Peter. Soon after, Anthony and Peter steal the couples car and drive away. In a later scene, Anthony and Peter run over a Chinese man. Anthony wants to just drive away, thinking that no one will know. Peter convinces him to drop him off at a nearby hospital. From that scene we can see Anthony is starting to change a little. By the end of the movie, he comes across a big white van and steals it. He tries to sell it to a friend, but they soon find out that there are illegal Chinese immigrants in the back. His friend tries to buy the people and not the car instead. Anthony then takes the van and the people back to where they were and sets them
