2.- Did you like the movie ? Why? Yes ‚ I liked it especially because of the unorthodox storyline and how it examines the racial tensions that are still alive today.

The negative psychological effects of racism in the world are significant. Racism poisons our society through the unnecessary and recessive hate and ignorance it brings upon us. The movie “Crash”‚ directed by Paul Haggis‚ shows us how racism can sneak up on you and subconsciously affect your decisions and the way you act throughout day-to-day life. Even the best of people can incidentally succumb to racism‚ as exemplified by Officer Tommy Hansen‚ played by Ryan Phillipe. Officer Tommy shoots Larenz
