Crash.

The movie Crash is really great because it is really realistic in the way that it portrays racism. Of course, as Sal said, you can't watch the movie literally. When you watch it non-literally, it is really effective. The ways that it shows racism is so relatable. Such as when Sandra Bullock's character is walking with Brendon Fraiser's character. She sees two African-American men and walks closer to him and tightens her grip on his arm. The two men are discussing how racist she is by doing that but then they proceed to car-jack her and her husband! This scene seemed the most realistic to me. Many women feel uncomfortable when there are African-Americans walking toward or near them on a street and the reason they're afraid is because they may do something like car-jacking. Is this racism? I'm not so sure and I think that's the brilliance of this scene. Sandra's character seems racist and the two men feel she's being racist, yet they proceed to steal her car - is this justifying her previous actions? It's so difficult to say because I automatically want to think that she's not racist, but would they have stolen their car if she hadn't reacted to their presence? There have probably been many incidents such as this in the past and I think many people use it to justify their racism because they take their situation and apply it to an entire race, which I do believe is wrong.
Another scene that really affected me was the one with Matt Dillon's character trying to save the woman from the car. She is absolutely terrified by him because he molested her previously. The look on the officer's face shows that he feels terrible for his actions. The woman doesn't even want him to help her save her life - that is how badly the molesting and racism affected her. It seems that the officer didn't realize how badly she'd be impacted by what he did. I loved this scene because it is so relatable! Most people who do or say racist things don't think they're making any difference in anyone's life. However, they are making a HUGE difference. Racism is not to be taken lightly, no matter if someone is molesting someone or telling a joke. It will affect them! It is clear, after this scene, that the officer will never treat another persont he way he treated that woman when he pulled her and her husband over.
