Crash written and directed by Paul Haggis tells the story of several individuals from different backgrounds and races who crash into each other. The film depicts the prejudice and racism that all humans carry within them, even if we think this is not the case. The film takes place over a thirty-six hour period in which all the charters intertwine and learn lessons they thought they could never learn. The prosecutor and his wife, both white, are victims of a carjacking perpetrated by two black men. The husband then wants to use it to advance his political career while his wife accuses the man who changes their locks of being part of a gang. Two Caucasian police officers clash as one of them uses his authority to unnecessarily stop a movie. Throughout the movie run, this is one of the most prominent themes. The film shows that racism is not one-sided since the characters themselves are Caucasian, black, Persian, Iranian and Hispanic. The film shows that racial assumptions are not simply something that exists, but rather that society constructs these prejudices and ideas. This is seen when the prosecutor, wanting to advance his political career, thinks he can just honor a black man or woman. He suggests that a firefighter whose secretary informs him is actually Iraqi. He responds by saying, "Well, he looks black." Even before knowing a person's true race and identity, society can put up walls. The cops also arrest the couple because one believes they are biracial and he thinks it's not true. In reality, both people are black, with one having a lighter complexion. The race and racism that the film shows limits one's ability to meet new individuals and not rush to judgments because they probably aren't true. By not taking the time to get to know the person, we only look at them at face value. Essentially, we judge the book by its cover if we learn about the journey the person has taken. Although race can say a lot about an individual, their personal experiences and values ​​say more. After the fact, many characters suffer consequences due to their rush to judgment. The policeman shoots an innocent man because after arresting him, he believes the man is making fun of him. The cop doesn't think a black man could like country music, even if he really does. The crash of the title fuels this moral because the characters don't look at the outcome; instead, they run around and crash into lives without realizing the mess they are leaving behind. Another interesting scene is when the black detective calls his Mexican partner, she gets frustrated and says my mothers from El Salvador and my fathers from Puerto Rico, neither place is Mexico. He assumes from her appearance that she is from Mexico without knowing her heritage or her family's background. The characters realize that they need to feel sympathy for each other, because no matter what they look like outwardly, they all have a feeling of sympathy.
