Crash...And Slightly Burnt


Is Paul Haggis's 2004 Best Picture Oscar Winner "Crash";-

a/ A thought provoking, multiple character study of racism, in all it's different forms, as it exists in contemporary America?

b/ A bunch of very unlikable people, being unlikable...and perhaps learning something about themselves and each other in the process.

Brilliantly written and solidly directed by Paul Haggis. But why this got the best picture nod over Munich, Good Night & Good Luck and Brokeback Mountain is beyond me.
Worthy, but hard to like.
