What Is The Theme Of The Movie Crash

The film Crash is directed by Paul Haggis. The movie is giving the audience an idea about the city of Los Angeles (L.A), the people that live in L.A, the difference in culture. This difference led to a lot of conflicts throughout the film. The film also links to worldwide in many different ways, such as racism.

Another example of racism is Shaniqua Johnsen, a black African American woman, gets involved in a car accident.

This shows the conflict between the cultures in L.A and how Shaniqua Johnsen won’t speak to the Asian driver unless he is American. People like the Asian driver and Kim Lee and all over the world, experiencing racism but they forced to live in this society because they have kids to raise, word to run,
