Crash

After viewing the film “Crash,” which was written, directed and

produced by Paul Haggis, please write a 3-4 page paper that attempts to

correlate some of the major themes/ideas depicted in the film with some of

the ideas we have been exploring together in class.

This is to be a reflection paper, not a seemingly brilliant total analysis;

do not go to websites and plagiarize others critiques of the film! Do not

simply retell the story!

As you discuss the film in your writing, I would like you to think about

some of the following ideas as played out in the film:

-how do different social groups and identification with a particular

group impact upon ones’ vie w of the world, one’s expectations about

what the world has in store for you, how you treat others and/or expect

others to treat you?

– how do some of the characters in the film struggle against and/or

accept what appears to them to be inevitable? Where does “free will” or

individual experience , drive, motivation fit into this?

– do any of the characters work or attempt to work independently of

their own group and social pressure? What happens? Why?

-what is the role of historical moment and social/cultural context in

the lives of the film’s characters?

– what did you see or think about in the film that was surprising? That

had a special impact upon you? Have you been affected or changed in a

particular way?

– Is there something in your own life’s narrative that correlates to the

film in an especially compelling way?
