Three Oscar winning awards; best picture, best original screenplay and best editing, the movie "Crash". This movie talks about racial, ethnic and class relations in Los Anglos, a city that is epicenter of such tensions. This movie has some very distinguished cast, where they all lived in LA, and their lives collide unexpectedly and violently over forty-eight hour period.

Crash is a movie which deals with race, stereotype and ethnic cast of character's who struggles to overcome their fears as they careen in and out of another’s lives. At the beginning of the movie, the story is not related and unstructured, but gradually it turns to two young men carry out a car-jack in a classy suburb; a store owner attempts to buy a gun to protect himself and two police officers stop a well-dressed couple. This movie makes us think that racism is an important issue; most of us may have faced some discrimination because of our religion, ethnic, or color. We have to overcome this discrimination, because there is no disparity between mankind, and also, all religions prohibited discrimination among people for any reason.
There are several factors that can change our believes and thoughts, like films, friends, and family. Each factor has its own way to change someone’s thought, but it depends how we react and deal with these factors. As for films, many films have changed people’s thoughts and believe, such as Passion of Christ, Men of Honour and Crash. Almost every one of us has watched a film, and in a way or another, people adapt what happens in films in their own life. Films sometimes show some real life stories, and people get affected by them, and even if it is not a real life story, the story itself has many examples and instances that people adapt in their own life. For example, a man shoots her wife after watching an Indian film, Khabi Alvida Na Kehna, because she refused to let him marry again. This was not a true life story, but people accepted and adapted the story in their lives in a negative way. Therefore, people get affected by movies, either in a negative way or positive.
In conclusion, I can say that the movie has mentioned a very crucial issue in LA society, but also in many other different societies in the world. People should overcome this racism by love and companionship between society’s members.
