CRASH, a Paul Haggis movie
STEP 1: THE TITLE: CRASH
The
introductory monologue pretty much summarizes most of what happens in
this movie. People in L:A: move back and forth in their cars, without
any kind of human contact. They need to collide in order to make that
necessary human contact everybody needs.
1. WHAT DOES THE TITLE CRASH MEAN?
I think the film is called crash because sooner or later allthe characters in the film suffer an emotional shock.
STEP 2: THE OPENING MONOLOGUE
1. (2.51 – 5.54) Read the opening monologue.
Graham has just crashed.
The car is now stopped.
This is what he says:
“It's the sense of touch. Any real city, you walk, you know?, you brush past people.
People bump into you.
In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass.
I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just so that we can feel
something.”
1.1.*Discuss the meaning of these words: I think he is saying taht the people feels sad and bad
and all of them need to feel something different. I think he is comparing with each others.
1.2.*How do you think the woman sitting right next to him (the driver) is going to respond to this?
I think she is going to feel bad for him and she's going to comfort him.
1.3.The woman sitting next to Graham leaves the car and goes to where the police officer and
the other driver are. What kind of problem do you perceive in the conversation you hear?
Choose one and explain.
- an age gap problem
- a racial issue
- tension due to unsolved problems these two women had before
Its a racial issue because the chines woman told to the other mexican, and she response taht
her parents were from Mexico or some latin place but she was from here...
