[quote=LEOPOLD219,239940]The Oscar Best Motion Picture "Crash" stirs a sensation in US. This movie is praised for its realistic theme. It touches upon a sensitive but long-lasting topic: racial discrimination.

Under the director-Haggis' microscope, racial prejudice is like a cancerous tumor,once triggered, it spreads very quickly and damages other cells of body.In the movie, the tumors of racial discrimination show  up in people from all walks of life. The racist cop Jack Ryan victimizes the black couple, Cameron and Christine, by exercising his power and humiliates Christine with an invasive body search, while her husband is forced to stand by powerless. 
       
     Jean Cabot, a racist wife of a local attorney, has a strong prejudice against minorities. Her prejudice originates from the carjack incident by the two young black men. After the incident, she becomes paranoid and suspious of other races, and suspects the Mexican locksmith Daniel will give their new keys to his friend to break into her house. Her antagonism against minorities make her lose her temper without any justified reasons. Everyone in the movie seems to act in a racist manner toward each other.  These characters turn a trivial disagreement into antagonism or hatred, which in turn messed up their own lives.
       
       After watching this movie for the first time, I was deeply touched into tears. This movie is reflective. Actually, in our daily lives, we all have a certain prejudice against others, and very often, we are prone to turn a trivial disagreement or dispute into antagonism. No one is infallibe, and prejudice is everywhere.  Usually, we claim that we don't have any prejudice against others. Is it true?  In fact, we have, sometimes we are just unwilling to identify it.
