brillers. of course, the critique of this critique is its investment in a black and white paradigm, when the film offers eually problematic portrayals of latinas (specifically the unproblematized sexualization and underdevelopment of the police officer) and asians (who function as a comedic trope).
oh lord- i can't believe i just used "trope" in a sentence.
just for posting that great article about that awful film (that I hated that everyone else seemed to love) I'd like to add you as a friend. I'm not much of a writer though so theres that. are you down?
Enjoyed it - thanks for sharing. I thought Crash was about the unsubtle-est movie ever...and hence not realistic at all. Life isn't tied up with nice little ironic strings.
