Crash

 The movie, Crash, I believe is an interesting movie. It shows how society judges people before knowing who they really are. For example, Sandra Bullock's character, a white high class wife who wanted her locks changed at home, because she just got home from having a gun pointed to her face approached by two black men that stole her & her husband's car. The guy that fixed her locks was Hispanic. She started yelling at her husband because she wanted her locks changed a second time just because the guy fixing them was Hispanic.She told him that he is a "gang banger" and that him & his "homies" will break into their house and take over. Even though she had a gun pointed at her by two black men, doesn't mean she has the right to accuse a man changing her locks based on his race. Later in the movie, we all find out that he was not what Sandra's character believed he was. He was not involved in a gang, & had a wife and daughter that he loved very much & worked hard to support his family. From this movie & from sociology class, I learned that we should all stop saying things about people before we know anything about them.
