Crash was good. I think it reflected American society in general. Particularly in cities where we have to drive everywhere, there is more classism because people who drive seem to be disjointed from other people. they don't see each other face to face and they don't exchange pleasantries because they're always surrounded by metal and glass (cars and buildings). There's no level playing field where people from different backgrounds really interact with each other-- they don't have to deal with each other, they don't learn about other cultures, and there you get more racism and stereotypes. Its really too bad that our car-loving society drives us to alienation and estrangement from each other. Everyone's too "busy" and too "mobile" to actually be there with each other and spend quality time.
