Crash Into Me
To end the semester of sociology, we watched the highly acclaimed movie crash which exposed viewers to our society of racism, fear, and speculations. The movie did a fantastic job portraying realistic scenarios where race altered actions and treatments toward individuals present in society. I rememeber especially the Sandra Bullock character who played an upper-middle class white woman struggling with her prejudice like attitude and she realizes in the end, that the only friend she has in this world is her house keeper. This whole set-up was a mataphor regarding societies approach toward races and minority groups that struggle to conform with societies norms. The movie placed a wake up call in my mind forcing me to realize that we are all human beings maybe with different skin color or complexions but we all have feelings and dignity which others must respect in order to create a balanced community.

I agree that the movie was a perfect way to end the semester and tie togethor our perspective on race. We all need to be more aware of how we react to others races.

ReplyDeleteThe movie opened my eyes to all the racism and sterotypes in the world. People have to look past that inorder to find peace.
