"Crash" ..land

Saw the Oscar award winning movie "Crash" last night. It had a great premise and started off well, but finally I felt that it fizzled out. The different strands of the movie didn't come together properly and no uplifting message either:-). At the end of the movie I was left trying to recollect what the various strands were and trying to figure out if there were any resolutions. Still, neat movie with some sublime moments. It does get to the heart of the stresses and strains of modern life and I agree strongly with that part of it. One is beset by random stuff all the time and you feel powerless and out of control and sometimes you end up showing the frustration on someone else. The pic presented of Los Angeles is pretty bleak. The melting pot doesn't seem to work, and the episode with the HMO is telling.
