crash into this

Well, I did it. I finally saw Crash. What a steaming turd that one is. I can't believe someone wanted to finance it. Though, I must say it was funny as hell. Naturally, I was laughing at them (characters and filmmakers) rather than with them.

Shitty movies are known to win for best picture, so that doesn't really baffle me after seeing it (it's all about politics...some misguided guilt in white Hollywood?). But how does such a thing win for best screenplay? There is no story! I want to hear a story of how this actually challenged someone about his/her prejudices. Maybe I'm too cosmopolitan, too open minded, too educated, but I saw right through the one dimensional nature of the whole thing.
