Crash
This is a well-written and thought provoking article by Roger Ebert in defense of the movie Crash. He named it his favorite film of the year, however, it was also critcized and ridiculed from some critics as well.
I agree with Roger that the movie does attempt to show all sides of racism which, by the way, should not be just considered a "liberal" topic. Didn't Katrina remind us how far we have to go in this country to get past prejudice, inequality, and inequity?
A movie like Crash is important not only for it's entertainment value (which I felt was exceptional), but for its social impact as well.
I really recommend reading this article.
