The movie Im writing about is Crash which is writ Essays - Crash

The movie I'm writing about is Crash which is written, directed, and produced by Paul Haggis in the year of 2004. The movie has a group of stories of different people that all connect each other and all relate in some way. One of the uncomfortable aspects of this scene is that it's from a Persian man to a white man, which he thinks is an Iraqi. A disturbing scene, and something that the movie is all about. The abuse doesn't just stop at the white people on Persian, it moves to Latino against black, black against white, Chinese against black, black against themselves and it goes on. One of the best parts of the movie is at the beginning, the two black guys come out of an uptown restaurant in a very white neighborhood and one begins to talk about how badly they've been treated. He said "The waitress treated us like dirt, assuming that we're black and we wouldn't tip her." he said, and his friend turns to him, "how much did you tip her?", "That's not my point".He said. Through history, the world has been racist and intolerant of people of skin colors as well as cultures. There was a time when any soul that wasn't blue eyed and blonde haired in Germany and anyone with darker skin was immediately not classified as a human. Even now, when you are not aware, racism is still a problem in today's society, but sometimes it isn't a person being racist against one another, but rather one person being racist against themselves. The movie crash shows very good examples of how racism can also be against your own self, it can be caused by fear and misunderstanding, is just an evil racism against another person. The fear is what makes people act and think racist. Farhad is one of many examples in the movie of a person who recognizes his own race and but has his own fear. Farhad believes that because he is Persian he is being persecuted against and cheated. He gets mad at the gun shop when the owner was insulting him which made his fear even bigger from Americans. After the even ts on 9/11, which are shown a lot in the movie, Farhad thinks that anyone who is from the Middle East isn't welcome in America. Even after the gun shop owner was rude; his shop was destroyed by racist people who hated him also. This is the same fear of being cheated because of his race which makes him very untrusting to people he doesn't know. He calls someone to come fix his door because it wouldn't lock. He then immediately thinks that Daniel is trying to cheat him and steal money from him just because of his past experiences. Farhad even says, "You cheated me right? You have friend that can fix the door?" when Daniel tells him he needs a door after replacing the lock. Since Farhad believed that he was being cheated, he did not fix the door which led his shop being destroyed due to negligence. Farhad is one of the characters that acts to "protect himself" due to fear of being misunderstood.
