I did like Crash, though I also recognise its shortcomings. I feel like it's a fairy tale of sorts. X just happens to happen so Y can happen and leads to Z all because of a coincidence? Mainly referring to the invisible, bulletproof cloak, but also the thing with the cop and the Black lady. It's so carefully put together though, I have to give it respect. But it's in no way realistic. That's never been a requirement for me. Big Fish, which is basically Forrest Gump plus fantasy, most of it is stuff that could/would never happen... and yet, it works. So, why is Crash any different? Because it doesn't outwardly present as fantasy? All fiction is (somebody's) fantasy. Well, I mean if you make it up, it comes from the same place as fantasy. It could be comic or it could be tragic, but if you made it up, the end or the message justifies all the leaps to get to that point. Basically it's all fantasy. Because real life doesn't have to have a point or a message. It just is.
