"Crash" (1996) David Cronenberg Commentary

is there this one with the sex in it and no comentery?

the poor lincoln continental

i read the movie like this , they are addicted to a fetish that they shouldnt be. they cant help it because its an addiction

Wrong. Too simplistic. If you want to know what it's about, then seek out some interviews with the author of the book its based on.

in a sense it is a fetish, an obsession about an idea or event, object, etc... but, the argument isn't about if they can help it or shouldn't do whatever, a fetish is not the addiction - it's the feeling that the fetishist gets from it, that's what they are 'addicted' to. and, for each fetish there are millions of different views on what is so appealing about it.

I keep coming back to something with this movie... it's really compassionate. These people are driven by their own compulsions and manias to destroy themselves and each other, and they're helpless as they watch their intimacies die.

It's as romantic a movie as I've ever seen.

i missed out on laserdiscs, why didnt they take off as well as DVDs??? in soem ways like this, they're bertter

To understand the movie should read the book-Crash
is a metaphor for a situation too excessive, a series of desperate measures to which resort should only be in a situation of extreme crisis.Guida
