Crash!

This film gave me so much to think about, especially because I kept changing my mind about how I felt towards the characters.

They were:

2 boys with a gun - one was police detective's brother
Husband - worried about career
Wife - worried about herself, mainly, status, appearance and possessions
Locksmith and daughter
Shopowner
Shopowner's daughter - works in mortuary
Police - with sick father
Police - who requested a new partner
Police detective - with mother and brother
Poilice detective's mother
Police detective - with family from Puerto Rico
Police chief
Husband in car - didn't stand up for his wife
Wife - later in car accident, rescued by police

Some ideas for discussion:
Which characters were you most sympathetic towards, why?
Which characters were you least sympathetic towards, why?
What decisions could have brought about different outcomes?
Are there similar situations we have heard about or seen to those seen on the film?
Which characters should have stood up or spoken out against a situation?
Can people change?

Look forward to hearing ewhat you think on Tuesday evening.
