Best Picture

Deservedly, Crash was selected as this year's best picture by the American Academy of Motion Pictures. Decades from now, it will still be remembered as a seminal work in understanding what ails North American society in the early 21st centrury. Almost unbelievably, 140+ years after Mr. Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation we are not yet out from under the insidious socio-economic sickness that is racism, with it's multitude of tentacles and perspectives. Under-stated, intricate and precise, Crash will rank among the best films of its genre for generations to come. Kudos to Canadian-born director Paul Haggis for the fine piece of art he's created.
