Just so...so bad

Brilliant and touching

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen; maybe not top five but definitely top ten. Put it this way, I have only ejected a DVD before a movie was over twice before, this came close to being the third. The only thing that kept me watching was all the beautiful naked women. I'm trying to figure out if the director of the movie put all the naked women in to keep people like me watching until the end of the movie, or if this incredibly ridiculous movie was made as a way for beautiful women to get naked on screen. Either way, it was a waste of time. The app won't let me submit this review until I write 10 lines and there is really not much more to say so this part here is just fill until I can hit submit and let people know how bad this movie is.

Crash (1996): Dir: David Cronenberg / Cast: James Spader, Holly Hunter, Elias Koteas, Deborah Kara Unger, Rosanna Arquette: Represents the mind when it ceases to function on a normal level. Filmmaker James Spader survives a head on collision. When released from the hospital he encounters the female victim, which leads to heavy sex in what will be linked to a strange fascination with car crashes. Elias Koteas is obsessed with celebrity crashes and stages a James Dean crash. He invites Spader's wife to pose beside a roadside accident to complete his inspiration. Spader readjusts a rear view mirror in a car wash as his wife is raped in the backseat and moans with pleasure. Although extremely disturbing it is among David Cronenberg's more symbolic work, which also includes The Dead Zone and Scanners. Spader is well cast in his descend on mental chaos. Holly Hunter is intriguing as a crash victim although she seems to become less involved in the second half and settles for a lesbian fling in a crash car. Koteas is at best in his delight of the sickening but his final sequence makes little sense. Deborah Kara Unger discovers new passions in road games, which results in a very twisted ending where Spader whispers, "Maybe the next time." Rosanna Arquette wearing leg braces and an appetite for kink. Graphic sex in variation resulting in a fatal crash of the mind. Score: 8 / 10

Finally after all these years I watched "Crash" and I must say it was fine it didn't let me down. As watching many David Cronenberg movies you know that they are different and raw and often travel on the edge and show the dark nature of life. With this picture "Crash" it shows just how people can become obsessed with pleasure after near fatal death. Really watching this is like a psycho sexual journey. Anyway James Spader is James Ballard a film director who in his spare time likes having sex with Asian ladies as his wife Catherine(Deborah Kara Unger)is somewhat of a bore to him. Well after James becomes involved in a near fatal car crash the incident leads to a meeting with Dr. Helen Remington(Holly Hunter)and soon the two develop a passion and an erotic attraction it's now a cat and mouse game of car sex and this underground underworld is a culture of raw violence and raw sexual conquest(Note I really enjoyed the scene of Holly in that silk satin sexy purple colored bra!) This film is clearly different as it explores erotic means and sexual ends in a raw and different way from the norm yet it proves and shows that people's attraction and energy is not the norm when involving sex and passion. "Crash" is one cult classic film that stands on it's own.

As the movie already sucked abusively my time by watching it, i won't give it much for my review. In short, this movie belongs to my black list of useless, pretentious, stupid movies that try to depict the worst depravities as an interest for art (as "Blow", "Irreversible"). What's worst is that, as usual, the addition of big names (here, Cronenberg, Holly Hunter) tries hypocritically to give respectability and the movie establishment gives dumbly prizes to such crap! There's only one truth to remember: there's nothing romantic or light about licentiousness: those people are cruel and dehumanized!
