ReprEseNtatioN and AuDiencE...

-Many characters in the film are represented to be racist to different types of people.
-This therefore causes social conflict as conflict between different races is being presented to the audience-This engages the audience as they are able to sympathise with characters in the film.
-This also informs the audience that nowadays in the society we are living in racism does still exist not only in LA but in different places around the world, shown by the different cast used in the film.
-Many of the women represented in the film are also seen to be weak and emotional, by the fact that men have more dominance and control over them-For example when a black women gets sexually abused by a white police officer. This therefore causes social conflict between characters.
-Many different stereotypes are also reinforced and represented in the film. For example there are many stereotypes placed upon the black society as they are represented to be criminals to society by having a sense of fear towards them.

-“The movie works to deconstruct the events that lead up to a car crash in Los Angeles. The events are a series of interconnected inter-racial interactions that expose the racism, intolerance, and stereotyping that goes on in everyday American life. As it deconstructs the scene of the car accident, Crash also works to deconstruct the stereotypes that are depicted in the film.”- Ryan Saxby Hill
-The research represented above explains that there are many stereotypes represented in the film crash that eventually all lead up to the main CRASH that takes place during the first scene.
-Therefore this explains that the social issue of stereotypes are represented in the film by making the first scene trigger everything off, eventually engaging the audience and creating narrative enigmas.
-Finally the enigma will be answered as throughout the film and towards the end as different stereotypes are represented throughout the film to show what had caused the “crash”.
