    I just saw the movie . . . . . .

    Crash.


    I really enjoyed all of it. The movie portrayed the complexity of different races/ethnicities by thinking outside of the simplistic, unrealistic "black versus white" box.

    Plus the fact that nearly all the characters in the movie had their own type of clay feet -- I don't recall any one of them representing the perfect hero/heroine.

    I assume you're not talking about David Cronenberg's Crash

        If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

                For a minute there I was hoping it was an artsy film where everyone litterally had clay feet. Then I figured out it was just some stupid metaphore of MrFun's.

                    It's not stupid metaphor. Phiolosophers and other intellectuals use this metaphor -- I certainly am not the originator of the "clay feet" metaphor.

                      And the film does both, IMO. The cop who is portrayed as racist and callously insensitive in one scene, is shown some of his softer, humane traits in another scene with his terminally-ill father.

                        Don't listen to Ludd, he's illiterate Irc, the metaphor can be found in the Bible. So its a bit worn.

                          Ok.....and I for one, still am clueless as to what this movie is that MrFun (and I guess you all in turn) are talking about.
