first day of class.. only one lecture but we did go straight into it.. small class of 70.. tomorrow is a carbon copy of today..

while it is third year, i decided that one lecture doesn't quite justify an hour of personal study just yet esp when it was abt stuff covered last semester.. so rented Crash and i have to say it's the best film i've seen in a while.. when i picked it out from the shelf, had a feeling was onto a gem.. and i was right.. it's one of those films where you have to pay very close attention otherwise you just lose the whole plot.. and great ending too.. it was probably a bit idealistic and unreal, but with that much racial tension from the start it was quite appropriate..

Crash does make us confront and overcome the racist inside us which we try so hard to hide and protect to save face.. the truth is we're always going to be a bit apprehensive about people with different skin colour or accent, because of the very sinful nature of man, but u realise that there are just far more miserable and challenging things in life that really whether we're Muhammad or Lee, we should spend more time confronting those things..

i'd prob put it up there with Thirteen, King Kong, The Sixth Sense - which i finally watched a few weeks ago on TV3 and now i know why everyone raves about it.. the best ending of a movie ever..

boy i've gone from Dave to Sam in a matter of hours..
