Not many films have the possibility of making their audiences better people. I don't expect "Crash" to work any miracles, but I believe anyone seeing it is likely to be moved to have a little more sympathy for people not like themselves. The movie contains hurt, coldness and cruelty, but is it without hope? Not at all. Stand back and consider. All of these people, superficially so different, share the city and learn that they share similar fears and hopes. Until several hundred years ago, most people everywhere on earth never saw anybody who didn't look like them. They were not racist because, as far as they knew, there was only one race. You may have to look hard to see it, but "Crash" is a film about progress.
这是文章最后一段,作者认为所有电影应该有看完后让观众better的可能性,以及对racism的看法,每个人都会天生有racism,但我们应该为改变它而做些事情。
今天的文章将是没有讲什么别的,就是朗读加翻译认识词汇,不过人帅就好了啊,今天还不错,早起去琴房学习了还,明天继续努力~
