Crash (2004) - 'Flames'/Car crash scene

In the words of the late great bobby knight if you know you're going to be assaulted why not just

Excelente película...

One of the greatest scenes in film when considered with what came before re: these two characters

absolute cringe, great acting, but a terribly written movie

Damn Dally you showed up and showed out in the end 💪

Racism is taught, humanity is instinctive. We are all the same.

Nejlepší scéna z filmu. Pokaždé u toho pláču

atonement inspite of the nasty “so called bad guy “ he saved her god and the music nearly had me thinking it would end bad

it is still one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema , December 2024

Her reaction truly shows the power SA has over its victim. In that moment shed rather died than have him touch her...

This scene is so cliché. His redemption came way too easy. The entire movie was simplistic. It definitely didn’t deserve an Oscar over Brokeback Mountain, a superior film yet still very cliche and simplistic. The Bush era of films was really about being as shallow as possible. The impact of 9/11 on U.S. culture at the time needs to be critically studied.

This scene tugged at my heart

Matt Dillon fully deserved his Oscar nomination. It shows that when it comes down to it, we are all human. Was he wrong for being racist and harassing others? Absolutely. But can we change/repent to be better people? Yes. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Uffffff hard scene, make me cry

Brave performances from both Matt Dillon and Thandie Newton...wow.

The layers of this movie is so deep

I want to know why did they crash?

She was disgusted with him

People say second chances aren’t good enough. Sometimes it’s true. Sometimes it isn’t. But I like to think that some people can change and better their ways when given the second chance.

I randomly think about this scene and come back to watch...

What a deeply evil movie

One of the most underrated movies. Directed to totally take you out of your comfort zone.

This movie seems to point out that people you think are really bad people, may very well have something really bad about them, but they can also be very good people at the same time. So stop being so GD judgy. Work on yourself before you go out there yelling about how other people need to better themselves.

Been more than a decade and still so fresh, the emotions this one scene carries is just phenomenal, it has hate, love, compassion fight and the BMG soothes everything, i cried the first time I saw the movie and i was school kid so i understand, but now im grown man and i still get my eyes wet, its not about being kid or being grown, man or woman its a powerful scene and even after 14 years it makes me feel emotional means the actors, musicians and makers have done some tremendous work ❤

Its not about being kid or being grown, man or woman its a powerful scene and even after 14 years it makes me feel emotional means the actors, musicians and makers have done some tremendous work ❤

This one scene and the BMG rather entire movie will always be close to my emotions and my heart ❤

This movie aged terribly

Which film was supposed to win that year?

"Look at me".

"You embarrass me , you embarrass yourself".

Love this scene…people say Brokeback should have won the Best Picture Oscar rather than Crash but I disagree. They’re both good

No human nor super computer coulda create a dialogue that would supersede or match the looks they give each other at the end. It’s done absolutely perfectly

This scene reminds us how ironic life is . The cop is indeed a racist but at the same time he seems to believe in a purpose of saving lives. The woman therefore, even though doesn't want him to save her, realizes she has no other choice, because there are times life traps us and there's no option

Yeah… so I’m not sold. He’s still an absolute POS. And he does not get to feel heroic about anything.

It makes me sad people hate this movie so much now

This scene is brilliant, but without the misuc could not be that powerful.

The music to this is incredible.

He knew it was his fault. Circumstances created redemption. It's always the right time to be better to do better always. Better.

One of the greatest movies ever made!

I think he redeemed himself 😊😢

Definately something you probably wouldnt see in this politicially charged time.

Despite her dire situation, she' s too traumatized to have him help her.

Him seeing how much his actions affected her.

Him trying to redeem himself.

Him going back into possible death to save her and in a way, himself.

Her look of both appreciation but not sure she can ever forgive him.

Him there trying to think about what has happened and just reflecting.

A lot od movies feel the need to tie everything up in a knot. I always appreciate film that aren't afraid to evaulate the grey area and let the viewer come to their own conclusions.

Redemption!

One of the most beautiful scenes ever filmed. Ever!❤

Thos movie had so many good scene..people can really learn from it..

Matt Damon played his character role very well deserved as the bad cop and hero at the same time..... At the end of the day he was a phenomenal and amazing hero and he saved her from dying in the fire...... I have to give him a standing ovation for playing his character role very well in the movie crash....this scene was very heartbroken and very emotionally heartbroken for me to watch because it literally broke my heart and Soul.... Matt Damon and thandie Newton both deserve an academy award and Oscar award for playing their character roles very well in the movie.....

Song is from cowboy Bebop

Notice they can't (won't) make movies like this anymore? That's the real tragedy. This was the era for film and music.

Oscar deserved

2025 brought me here
