After watching the movie Crash written by Paul Haggis it was based on people judging others because of there race,religion,class or idenity. In this movie it explains the consequences of being stereotypical towards other people. Crash is a movie that makes you recognize the mistakes that are made in our everyday lives.
At the begining of the movie Jean Cabot holds on to her husband arms/hands tightly because she saw two black men walking towards her. She was was scared that something bad was going to happen to her. She was being racist. The two black men that she saw were arguing about how whites always predudging them as criminals and always look down towards them. All of a sudden they pull out a gun and do what she was expecting to happen. This increased the belief on her opinion on blacks. One might infer that the two black men either gave up and accepted the idenity whites give on them and then robbed Jean and her husband.
After the robbery Jean had a suspicion of a Latino man who was brought to change her door lock. She thought and looked at him as if he was a gang member. This time she followed her thoughts because she wasent going to repeat the mistake she did when she saw the two black men. Unfortuntly during this event she was wrong and he wasent a gang member. This man felt heart broken when he heard these words. The way Jean thought kept her from making friends because she always prejudged people by the conditioning she had.
