I've just seen the movie "Crash" (1998) with James Spader. I'd heard
about the premise of the movie years ago (people get turned on through
car crashes) but was not that interested to see it until recently (came
across it on Netflix). I have not seen a more perverted movie in a
while. Being male, most of the sex scenes were pretty hot (NC-17, DVD
version) but after a while, this theme got repetitious. The attempt
to glamorize car crashing got to be lame and I've never heard this
"underground rush" related to any group before I saw the movie or since.
With as much nudity and as many sex scenes in this movie, you wonder
what the auditions were like. I liked "The Secretary" (Spade &
Gyllenhaal) with it's sado-masochistic theme. The characters were quirky
but overall the sex scenes and the movie made sense (find this in another review). Too often Crash was sexual for the sake of being sexual and whatever underlining
theme there was got lost. I felt like I should have rented a porno.
The nude scenes just could not carry the theme of the movie. Good concept, disappointing movie.
