Everyone I know is also better than all the characters in that movie. The characters sucked, and the film was trying to say that we all suck. We don't. Therefore the film is bad.

I think we are very much like the characters in the movie. I think we all possess the meanness that the characters presented. Some of us just show it more often than others. And in some instances, we happen to show our bad sides at the same time.
I believe that people are generally good, but have some inner meanness that has been passed down through evolution. But some people are just born sociopaths. And most of the time, we learn our hate.
Crash reminds me of Higher Learning (a 1995 John Singleton film), except Higher Learning was on a college campus. I really enjoyed the movie when it came out. Looking back at it now, I still like the movie, though some of the incidents in the movie border on ridiculous.
