Ideological analysis of "Crash"
The artifact that i will be analyzing will be the movie "Crash". Crash is a movie that displays the different attitudes towards ideas of racism, stereotypes and prejudice. The movies takes several stories of different people dealing with racism and how the interact with each other. Throughout the movie there are individual plots that all end up colliding at the end.
The first ideology that i noticed was a common idea and belief that people are not born racism but learn certain prejudice by the environment they grow up in. An example of this was shown when a certain police officer who previously sexually assaulted a African American women he pulled over risked his life by saving the same women from her burning car. It showed that when it came down to seeing her struggle as a human being instead of just seeing an outward appearance he was more that willing to help her out. It showed that maybe the police officer had learned he could act a certain way to a certain race of people by abusing his authority, but all his stereotypes went out the window when he saw the women in dying need.
Another ideology in the movie "Crash" was the belief that not all stereotypes are true. In the movie two young African American males stole a car that happened to belong to another African American. The owner of the car was the exact opposite of the car thieves. He was a successful Hollywood director who frowned upon the actions of the two young men. The Hollywood director acknowledged how they were portraying the negative stereotype that was placed upon most young black males.
