crash

imagine you are a character who has been influenced by the events in the morning and you choices make you crash into some other character which causes him to get aggravated,setting of a viscious circle, with each person oblivious of the crucial part he was playing to form that circle and but in the end the circle is complete to perfectness.

you meet a whole lot of people everyday and they then influence your actions along the day.

for eg.: one night you are a bit tipsy and the cop pulls you over and he molests you, but you belonging to the minority community and the rascism hasnt died down and you dont protest fearing for the worst.this has obviously caused a severe emotional setback. and you need to vent it out of the system but your means are very limited.the partner of the cop though is severely ashamed and demands for a new partner or a new police car.the cop got a new car the next morning.

second:
a group of two has just stolen a car ,a classly car. they enter the car and escape from the scene. one of the guy is superstitious and so places a small idol on the dashboard. while they are engrossed in a discussion they run over a chinese guy who was keying the door of his van.he is trapped under the car and is badly bruised and they dump him at the hospital(the keys stay intact on the lock). and then they make arrangements to sell that car. the next morning they are on the streets again for another steal. keeping in mind that they are blacks, they dont intend to rob from the fellow black man. but the driver is a black whose spouse was molested by a cop the last night. the driver is no longer subdued and though the assilants weild guns ,he is not afraid ,simply because he is pissed off for his earlier subjugation. he counterattacks them ,thereby causing the police to see the brawl. the supersitious one escapes by foot ,while the other accomplice boards the car with the driver still in his place and driving around till he decides to stop.

when the cop sees the person he realizes that the person is the guy from yesterday night and he is disturbed, the cop requests the sqaudron to lower their arms and lets the man go . the man also doesnt reveal the assailant sitting in the car. This changed the assailant's heart.

third:
a father has some medical insurance and he is suffering from a very painful disease.the son is fighting tooth and nail for seeing a doctor outside the insurance circle and wants it to be covered by them ,which they dont comply to and the son is very frustrated as he cant see his father suffer who had given a lot to the society.the son happened to be the cop who molested.

fourth:
you are a detective with a good looking partner of the opposite sex for a long time . you are ravishing her and suddenly you get a call from your mother who asks you to look for his younger brother as it is late night. you dismiss her by saying that you are ravishing a woman.

fifth:
owing to the severe mental distress caused last night the person couldnt hold the stress inside any longer and receiving no help from the spouse , she goes way over your head and be a part of a deadly accident and her car has capsized. the same cop who had molested her the last night now plays the role of the rescuer ,risking his life .though she is hesitant at first , since she doesnt have a choice she is helped by him . she is certainly taken aback.

sixth:
the assailants of the car have now splitted ways owing to the brawl earlier . the superstitious one now decides to go home and it is pretty late in the night. he manages to get hitched and then starts laughing softly. with the driver being white and the other being black,the driver is alarmed as to why he was laughing.upon asking he said it was nothing and due to the tarnished image the blacks hold in the society(not their fault) , the white asserts and parks the car onto the side of the road and asks the person to disembark. the black said it was no big deal,he wasnt laughing at him. the driver though wouldnt have any of it. the black then got excited a bit and asked if he wants to know what he laughing at and reaches for the pocket.fearing for the worst,the driver draws his gun out and shoots the black only to reveal that the black was showing an idol ,similar to the one on the dashboard. the guy who shot him was the cop who had got the new car in the morning .the body was dumped near to the highway.

seventh:
the wife of the chinese guy is asked by her husband to encash a cheque as soon as possible.she makes her way to the car.

eight:
the assailant (the one with a change of heart) remembers that the car keys are intact.he takes the car and wants to sell it. he goes to the garage and upon searching up the van ,he finds captive slaves who were going to be sold. he refuses to sell the car and drops them all off at some place,parting them with some money. he then boards a bus reflecting upon the events that happened to him today.

ninth:
feeling remorseful ,the detective sets out to find his brother out .the detective and his partner are involved in an minor accident which was actually a chain.a chinese woman had bumped into thier car as the chinese had seen the brake lights pretty late.there was a chain reaction of an accident caused way ahead on the road. and a crime scene was near by.during a crime scene investigation the detective's worst fears are answered. he finds his brother dumped in the grasses next to the highway.if it were for the detective he would be breathing now.

these stories ascribe the qualities of a fatist.
and as you can clearly outline, each one had made choices depending upon their situation and it has affected others sorely.

and if you were charmed by the stories above, i would suggest you to watch the movie crash and you will find it quite similar.

It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.
