Crash is a 2004 ensemble drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Paul Haggis. The film is about racial and social tensions in Los Angeles, California. A self-described "passion piece" for Haggis, Crash was inspired by a real-life incident, in which his Porsche was carjacked outside a video store on Wilshire Boulevard in 1991.
Several characters' stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles: a black detective estranged from his mother; his criminal younger brother and gang associate; the white district attorney and his irritated, pampered wife; a racist white police officer who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner; an African American Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the officer; a Persian-immigrant father who is wary of others; and a hard-working Hispanic family man, a locksmith. The film differs from many other films about racism in its rather impartial approach to the issue. Rather than separating the characters into victims and offenders, victims of racism are often shown to be prejudiced themselves in different contexts and situations. Also, racist remarks and actions are often shown to stem from ignorance and misconception rather than a malicious personality.

Genres: Action, Adventure,It was a night like this
Under the stars, one kiss
And I totally know you are the one
And I have no reservations (no)
That day is still on my mind
I play it over in rewind
But I'll never get why you never felt
The same way that I did
I wish you could've crash into me
No turning back, totally lost in the rush
The way that I was totally lost in you
Why couldn't you crash into me
Why can't you look pass
All the things holding you back
The way that I have been doing the same for you
Why can't you crash in me
One look is all that I needed to know
That you are for me
And I didn't need no more conformation
So why do you ask so many questions
Don't understand what makes you keep holding back
If you'd just let our world's collide you'd feel so much better
I wish you could've crash into me
No turning back, totally lost in the rush
The way that I was totally lost in you
Why couldn't you crash into me
Why can't you look pass
All the things holding you back
The way that I have been doing the same for you
Why can't you crash in me
Why are you so afraid of letting go
It's like something's got a hold
But instead of going down that road
Why won't you crash into me
No turning back, totally lost in the rush
The way that I was totally into you
Why couldn't you crash into me
Why can't you look pass
All the things holding you back
The same way I have been doing the same for you
Why won't you crash into me
Why won't you crash into me
Why won't you crash into me
Why won't you crash (oh)
