Crash Questions
3. Choose one character
and outline how (or if) s/he is Òredeemed.Ó
4. What
might the falling snow in L.A. at the end of the film symbolize?
5. What
might the burning car and falling ashes symbolize? Think about what is burning;
think about who witnesses the burning; think about what burning does to an
object.
6. Think about the very last scene in which Shaniqua Johnson gets into a car accident, thus returning us to the beginning of the film where we have the first crash (remember, this is Òorganic unityÓ). By this point in the film, what do we know about Òcrashing?Ó Are crashes (literal/figurative) necessary for positive movement? How is it that a ÒnegativeÓ collision might be positive, or is that impossibility?
