Okay, I just finished watching for the first time the Academy Award-winning Best Picture of 2006, Crash, on HBO. Can somebody please tell me why it was so allegedly good? How in the world did it win?
It seemed to me like an extended version of just another television cop drama like one of those Law and Order shows, with a lot of unrelated and disjointed story lines and no particular message to the whole film. I didn't see anything particularly complex or original in any of the story lines, editing, or cinematography.
I'm just kind of blasé now. Oh, well. I'm not one of the members of the Academy.

Whether from in the audience or on stage, watching the screen or
sitting in the pews, this is a chronicle of performances that I experience
in the District of Columbia and around the country.
Welcome!
Welcome to The Arts in the Nation's Capital, a journey through the performing arts in Washington, D.C., and beyond!
These are my reviews, thoughts, commentary, and musings about the various performances I see, plus news and gossip related to the arts.
Did you see the same show? Do you agree with me? Do you disagree? Please post your comments! I love civil discussion of the arts, as two intelligent people can see the very same show and come away with completely different opinions.
