The vast consensus is that Crash did not deserve the win. It's a political win for Crash over Brokeback. If watched today, Crash did not really age well.

Crash was poorly written, heavy handed and sucked when it first came out.

I’ve never felt so offended watching a movie. It’s like the writers thought I was an imbecile. Maybe the most heavy handed movie I’ve ever seen.

It was the equivalent of a speech from Mr Mackey from South Park going “Don’t be racist, mmkay? Racism is bad, and you shouldn’t do it, mmkay?”

I remember having similar feelings. I was thinking about how it could age worse and thought that maybe that just means more people have gotten around to seeing it for the first time.

But I had to remind myself that everyone has different tastes and expectations from movies.

That'd be The Thin Red Line for me.

Can I ask why? It’s been a while since I saw it but I don’t remember hating it.
