Much like the Wenders/Cooper/Ballard films, Crash has a strong social message, an emphasis on the re-use of images for social comment. In this case, it extends to the use of images of car crashes throughout the film. There is even a nonlinear narrative structure in which a car crash in 1969 is the catalyst for a series of events in a 1990s setting.The movie is interspersed with newspaper clippings, interviews, and other documentary footage to comment on contemporary social issues. Ballard himself is quoted extensively, explaining why he wrote the story, and the movie's director David Cronenberg does the same. The interviews were conducted in 1989 by Wellesley College professor Jill Johnston.The film and its dialogue sometimes have been cited as a social allegory of AIDS and its effects on society, as well as other disease, as the central character is shown to rapidly become infected with a sexually transmitted disease.At the same time, many critics have also cited the film as a social allegory of feminism. Ballard's wife, Helen, falls victim to a series of sexual assaults by her husband's friends. The assaults are initially motivated by anti-feminist views and Ballard's racism. When the same violence takes place against his wife, his prejudices are overthrown by the experience and he is forced to reexamine his self-perceived biases. Ballard's transformation mirrors the sexual revolution's transformation of sexual attitudes in the late 1960s.The film's audience is not confined to only the sexual deviants and fetishists, however. The film has also been credited with prodding many in the heterosexual community into being more open to questions about their own sexual orientation, and other taboo subjects such as childhood memories and abuse.Crash was a commercial success. It was first shown in the United Kingdom, and the United States in March 1997. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor (James Spader). Crash received a total of five awards at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, including the Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or. In 1999, it won Best Foreign Film at the Independent Spirit Awards, while James Spader won the Best Supporting Male award. 827ec27edc
