Crash
Went to watch the film Crash at the West End Centre in Aldershot last night.
Crash is a powerful indictment of the state of race relations in the US particularly LA but its also something completely different. It looks at how individuals impact each others lives. It looks at how one person from one perspective is not a true picture of them at all, and it looks at how anger and hatred drive you to do incredible things.
Whilst not without its faults, this is a film that profundly affects you; one that you cannot just walk away from without thinking about what you have just seen - so for me it was a truely wonderful piece of film-making.
It also felt like an excellent film to show a management team. For a number of reasons not least those mentioned above - primarily around how do you manage people and not resources. And how a culture of an organisation (in the film's case LA) affects the way people interact and communicate. And how your perspective of a person or situation is limited.
Well worth watching - its on my to buy list.
