Seriously, these are crimes, not art!

Don't give me any crap about "high art, not understood by most people" blah blah. I'm doing a Cronenberg retrospective with all his films (and I like most of them since they are truly original and intriguing) but after "Crash" I just had to write this.

How anybody in his right mind can defend what we see here is beyond me:

Basically, they commit crimes left and right (literally), especially reckless driving multiple times, endangering and possibly traumatizing so many people in other cars for their fetish! Could anybody point out the "art" in this for me?

And don't get me started on the scene near the end when they drive by another bad highway accident with multiple fatalities. They stop the car to look and watch, take photos and even stroll right through and around the scene, looking into the car wrecks and taking more flash photos of blood-covered dead and mangled passengers! You would be in serious legal trouble where I come from if you did this.

But since this film apparently takes place in a separate reality where there is neither any police on the scene nor firefighters caring in the slightest about people wandering through the accident scene taking flash photos, sitting down next to traumatized victims at the curb, just watching them... Maybe this was different in 1996 but watching it now is just plain bizarre and sickening. No art to be seen here anywhere, I'm sorry!
