The new immigration-themed movie 'Crossing Over' - due out in 2009 - appears to be like 'Crash' in that it's set in Los Angeles and involves the interactions of several characters. In this case those characters are trying to become legal residents and expect it to be a perfect storm of braindead Hollywood limo liberalism meeting the Hollywood interest in having a plentiful supply of gardeners.
The stars are Harrison Ford, Jim Sturgess, Ray Liotta, Sean Penn, Ashley Judd, Alice Eve, and Alice Braga. Director: Wayne Kramer. Producers: Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall. Distribution: MGM and the Weinstein Company. The trailer is here: movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809837407/video/10646018. There was to be an Iranian honor killing, but it was deleted after complaints (link). I'd imagine that if there were any complaints from those who support our immigration laws they were ignored.
I'll continue my decade-and-a-half boycott of Hollywood movies, but I don't suggest denying the impact of propaganda such as this. As more facts come out about the film, please go to the major review sites (rottentomatoes.com, etc.) and review the flick, pointing out all the things they got wrong.
UPDATE: The reviews are in, and they ain't pretty: link, link.
