Crash/Monster's Ball DVD Description
CRASH: A stellar cast collides haphazardly in this insightfully written roundelay of racism, rage, and redemption, which takes place over the course of one day in L.A. and involves a circus of cops, robbers, and civilians. Writer-director Paul Haggis's (writer of MILLION DOLLAR BABY) Los Angeles is a world of alienated people struggling to connect across vast barriers of language, class, and culture.
MONSTER'S BALL: Set in modern Mississippi, MONSTER'S BALL subtly examines the impact of personal loss and the transforming power of human connection. The movie begins in the state penitentiary's death row, where father-and-son prison guards Hank (Billy Bob Thornton) and Sonny Grotowski (Heath Ledger) administer the execution of a black death-row inmate Lawrence Musgrove (Sean Combs), who leaves behind a wife, Leticia (Halle Berry), and son, Tyrell (Coronji Calhoun). When both Hank and Leticia's children subsequently die, the two grieving parents are accidentally thrust together. They begin to find comfort and eventually a form of redemption.
