Formula Analysis 

Crashed used an unconventional formula where there’s numerous series of stories happening in the film but do not follow a uniformed formula. In Cool Runnings the storyline does pan out a conventional formula. The movie follows and action story template. The story starts with ordinary people, who come up with an idea, they try and execute the plan, they face some issues getting to their goal, something inside of them changes, and they win and become heroes in the end. This story line is much like other movies that use the conventional formula.

            Cool Runnings debuted in 1993, a time period where the conventional story template was apart of pop culture, that’s what people were interested in. around the time when Crash was release, 2004, the story templates were changing over to a more unconventional structure. I believe that maybe people were becoming bored with the normal good guy hero in the end, so film directors switched it up so movie goers would be guessing what’s next and who’s going to win in the end.

            If I were a director of the movie Crash I would change the end of the formula the existing director used. At the end of the movie the audience saw how all the character came together and how all their stories intertwined, but I would make the characters see that as well. So instead of each character going off with their lives, I would have created some freak accident where all the characters met at the end and realized everything that happened and how all their stories combined.
