Because Officer Tom never arrested Mr. Thayer who was hiding the real criminal Anthony in the car with him, Anthony then got the opportunity to sell some Asian immigrants that were in a van that he stole. However, instead of getting the money in return for these people, he let them go. He was truly a savior, a guardian angel for these people who were destined for a life of slavery and misery, and instead of going along with what was bound to happen to them anyway, he chose a different path and gave them a second chance at life.
The "Guardian Angel" concept was truly valued by the character Farhad who was about to commit a crime that he...
He purchased a gun and bullets that his daughter picked out. When he shot at Daniel, the locksmith, Daniel's little daughter jumped in the way and would have been the victim of the crime, had the bullets not been blank bullets. Farhad however, did not realize that the purchased bullets were indeed not real and interpreted the situation as the little girl being his savior since he would have gone to jail for a long time and committed murder, which he was not really wanting to do.
Despite the Guardian Angel concept in the movie "Crash" all this saving was done after something immoral was first done. For each of the characters that did the saving, they had first done something that was redeemed with helping out other people. Although their guardianship was greatly needed in each of their individual situations, they also had done evil things that in a way forced them to act kindly in order to restore good into their lives. But in the end, it demonstrates how everyone, regardless of their previous actions has good in them, and despite whatever bad is done, everyone has the power of being someone's Guardian Angel.
The old man is involved in a bad accident with his white van, and his wife has an accident on her way to the hospital.

Then comes the ultimate reversal

Not only, the drama suggests, must they struggle to survive having lost their home and community. To become emotionally whole again, the depressed Lena and controlling Boesman must find a way to reconstruct their previous relationship as man
It is about person-to-person interactions, and though many -- most, even -- of the interactions in Crash are racially charged, race itself is not actually the focus. Haggis takes a far more narrow and specific view of the issue, according to UC Davis' Hsuan L. Hsu writing in Film Criticism. He points out that it is not actually any racial factor that leads to the stereotyped views helped by
Crash Paul Haggis's 2005 drama Crash is a vehicle for exploring social tensions in the United States. Although a huge portion of the film is devoted to race relations, prejudices, and stereotypes, an important meta-narrative also permeates Crash. That is, the film subverts the traditional Hollywood norm to "present working people not only as unlettered and uncouth but also as less desirable and less moral than other people," as Parenti puts

If this is true, than how is institutionalized white racism blameworthy at all, if all groups feel hatred of what is foreign or different? The constant ironic juxtaposition of different racist scenes of different ethnic groups further undercuts the film's condemnation of police violence, given that Ryan's anger seems to be an expression of something that is bubbling within the hearts of everyone -- black, white, brown, and 'other.' Furthermore,
