This film attempts to cover two extremely serious topics: black uprising in the south during the sixties and a women who kills and runs away from a violent and dangerous husband. Unfortunately the movie's makers felt they had to dumb down this film by adding irrelevant humor. Just so you know, "I loved Life is Beautiful." In that film the humor was just as sad as the real actions. In "Crazy" the humor had little to do with the plot and seemed to only be included so that the viewer would not think too much about the serious, depressing, and wildly important issues the movie raised. The makers of this movie should be commended for attempted to address strong issues, but should be pitied for not having the guts to present them the way they must be presented.
