This kind of narrative structure is called reticulate narrative structure. The director expressed the solution of racial discrimination. This thesis is to analyze the interpretation of racial discriminations in Crash from the angle of narrative structure.

摘要:电影《撞车》反映的事件地点发生在美国多元文化最为明显的洛杉矶，通过一起看似平淡无奇的撞车事件而将一系列原本毫不相干的不同种族的人串联在一起，故事的时间跨度仅为36小时。

　　　导演通过电影《撞车》多组人物叙事表达出美国种族歧视的严峻的现状，并表达了自己对种族问题解决的诠释---“生命面前，人人平等”。在死亡面前，认识到生命的可贵。让人们不计较肤色，好好地共同生活。

　　　电影的表达形式追求良好的内在叙事性，导演从多个互不干预的故事连接在一起，从而得出同一个中心结论。该叙事结构为网状式叙事结构。导演通过该表演叙事手法表达出种族歧视的解决方法以及对种族问题的诠释。本文从电影叙事结构分析电影《撞车》对美国种族歧视的诠释。
