Obsessed with guns and weapons – Taxi Driver scene Thinks violence is the answer to solve all his problems.Eg) fights with police, parisian citizens and rich drug dealer. Stuck in a cycle of crime – can’t escape no matter how hard he tries to leave.However, like KON results into violence.Non mainstream black – not into violence, takes a subdued, pacifistic approach.Within France, there is a split division between the rich and the poor. The government also leave these civilians to fend for themselves, and there is no help given to them.This caused Riots throughout France – which are shown in the opening scene of La Haine.One of the most heard about cases is Makome M’Bowle, a young back man who was “accidentally shot” whilst in police custody, chained to a radiator. There have been over 300 incidents reported.Within French society, French police have been known to kill innocent, young, French minorities by accident.Set in outskirts of Paris – Les Banlieues (urban estate).Ameros Perros: They both show aspects of three stories and lives. Those of ethnic minority are living in the poorest sections, like in The City of God they are pushed to the outskirts in order to keep the image of wealthĬomparing it to The City of God and Ameros Perros there a similarities and differences: We see the rich apartment that reflects the wealthy part in Paris They can’t afford things like schoolbooks, food, and running a gym Shows the hostility that ferments in the estate Gender conflict as well (The sister, The grandma, the other sister, the women in the art gallery) There is conflict between those in the upper class and the lower class Between one another and their conflicting ideals- Vinz: Depravity, Said: Innocence, Hurberg: The morality Being with each other gives them power and resistance: On the rooftop against the police, in the art gallery against the rich guy, against the skinheads. The film shows power, poverty and conflict within the estate of Paris: The fluidity of the film is almost seamless The way segments and time was split (using subheadings)
Watching the film, what really stood out to me was the way the film shot. La Haine follows vinz, Hubert and said, three young men trapped in the Parisian economic, ethnic and social underclass.
After local youth Adel is beaten unconscious by police, a riot ensues on his estate during which a policeman loses his gun. Starkly shot in black and white to show a Paris not on any map, the film deals with Frances intolerance towards outsiders.
