Words Describing La Haine

Sexist:

The women represented in this film appear to be objectified throughout. This is shown in the scene at the art exhibit where Vinz, Said and Hubert attempt to chat up to woman and when they fail become extremely aggressive because the women would give out their numbers and just wanted convosation.

Heroic:

Throughout the film the a need to be heroic is represented throughout especially through the character Vinz whom I believe represents liberte in the french motto. Throughout the film Vinz has a need to be heroic and give revenge for the wrong doings of the police he believes that shooting a police officer would make him a hero.

Pessimistic:

The character Hubert has a constant sense that the actions his friends, especially in will end up with worse and unfortunate outcomes, he is not see the heroic side of Vinz's quest for heroism but sees that only the worse can come of it. This is shown when Vinz shows hubert the stolen gun for the first time and Hubert only thinks the worst of the situation and tells vine to put it back.

Real:

Throughout the film the 'real' side of France is represented and not the side we are used t seeing. the film focuses of the projects and the population in poverty instead of high society of middle class people, the picture shows the side of countries you would only if you lived in them, usually countries are represented in a good and rich light instead of how this film represents its country, in a criminal and destructive light.

Hopeless:

The film represents a brutal cycle that the three main protagonists are stuck in, the film shows us that there is no hope for the characters to break form the cycle. This is represented in the mies-en-scene of the movie when the three main characters are standing infant of a wall that hows a graffiti picture of Charles Baudelaire ho said "the world goes round by misunderstanding"
