La Haine 4 words

The first word I have chosen to best describe the film La Haine is pessimistic. The reason that I have chosen this word is because throughout the whole film there are consistent signs shown by the characters that they are very doubtful about everything. An example in the film featured to show this is where the character Hubert suggests he needs to leave the area and that the society is not good for him and he wants to leave.

The second word I have chosen to best describe the film La Haine is innovative. The reason that I have chosen this word is because the film shows a lot of new ideas. There are plenty examples of this shown within the film and a few of them are where The Dj is mixing songs from a western hip hop song into a traditional French song by Edith Piaf, I felt that this in particular was very innovative because of the suggestion behind it of the factor that the races are mixing with each other which supports diversity among society. Another example that I felt was innovative was where a poster said "The world is yours" in french which Said spray painted over to change it to "The world is ours" which suggests that everyone is equal and there shouldn't be one more person dominant over the other which I felt was an innovative ideology.

The third word I have chosen to best describe the film of La Haine is real. The reason that I have chosen this word is because it represents real life situations in the underbelly of France in lower socio-economic classed areas. An example that I particularly liked within La Haine which suggested realism was the scene where Said tries to click his fingers to turn off the Eiffel Tower lights, to which Vinz responds "That only happens in movies". The reason that I liked this was because it was strongly suggestive of a sense of realism in the film as to it being a fairy tale for such a thing to happen and that it represents an ideology of a fake world and real world in society and which is real and as to why society is bad in this particular film.

The fourth word I have chosen to best describe the film La Haine is hopeless. The reason that I have chosen this word is because the group of Said, Vinz and Hubert, whilst all mentioning in the film of what they want in their lives or how they're represented, for example Vinz is a dream and Hubert says he wants to leave the area and Said wants everything to be equal and everything to change. The fact that their society is so hopeless is shown by the fact that at the end of the film none of these three achieved their ambitions and that their future is hopeless.
