La Haine

The policeman who kills Vinz fires a single shot, and the slide of his handgun is locked back.

The very next scene shows his gun with the slide forward, and the hammer down.

The trip across Paris is strange the three characters should arrive at the Saint-Lazare station(north-west of Paris), coming from ChanteloupLesVignes.

Yet, when they arrive, they are in front of the Montparnasse station(south of Paris), on the Rennes street.

Then, they go to Asterix place, on the boulevard Pierre Ier of Serbia, close to Iena Place (west of Paris), and when they try to catch the last train, this time they are at the Saint-Lazare station, the right one to go back.

But then, when they are on the roof, they see the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadero from the south-east, being probably close to Montparnasse station.

Then, they come across a sculpture, L'Ecoute, in the Halles Garden(center of Paris), before going back.

Hence, their trip goes south, west, north-west, south and center of Paris.

LA HAINE is a film that really needs to say something. That really needs to shout something.

Brilliant!! One of the best I've seen in long time.

At outside, La Haine seems to be a really different, enjoyable film. I will give it full marks to it for being what it is, and I have no complaint whatsover.

This movie shows the average street punks and how their irresponsibility and stupidity leads to violence, which causes the police brutally and the cycle goes on. In other words it just shows true nature of low class people.

Three young friends are hanging out after the immigrant housing projects exploded against the police in a riot the night before. Vinz (Vincent Cassel) is a Jew and sees himself as a gangster.

When I was in high school, read the book Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe in my English class. The novel follows the life of a Igbo tribesman and his kin as they adjust to the arrival of Christian missionaries and struggle with the impact of British colonial rule.

24h in the life of 3 young men, from Paris suburbs, after a day of tumults. It entered my top favorites, it's just incredible.

It is one of those films where all of the right people had come together to make it. Vincent Cassel gives the performance of a lifetime.
