La Haine

When I finished La Haine I had no idea what I was going to rate it or even how to rate it. The soundtrack, the visuals, the cinematography, and the characters are all great, but I while I was watching looking at the time in the day ticking down and the time pass in the world of La Haine I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I kept waiting for the big climax, a riot, a shootout, something, anything, and it never came, until it did. The ending of this film will stick with me for a long long time. Not all tragedies are part of some huge conflict they happen in an instant when you least expect it. La Haine truly subverted my expectations in a way that very few films can.
