La Haine

I've been waiting a while to finally watch this film and the wait was well worth it. A look into the culture of France during political turmoil and riots. Showcasing police brutality and the continuous mistreatment and the evergrowing blood that is seen on the hands of the police. A take on our society's wrongs and our downfall. Vin, Saïd, and Hubert are electric characters and shine in all of their own ways. All wanting to make some sort of change but looking at it from different and at times extreme ways. The fashion in this movie was one of my favorite parts a long with the music in it. Pierre Aïm killed it, every shot and every zoom fit so well and just felt present. And the black and white just brings it all together. The structure was really tight with how it’s presented by time and gave the film a solid pace. And the opening really set the tone of the movie using real footage. This movie was just electric from start to finish.
