La Haine

So far so good. So far so good. So far so good. The dive into the harsh world of violence and what can break a man and their surrounding community, La Haine. Mathieu Kassovitz tells the story of how corruption repeats itself as hatred builds, that I believe will never be captured to this level again. The film starts with saïd opening his eyes, choosing to deal with the negativity and withering of his life and community. The film ends in the complete opposite. Throughout the movie, Vinz is the irrational and prideful one, showing hate and anger over minor disagreements. But when he has his opportunity to finally do what he has been planning for this whole day, he can’t go through with it, and gives the gun to Hubert. The passing of the gun in turn passed the irrationality. Molding Hubert from his more passive, future based personality, to exactly what Vinz was. Hate breeds Hate. And history repeats itself.
