i completely agree. the thing that amazed me even more is how shit the book is. it really shows how important the director is. everything in the film was perfection.

As french grow up in the 93 suburbs of Paris in the 90' i swear this movie is not just fiction

Saw this in an empty theater. Blew me away.

Please do a bottom 10 list regarding highly acclaimed bad films like Substance for example, you have such impeccable taste I’d love to hear why you dislike some of these terrible films as well.

Hubert and Vinz represent restlessness and a willing to fight yet Hubert’s discipline and structure and consistency (displayed in the scene where his demolished gym still has him training despite a “reasonable” excuse not to) creates the distinct difference between how and what they’re fighting for. I think the scene where Vinz finds himself at a Muay Thai event showcases this even more in the lack of real intention as to how he ended up there in the first place beyond ( simply knowing it was taken place and a lack of places to be being that his two friends were just picked up by the cops. Vinz exhibits the idea of a fighter whereas Hubert represents a less black and white take on when to fight, maybe stemming from an idea of less to prove to himself. I love this movie.

this is my favorite movie, thank you for making this incredible video, you break it down so well!

The line "I just thought there would be more" has stuck with me ever since I saw this film in the cinema.

quality vid mate, loved the way u broke it down

This movie should have at least picked up best picture noms.

Bravo

Good review man and sadly under rated. I suggest that u may try some changes in the way of your presentation. ❤

What Makes La Haine a Captivating Masterpiece? Everything. 😉

solid video man i enjoyed it but i woud say its also inspired by 1993 film Menace to society man.

One of the most painful things I have ever experienced. I knew it was coming but I still sobbed audibly

This film has been my favourite since when I 1st see it in 96, growing up and even now I introduce people I know to this. And they all appreciate it and a lot relate to it. For my self when I was growing up each character is the in embodiment of one or another of my close mates growing up on an estate, and now that I’m older I see each as a way I have felt in situations as I’ve got older.

Excellent review. Just watched this film (10th anniversary edition dvd) haven't seen it goes while. Awesome, gets the heart going. It's so good. Also rewatched Diva, Man bites dog, Gook(very similar to Do the right thing) and will be watching Downfall and Pi. Classics. Japanese films next.

Did he not film it in colour and made it black and white in post production? Iv seen pics of it in colour and he did this in case it wasnt successful in the black and white?

Lol some reallt lazy, obvious as well as borderline moronic analysis. "The choice of 90s clothes holds up really well". 😂😂😂 BRO THE MOVIE WAS MADE IM 1995...it wasnt an artistic "choice"

🥷🏻Never forgot La Haine since first watching it in 96! So many iconic scenes. So slick. So relevant now.

not enough is said about this film. Pulp fiction, which came out a year earlier is lauded by the greater Internet as one of the greatest films ever and frankly it doesn’t hold a candle to La Haine. la haine is what cinema should be in my opinion.

Young boy, enjoy those blessed years of adolescence and youth! And so clever and mature at the same time. You’re so right in your description of this work of art. LaLa Land is a real masterpiece ,and we Can number so many things as you just did: MUSIC, performance, colours, funny dialogues sometimes and a knife in our hearts with that last look. Congratulations for your wise review.

The H is silent

Good video, bro. Hope you keep doing it.

Yes. This flik is excellent. Saw it back to back twice when I bumped into it. Than for the rest of the week it was just in the background. I think it's an alternate universe for Dr. Sleep.

Great vid bro

Im doing this for a level french, and this had honestly made me so excited and interrested, so thank you

this movie is perfect, like literally every aspect of it is pure perfection.amazing video man!I Love La La Land

I loved your video! Just finished watching La Haine and after hearing the director’s words that the last few seconds of the movie are the ones that matter (the most) everything fell into place. They really left a mark on me, not that I didn’t love the rest of the film, but I felt like something was missing and the tension kept building up. Cinematography truly is incredible, and your character analysis is so on point!

French Jewish man

0:55 Polish man It wasn’t really about pride They were sent by the Soviets to a labour camp / concentration camp

this movie is a cinematographers' wet dream. A great example of "Show. Don't tell."

Great review. Def in my top 5 movies. After seeing it the other night, im not that usually fickle on top 5s but it’s an astounding movie. The theater was laughing at old man’s story but I totally understood it the way you did. Also the theater was silent for the ending and into the credits but felt the urge to clap at such Great movie, very powerful. Living in Philadelphia thru the 2020 riots and days following felt so much like this movie but I never seen the topic so pinned down from another culture. Truly awesome, deep, heavy and inspiring movie.

One of my favourite movies, awesome video essay!

La hen 🐔🐔🐔🐔

Another awesome small independent creator🙌🏽🙌🏽 Please continue to make videos🎉

Great review for an exceptional movie!

I was raised in such an environment in early 00's but my family was at that time a wellstanding high educated one. Shame that the neighbourhood went really bad. As young and dump I of course chose to be with these kind of people. Therefore I could understand both worlds in the same time. Man this film is so magical it makes me emotional. When I'm watching it I really feel like Im back again, back to that environment back at that age You never forget the feelings of random excitement, disappointment, danger melancholy, anger, optimism and dreams. No other film can give me this mix of feelings like this one.

the progression and growth in Lees character regarding his vulnerability is my favourite aspect of the entire film. especially when you consider the cannibalism as a metaphor for something like addiction or queerness, the fact that the second Lee realised what Maren was, subconsciously his walls were already lowered without him consciously allowing it. in the diner scene, when he asks "do you think im nice", even though it was him who said it he almost seemed more taken aback by the question than Maren was, to the point of getting up and walking away, not just emotionally detatching from his vulnerability but physically removing himself from it as well. juxtaposed with the scene on the hill near the end, he's become so safe and comfortable around Maren that it takes next to no convincing or assurance for him to tell her everything his entire character was built around hiding from everyone up until that point. throughout the film you see little glimpses of his sensitivity, like the way he took off his shirt after Kayla said he looked "like a faggot" in it, but overall he does his best to come off as a very headstrong, arrogant person. "when youre 140 pounds soaking wet you need a big attitude" and all that. it doesnt come as a shock, which is such an impressive theme throughout the film overall but especially here. it completely contrasts everything his character has been shown to be, but it doesnt come as a shock to him or the audience. by the end of the film, he still has his snarky, badass personality, like in the lines "i ate him right the fuck up" and "i felt high as a motherfucker". the difference is that by the end of the film his self assured mannerisms are the core of his personality, not the fascade, to the point of him allowing Maren to be his safety net instead his exaggerated attitude. it's absolutely beautiful, and as if that wasnt enough the entire thing is brought full circle with the dialogue. at the beginning, he asks "do i seem nice?" and is so uncomfortable that he physically removes himself entirely, but by the end hes safe and vulnerable enough to ask "you dont think im bad?" and lets Maren hold him instead. his vulnerability goes from something that pulls the two apart to being the thing that brings them as close as they get in the entire film, physically and emotionally. I absolutely love Lee's development as a character, he might actually be my favourite character out of any media ive come across.

More than anybody else I have seen on youtube, you have good control as far as story-telling and rhetorical analysis goes, two thumbs up. I will be excited to see more of your video essays in the future, you have got talent, do not waste it.

never seen a movie that horrified yet intrigued me this much before

it's so frustratingly difficult to explain and recommend this movie to people 😂 it really hit me hard and I, too watched it a second time after just a couple of days of it haunting my thoughts. so much more became clear and subtlety is exactly the word that was in my mind.

World has changed so much

Good job bro. Do the Right Thing is my favourite film 🎥 🎞 with La Haine a close 2nd.

Wow thank you so much for this video essay, it really helped me understand the movie.

hard to understand unless you're from the hood... no established peace at the beginning, just the same problem disguised as a new one looping over and over... infinetely

Beautiful
