La Haine (1995) Candid Camera Story

There is a scene in this movie where they cut to a kid telling a silly story about a celebrity expecting to be pranked, but nothing happens, which causes the prank. Why do you think they included this in the movie?
I didn't see this posted so I wanted to make sure everyone sees it and the whole movie.

Also this scene shows how there's nothing going in in their neighborhood, everytime they find something like the bbq or this it last few minutes before realising it's nothing

Le petit est juste impressionnant comment il enchaîne son texte....

[@Altamira_]

Il manque "Et c'était qui le mec ? " "Je sais pas mais c'était un mec connu"

[@ugoreke]

maybe the story is a gun analogy. the candid camera situation is pregnant to an eruption, the celebrity just doesn't know when is it gonna happen and what is it gonna be like. just like vinz carrying a pistol, we just know something's gonna happen and wait for it. at any rate, these are the "how you fall doesn't matter" scenes of the film, and the boredom scenes like this one and the grunwalski make this film so great imo

[@ugoreke]

turkish ppl have a special verb for what the kid is doing btw. it is so part of the life there. called plastering (alçilamak), the kid is making a perfect example of it. making someone listen to you talk without a reason. i find that especially funny about this scene. vinz is totally plastered

[@fanda6122]

@@ugoreke exactly i think among other things like pride, violence, "respect", etc the film is a comment on boyhood and this is part of it. as a kid you are powerless in the world, out of boredom you commit petty crimes with your friends, you potter about on your bike doing nothing, you have conversations about nothing, you are all inept with girls and everyone has a chip on their shoulder

[@thomasdupont7186]

Dude you're overthinking it. This scene is mostly about the lack of entertainment, the boredom, the lack go goals and stimulations....

I never noticed the graffiti on top of the rollers. L' Avenir c'est nous, and La Ville c'est nous tous. So many details in this movie, it's unreal!

[@cartercrisco2524]

I love how simple the camera movement is as in just letting the scene play it out in the one push in: its immediacy to the kid really lets you engage with his conversation.

[@time558]

Cassel said he met this kid years later, he is huge now, a very big guy he said.

[@nataliep6385]

It is crazy to think that Vincent Cassel was 17 here. He really had/has that gangsta look and is a tall wide guy aswell.

[@1panomotion847]

He was 26 in 1994 not 17

[@time558]

28!

[@arepasexo]

What must be the meaning of this

[@chrisdryer]

What I think - I think the whole scenario plays out like - the actor knew they were going to prank him, and kept looking for the prank until it became the prank. Like… nowadays, if you are looking at cops like they are targeting you for your skin color, then you look suspicious because you look at them with suspicion, and it gives them a reason to stop you, and you think it is because of skin color while it is because you look like you are acting guilty or suspicious yourself for no reason from the cop’s perspective. It creates this self fulfilling prophesy.

[@arepasexo]

TY i was thinking something similar but i couldnt put it to words

[@1panomotion847]

and when the kid said he doesn't know to Vinz as a last reply to his question , it symbolises the fact that we don't know what happened at the end of the film. Perfect technique used by Kassovitz

[@cherylno583]

its just emphasising the boredom of the "cité": saiid is in the background throwing stones bc hes bored, hubert is randomly punching, the point is to show the lack of opportunity and the "syndrome de porche", the reason for which they commit delinquencies.

[@chrisdryer]

@@cherylno583 - I don't think "just" emphasizing boredom... It is the environment true, but I think the words matter also to the overall theme... I mean... most bored people talk about getting laid or something to do...

Boys need strong men to look up to.

[@renbazuru]

you guys can keep making up what this story means 😂😂 on the dvd commentary Kassovitz said the whole point of the the story was that it was pointless. telling the story was a waste of time. "I don't know." reflective of how the young men were really wasting their lives. nothing to do with racial profiling or the ending of the movie. but you can keep pretending to be a genius 🥱

[@chrisdryer]

ehhh... most people don't know the deeper meaning of why they include things. It seems to fit, and they didn't edit it out.
