Filled with a beautiful raw, black and white cinematography and stunning direction, screen-writing, and acting; La Haine is a movie that took me much by amazement.

La Haine is a French drama/crime film about anger, race, violence, and the harsh police brutality that is set in what seems to be painted as an extremely dull suburbs in Paris. It focuses on three characters whom are Vincent; a Jewish charged with rage and desire to be a gangster, Hubert; an African, smart and cautious boxer, and Said; an Arab who is quite both vigilant and bad tempered with a displeasure of certain aspects in his society. These all draw to la haine as they all consume off of each other's aspects during time in the brutal and dull suburbs, whilst additionally dealing with a tragic event that attaches more hate when their friend Abdel is brutalized by police during a riot and is left in a coma.

Although I found the film to be greatly scripted, directed and acted, I had a minor problem with it's tedious scenarios which seemed to lack pause in dialogues and that made me tiresome on attempting to keep up as I watched it in French with subtitles. The scripting was brilliant, with a very clear and bright manner of delivering it's message and narrative across, however, pauses were missing causing very little disturbances from the world of the protagonists. It felt like the film lacked detail about the world that surrounded them, including more depth in the protagonists' background. What have their life stories been? I wanted to know.
