'La Haine' words

Bleak
This word reminds me of their lives as they have no real intensions to start their day, they have no interests in life other than to pass time doing simply nothing. As society looks down on them, being at the bottom of the economy, they start to believe their worthless efforts and live up to their plain lives and getting up to no good through boredom.

Enjoyably
This expression describes their thrill of getting up to no good. They enjoy making mischief as it is all they've ever known. The film shows their efforts of making the world their own, however continuing to fail and being treated like a bane of everyone's life.

Real
This word describes the intensions of the director, Mathieu Kassovitz, as he wanted the film to reveal what happens to people who live on the poverty line, in these estates. He had Saïd, Vinz and Hubert live in the conditions of this environment for 6 months prior to the making of the film in order for them to get more of an insight to the emotions of the characters.

Menacing
The way in which the three youths purposely create mayhem when they get bored as if they have nothing better to do with their time. They enjoy pushing their limits with authority and fulfilling their desire to be known. This results in the exclusive evidence of corrupt authority.

Tense
This film is very intense as we're introduces to their culture straight away conveying how different it is to our lives. This film emphasises a sense of realism as we see an array on eye level shots, this causes a more shock factor as they're used to the poverty lifestyle. Moreover, the intensity is increased through the inevitability of violence throughout the film and accentually their lives. Their desensitisation of crime and violence cause tense within the audience as it isn't something we expect people to be used to.
