On the other hand, the fact that American cinema audiences found it hard to relate to the movie could show the pressure on modern cinema to become homogeneous in nature to have a realistic attempt at finding a global market. The fact that this film made it to the top 15 in international cinema charts could be seen to undermine the global power of the big cinema corporations in controlling what is culturally produced, and what becomes popular. Whilst there are recurring themes from American popular culture within the movie, in terms of Vinz’s imitations of Robert De Niro from Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, the production is undoubtedly French. La Haine is a representation of French youth culture and would therefore arguable have the effect of global cultural diversity, rather then uniformity. However, this would not support the popular argument that globalisation leads to an increasing global uniformity of society. In terms of debates around globalisation these facts would support the idea that we are now able to view cultural symbols from areas that aren’t necessarily local. Whilst La Haine was made with a relatively small budget of 1.5 million pounds it grossed around 300 thousand dollars and achieved distribution in both Britain and America. The film received a great response in France and is now popular in Britain and parts of North America. The film is set in ‘les banlieues’ in Paris and based around three main characters who differ greatly not just in their ethnicity, but also their outlook on reality. His reason to kill a police officer is so that he may avenge Abdel.La Haine is a French black and white drama/suspense film directed by Matthew Kassovitz.Auguste Blanqui was French socialist who advocated for "Revolutionary Socialism".Could be a representation of August Blanqui.When the black girl at the art gallery asks Hubert "On s'est pas dejà amis de quelque part?" It is a reference to a film that the two starred in called Métisse.Said: Vas-y fais travail comme tout le monde!.Vinz: Tout de ce merde pour cinqcent francs? Said: C'est pas pour l'argent, c'est le principe.Goes to Paris to get money from Asterix.Said is a "drug businessman" Very money-minded.Said tries to switch off the Eiffel Tower by clicking his fingers.The child sitting next to Vinz in the cinema copies his actions - smoking and imitating the pistol.Vinz wishes to kill a police officer like Travis Bickle wished to kill Palantine and Iris' pimp.Vinz's idea of vigilante justice is the same as that of Travis Bickle.Vinz in the cinema is reminiscent of Travis Bickle in the cinema.Example of how the children of this generation are so influenced by television film and other people.The scene in Paris where the 3 protagonists debate Hercules and Roadrunner.Reminds us that La Haine not real like a documentary of banlieue life.Many scene changes are shown via a screen displaying the time.Notre Dame policeman who brandishes his gun at Vinz then accidentally shoots him.Corrupt policemen exercise their power over others.Vinz's desire for power is a cause for his anger to the police and authority.Dolly shot to Vinz's gun resembles travelling down the barrel of a gun.
Conservateur de la galerie d'art: *after escorting Vinz, Said and Hubertout of the galerie* C'est la banlieue *shrugs*.Nobody is willing to do anything to help the situation in the banlieue.The future in the banlieue is not bright.Hubert seeing the syringes on the floor and above him a sign says "L'avenir c'est nous".Vinz starts off immature and arrogant yet dies as soon as he grows up and learns to forgive.
