La Haine

Bleak- La Haine is bleak as nothing really happens in the film until the last couple of minutes when vine is shot. They do nothing when they are in the project as there is nothing to do, and when they hit paris things start to pick up but it is still very minimal in the action department. I think the black and white filter makes it even more bleak as it dulls everything down.

Real- La Haine is real as it shows what its really like in the projects and the lack of opportunity they have. It also shows the police brutality that happens and shine light on issues often ignored by the media. In one of the scenes it shows how the media manipulate what the viewers think. The film is also very real as the cast and film makers lived in the projected before making the film to get a real feel of what its actually like.

Hopeless- La Haines characters have a feel of hopelessness to them as all they do is it around all day and cause trouble. Even when they try to do something to better themselves, for example, huberts gym, it gets ruined and the sense of hopelessness kicks in. The film is very the glass is half empty and has a cycle of hopelessness-hope-hopelessness about it.

Tense- The last scene in La Haine is these as you don't really know what has happened and do not know who has been shot. There is also other scenes that are tense, many of them with conflict in, especially between hubert and vinz. Also when the police are involved a tense vibe sets in the film as the police are unpredictable and corrupt in the film.
