La Haine Words

• Bleak - I have chosen this word as it shows the desolate nature of their lives and the environment that they live in. The characters living in the project have little opportunity in their lives to escape poverty, making bleak future with no prospects for many characters.
• Action-Packed
• Hopeless
• Sexist
• Pessimistic - this word describes La Haine as there is a tendency for bad outcomes, for example, Hubert builds a gym for the people of the project to spend time in rather than resorting to crime from violence, however the gym is burned down, we clearly see Hubert during this scene losing hope and resorting back to drug use.
• Real - This word describes the film well as it was about the riots at the time, including real footage from those. Also the actors, director and crew from the film lived in a real project to better inform themselves of the nature of poverty which resides in the projects, in order to convey the realest performance which they possibly could. 
• Menacing
• Enjoyable
• Exciting - 
• Tense - The last scene creates tension as we see the gun in the centre of the frame which was a motif throughout the film, showing that violence was at the centre of the film, we see 
• Heroic
• Innovative
