La Haine Page #6

Synopsis: The film follows three young men and their time spent in the French suburban "ghetto," over a span of twenty-four hours. Vinz, a Jew, Saïd, an Arab, and Hubert, a black boxer, have grown up in these French suburbs where high levels of diversity coupled with the racist and oppressive police force have raised tensions to a critical breaking point. During the riots that took place a night before, a police officer lost his handgun in the ensuing madness, only to leave it for Vinz to find. Now, with a newfound means to gain the respect he deserves, Vinz vows to kill a cop if his friend Abdel dies in the hospital, due the beating he received while in police custody.

Hear the one about the nun?

This drunk guy comes out of a bar,

and walks up to a nun

in this big black cape.

Wham! He slugs her

in her teeth. She goes down

and he keeps on pounding her.

After about 5 minutes he stops,

looks at her and says:

''You're not so tough, Batman!''

That's a killer!

He thought the nun was Batman!

l heard it with a rabbi.

Over here, you!

What's the matter?

l know you!

You were on the roof!

What're you doin'?

Got a problem, you f***?

Scared without your pals?

Not so tough now!

Look at him!

lt's about a society falling...

On the way down

it keeps telling itself:

''So far so good...

''so far so good...

''so far so good...''

How you fall doesn't matter.

lt's how you land!
