I never thought of them as humans with cannibalism, they seemed more like a type of vampire which was inherited through a parent. I have to agree this movie is amazing. Very rarely can I say I cried at the end of a horror type movie. It is such a masterpiece a story about understanding people who want to belong but never can. One of the things that I noticed and absolutely loved was the blood spot on the nurses uniform in the asylum. It was a detail that makes you feel put off. It’s like you said the blood on white makes you feel something so visceral.

Michael Stuhlbarg scared me more than anyone else. His 'Jake' is absolutely depraved, getting 'Deliverance' vibes here. This movie reminds me a lot of 'Badlands' by Malick insofar the leads do absolutely horrifying things, but there is an air of innocence above all.

I feel like the Characters represent a different parts of the Banlieue, Vinz represents the young adults, radicals more prone to revolutionary violence, Hubert represents the old heads, those who fought and recognised the futility thus moved towards peaceful living over violence, and Saïd represents the youngest generation, the kids who are greatest influenced by their surroundings. The film in my opinions is just this story that has existed in the banlieue forever, the old trying to steer the youngest from glorified violence until the aggression of the young adults (Vinz) leads to death / tragedy which leads to the continuation of the cycle (Sorry for bad English I am French)

I absolutely cannot bear horror and gore but I had to watch Timothee Chalamet who did a phenomenal job as Lee. Very compelling. Loving and murderous. I was able to cover my eyes on the gory scenes pretty easily because I'd read a plot description. Thank you for this excellent, thoughtful review. I agree Taylor Russell did an excellent job as well carrying the whole movie.

La Haine was actually filmed in color originally but changed to black and white in post production btw
@jojorilu25 күн бұрын
Yupp, I've read that he save the colored version of the black and white wouldn't get the traction. The black and white is super important in this movie, because it helps with the focus of the characters and all the undertones in the movie. With color it would be more impressions throughout the film and would lead some focus elsewhere

That’s my favorite movie of all times. I was born 1980 and that was the first movie that represented our lifestyle. Hanging around, making trouble, having problems with the police, no plan for the future. We watched that movie over and over again and we found ourselves in the characters. We interpreted the Grunwalski Story as a general lesson about society and people who are far away from it. Everytime you reach your hand the trousers fall down, that means something stupid happens and you stumble. At the end of the movie Vinz reaches his hands and hands out the gun to Hubert, they all get a little bit closer to society, but then the trouser falls down and Vinz gets shot by the police. The story is the key to the movie. God how many evenings did we discuss about that movie. A truly masterpiece, for me the best movie ever.
@jojorilu25 күн бұрын
I would say that the Grunwalski story is a reflection of Vinz pride. That he stumbles fue to his pride and someday that pride will put you in a situation that might cost you your life. Not saying that's what the director meant, but that's the beauty of this film, the many perspectives on plot, scenes, characters and hidden messages.

What I love about the audition scene is how it contrasts the rest of the movie. La La Land is famous for its beautiful visuals and its use of color theory (like it was discussed in this video) yet when you get to the audition scene, which is arguably the climax of the film, all you see is Mia singing against a black background. No extravagant outfit, no choreography, just Mia standing there singing her heart out. It shifts the focus from what you see to what you hear, which is Mia singing about her lifelong dream and its origin. The encapsulation of La La Land's message. This really is the rare movie that the more you dive in and watch it and study it, the better it gets. La La Land is as close to a perfect film as it gets in my opinion

Omg a friend recommended this as it was free on iPlayer. I just don’t get it… why on earth is this considered a masterpiece? The title is pretty fitting though… I absolutely hated it!! Had to just fastforward through big chunks of it just to see to the end. Are we supposed to feel hatred towards the police and empathy towards the main characters? How come I’ve never in my life experienced any brutality from the police? Is it maybe because I’m not breaking law, stubbing people, using drugs and rioting? I think police is not brutal enough, it’s not even strict enough with the likes of those depicted in this grim black-and-white (an attempt to make it more original? But made it even grimmer than it is) “masterpiece”.

I dissagree I think the movie was mid at best. The way the characters acted the whole time made it apparent to me that they are deserving, if not directly responsible for the bad lives they live. And the police were being too soft on what was essentially a group of violent thugs eagerly waiting for a chance to kill or pick another stupid fight over trivial shit. I think the message about police brutality and systemic injustice falls flat when you consider just how often they were let off easy. And how their lives would improve dramatically if they simply dressed and acted respectfully rather than being a vengeful nuisance all the time.
