Representation

La Haine

La Haine is a film about these three young lads called Said, Hubert and Vinz who's friend was injured during a riot and is critically injured in hospital. One of them wants to get revenge and says if his friend dies then he will shoot a police officer because of the way they treated his friend Abdel. And once Abdel dies vinz who found a cops gun that was lost during the riot starts to fantasises himself killing a cop to get in his eyes justice for his friend. The film was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and some of the production companies where Egg Pictures, Canal+ and many more



In La Haine the cops are represented as the bad guys that dosen't like the young people that live in France. They are also represented as acting like bullies and that they pick on the younger generation. However not all of the cops are represented as bad people for example one of the cops tries to help the main characters and tries to keep them out of trouble so they don't wind up like there friend in the hospital or so that they don't get sent to jail.

La Haine is an intense film with a shock ending that people wouldn't see coming or that they wouldn't expect to happen. Some other films that focus on representation are Kidulthood, Adulthood and
Girlhood.



















Girlhood

Girlhood is a film about four girls who go into central Paris to have a good time and enjoy themselves. It is mostly centred around one character who as the film goes on changes her personality. Who has an abusive brother. She then goes and works for a drug dealer and before the hat she joins a gang who steals and disrespects people people.

The film mainly focuses on race and gender and how girls are represented in Paris and how they treated. Also the girls in the film are represented as being being very bad people and also very violent as well. And how family members see girls for example the brother disrespect's and abuses her until she beats up a girl them he starts to respect her.

Girlhood is an interesting film which has an ending which people will have different views on the ending for example some people will think about what will Vic do next and why she wouldn't go into her home. Also people will think about where her life is heading.
