Relations with immigrant families
According to (Kassovitz), the immigrant families are treated with a lot of suspicion and hatred. The film portrays a high level of racism in the society that originates from the residents of Paris as well as the authority in the area. When Vinz, Sayid and Hubert travel to Paris, they are harassed with racist police officers to an extent that they end up missing their train home. The three are then engaged with racist individuals who beat up Sayid and Hubert, luckily Vinz saved them with the gun he found after the protests.
The violence exerted to the immigrants makes them to engage in violent acts as a survival tactic. In the movie La Haine, Hubert says that hatred gives birth to hatred. As the society treats the immigrants with hatred, they pay it back by more hatred. The society needs to relate with immigrants in a more humane way so that they can both co-exist.
Desperation, Frustration and Loneliness
Instances of desperation are evident throughout the entire film. Hubert’s engagement in drug dealing activities is due to desperation. He understands that he has bills to settle yet he does not have a job. He is also desperate to quit the life of the ghetto and the streets, but he lacks resources to enable him to change his livelihood. Vinz also depicts desperation as he strives and fantasizes of killing a police officer so that he can gain respect among his peers.
Frustration is depicted in the movie by the acts of Vinz, he has encountered many negative scenarios in his life in France to a point that he fantasizes about killing a police officer. The three friends tried to steal a car to take them home because they missed their train when the plain clothes police officers engaged them in unfair interrogations.
Role of police
Whenever Sayid wants to confront the police, his brother who is a police officer restrains him from engaging the police. This portrays the police as members of the community who serve to ensure and maintain law and order. In the other end, when Vinz, Hubert and Sayid are ready to head home, they are harassed by plain clothes police officers. This portrays the negative effects that are experienced in the community when the police take sides instead of protecting the wellbeing of the community.
Two of the three principle characters did not have hatred for the police, and one of them, Hubert, said that their work was to secure them. In any case, Hubert and Sayid, who do not despise the police, are casualties of police severity. This changes their perspectives on the police in light of the fact that now they have encountered police severity. The police need to be objective and fair so as to be an authority that is respected across all divides of the population.
Cultural Misunderstanding
Hubert, Vinz and Sayid live in the out skirts of Paris, a place that is cut off from the city and marginalized. This place has many immigrants living together, a population that is full of differences and diverse challenges. The difference in culture, language and religion makes co-existing together difficult, resulting too many cases of conflicts in the area. These conflicts are magnified by the residents of the rest of France...
