History Film / LaHaine

* DownerEnding: IJustShotMarvinInTheFace leads to a MexicanStandoff leads to a BolivianArmyEnding. We are to assume that [[spoiler: two of the protagonists die.]]

* DownerEnding: See IJustShotMarvinInTheFace.

* CrapsackWorld: The suburbs of Paris are depicted as this.

* VertigoEffect: In a scene half-way through the movie (see image on top of this page), the three boys stand on a bridge or rooftop and the street behind them goes through the Vertigo Effect.* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: Where did that Cow come from? Where did she go?

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Originally filmed in color, changed in production by Kassovitz himself.

* PoliceBrutality: a particularly brutal vicious circle relationship between the Paris police and a group of teenage thugs from the local banlieues. The police raid the deprived banlieues, the people who live there fight back, which means the police crack down harder on the area, which means the people start rioting...[[spoiler:It eventually culminates in the police shooting an unarmed teenage boy, and one officer and the boy's best friend holding guns to each other's heads. And then the screen goes to black and a single gunshot is heard. End of film.]]

* SittingOnTheRoof: People in France seem to love this trope.

* WireDilemma: The three have no idea how to short-circuit the starter of the car they broke into.
* YouTalkinToMe? : Reenacted by Vinz.

* BlownAcrossTheRoom: A police officer is blown back into a window when shot by Vinz' during one of his {{Imagine Spot}}s.

* ImagineSpot: Vinz has these, seeing cows on the street. Another one involved a police officer being BlownAcrossTheRoom.

* ItWasHereISwear: Vinz after one of his {{Imagine Spot}}s trying to convince Saïd that there was a cow crossing the street.
* MexicanStandoff: The last scene where Hubert and the other gang member are pointing guns at each other. [[spoiler:[[TakingYouDownWithMe It doesn't end well]]]].

* SilentCredits: The impact of the last scene is enhanced by having the end credits rolling without a sound.

'''''La Haine''''' (English: "''Hate''") is a 1995 black and white French movie, directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and set in the modern-day slums at the north of Paris -- more precisely, in [[{{Gangsterland}} Seine-Saint-Denis]], aka "93" or "neuf-trois" from its department number. Centering around a trio of banlieusards, the film follows them through a roughly 24 hour period from the morning after a riot, through run-ins with the police and unreliable fences, a night wandering around central Paris and back home. The three main characters are Vinz, a hot-headed Jew; Saïd, a wisecracking graffiti artist Beur[[note]] The term Beur is slang meaning any French-born descendant of North African Muslim immigrants.[[/note]]; and Hubert, the oldest and wisest of the three, who is black. Together, they face prejudice not just because of their races but also because, as banlieusards, they are assumed to be thugs - a reputation they find themselves earning uncomfortably often.

* [[spoiler: IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: What kills Vinz at the end of the film.]]

* TheDanza: Vinz, Saïd and Hubert are played by '''Vincent''' Cassel, '''Saïd''' Taghmaoui and '''Hubert''' Koundé, respectively.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Thought that skinhead looked a little familiar? It's Nino, from {{Amelie}}. Who also directed the movie. His father also appears as the owner of an art gallery.
** Fans of French film might recognize one of the police officers as Djamel, the adorably awkward and good-natured neighbor from ''Chacun Cherche son Chat'' (titled ''When the Cat's Away'' in the U.S.), played by Zinedine Soualem. In ''La Haine'', he is not so [[{{PoliceBrutality}} adorable]].
** This was [[BlackSwan Vincent]] [[OceansEleven Cassel]]'s [[RetroactiveRecognition breakthrough role]].
** When some dudes are discussing about guns and ''[[Film/{{LethalWeapon}} Lethal Weapon]]'' on the barbecue roof ? The one talking about a "Glock 9mm", Benoît Magimel, got famous and did the sequel of ''[[{{TheCrimsonRivers}} The Crimson Rivers]]'', the first one starring none other than Vincent Cassel and directed by... Mathieu Kassovitz.

* CreatorCameo: Director Mathieu Kassovitz briefly appears as a skinhead.
