1 | ! Vinz |
2 | |
3 | !!!'''Played by:''' Creator/VincentCassel |
4 | |
5 | ---- |
6 | * [[spoiler:TheHeroDies]]: In the final moments of the film. |
7 | * InformedJudaism: He's wearing a necklace with a Star of David on it, and he's shown [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6MzMA7kfafw dreaming about dancing a traditional Jewish dance]]. |
8 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The tough [[{{Delinquents}} delinquent]] [[LowerClassLout raised in Paris' roughest neighborhood]] is ultimately motivated by grief for his fallen friend, and is shown to be rather sensitive and protective of his other two friends. |
9 | * ManlyTears: Vinz is brought to tears when he's [[spoiler:about to kill the skinhead, but realizes he's unable to]]. |
10 | * NiceJewishBoy: Averted. He's the most violent of the trio, even though he is a NiceGuy [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold deep down]]. |
11 | * PaperTiger: Despite his violent fantasies and brash threats, when faced with the opportunity to murder a neo-Nazi skinhead, he's unable to carry out the deed. |
12 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Vinz vows that if his friend Abdel succumbs to police-inflicted injuries, he'll [[CopKiller kill a police officer]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge as payback]]. |
13 | * YouTalkinToMe: Vinz reenacts this. |
14 | |
15 | ! Hubert |
16 | |
17 | !!!'''Played by:''' Hubert Koundé |
18 | |
19 | ---- |
20 | * ActualPacifist: Hubert is vehemently anti-violence, in contrast to his rage-filled friend prone to violent fantasies. |
21 | * NeutralNoLonger: Throughout the film, Hubert takes a subdued, pacifistic approach to the conflict he's surrounded by. The death of [[spoiler:Vinz]] ultimately spurs him into taking a stand, and a potentially violent one at that (one interpretation of the AmbiguousEnding is that [[spoiler:Hubert killed the policeman who killed Vinz, ultimately carrying out the deed he worked so hard to prevent]]). |

24 | |
25 | !!!'''Played by:''' Creator/SaidTaghmaoui |
26 | |
27 | ---- |
28 | * GraffitiOfTheResistance: Saïd appears to seek resistance through graffiti. In the very first scene, he vandalizes a police car with "baise la police" ("fuck the police"). Later, he changes a billboard which reads "le monde à vous" ("the world is yours") to "le monde à nous" ("the world is ours"). |
29 | * HeroicBSOD: After witnessing [[spoiler: the death of his closest friend before his very eyes]], the final shot of the film is Saïd's horrified, broken expression. |
30 | * PluckyComicRelief: Saïd spends most of the film dutifully following Vinz around, trying to make him laugh. |

33 | |
34 | !!!'''Played by:''' Karim Belkhadra |
35 | |
36 | ---- |
