This film has an intentional vague structured plot that basically plays out as a day in the life of our protagonists who come from three distinctly different ethnic cultures. Vinz a hotheaded jew, Saïd an arab who is the prankster and the most naïve of the three, and Huebert an

  • Symbolism In Night By Elie Wiesel

    995 Words  | 4 Pages

    It was in Auschwitz during 1944, at the time of arrival about midnight when the smell of burning flesh saturated the air. There was an unimaginable nightmare of a truck unloading small children and babies thrown into the flames. This is only one event in its entirety of endless events to be remembered in order to understand how deeply literal and symbolic the book entitled Night by Elie Wiesel is. The novel brings light to the reader about what the Jews faced while in fire, hell and night; nonetheless, the author portrays each and every day during this year as a night in hell of conflagration. "Were this conflagration to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes."

  • Social Issues In La Haine

    338 Words  | 2 Pages

    La Haine is underlined by a ticking clock, and by Hubert’s story of a man falling (Kassovitz’s metaphor for the banlieue as social time bomb). Conflict in the working-class banlieue was a common occurrence before La Haine. The cités social problems include: run-down housing, a high populace of young people from immigrant backgrounds, drugs, and widespread unemployment. Just like in the film, they are regularly portrayed in the media as violent, dysfunctional areas. Vinz, Hubert, and Said’s isolation is representative of the social gap that separates the haves from the have-nots, the majority from the underclass, and the city center from the banlieue.

    The film, Crash, emphasizes the differences of cultures and classes. It focuses on the reality that we are all individuals and that adaptation of the human condition is hopeless. That the need to compete and the desire to win are more important than the justification for human decency. The tension of social and racial tension throughout this film I believe widens the chasm of discussion. I believe this because this film can be interpreted differently by individuals.
