I also do La Haine but have no predictions sadly, the good thing is you can reuse like 3/4 scenes for nearly any question

I think honestly anything, that’s what’s hard about la haine. It seems that for a lot of years, one is more focused on the film e.g the theme of conflict or a character, and then one is more a general social commentary, or a technique. But to be honest, all the social commentary ones use the same points about La violence entre la police et les banlieusards etc

La Haine was advantages and disadvantages of the film being in black and white and the other was how much you agree with a quote about how the violence in the film makes it hard to watch

basically be as detailed as possible when you describe the plot to get content marks. obviously dont neglect the analysis but be sure to mention as much from the source material as possible (though you dont necessarily need quotes) - like for la haine for example (idk if youre doing that) and youre talking about vinz just be like Vinz who is friends w hubert and saïd in the banlieue finds the policeman's gun during the riots there after the police violence against abdel ichaha and carries it with him throughout the film, creating a source of tension. or something like that. like what theyre examining is how well you know the film so you have to make your knowledge as clear as possible in your analysis - its not like an english lit essay where you can get away with more vagueness and just allusions to plot points and brush over specifics

So we don’t need quotes for the film?? Just really detailed scenes and then brief analysis?

i think you can have quotes but you can always fall into the trap of forgetting a word or not having the exact word for word quote so better to describe the scene properly
