I did the other question - I didn’t revise the characters as much as the themes so it made most sense to me

i chose the vinz and hubert one bc i revised them yesterday so had the points ready

I thought that was nice for No et Moi I chose the question about Lou being naïve and for la Haine I chose the one about relations between the police and the banlieusards but I thought both were good

i feel like nobody did the differences and similarities between hubert and vinz question but i found it really easy, for no et moi i picked the naiveté question which i also found really good. so glad there was no really difficult question for la haine as i feared

i did v et h ! what did u write about

for v and h i compared the similarity in the fact that they both face prejudice in paris which exemplifies the fact that theres a bigger gap between the city and the banlieue than between them with their different skin colours, also about how both have no paternal figure and then explored how both reacted to it and how it makes them both products of the banlieue, then for my differences para i talked about how the use of black and white footage makes them even more physically different, then talked about how hubert was focused on his life goals and escaping the cycle of violence by focusing his energy on boxing whereas vinz' machoism shows that he hasn't learned to deal with anger. also the fact that hubert has the motivation of boxing whereas vinz has no job and wakes up late, shown by them turning up to the boxing gym and hubert already being there. wbu ?

i do!! i did the question on how far you agree with the statement that the film focuses on the apartment because i didn't revise jean-michel or anne-sophie at all 😭 how did you find it?

yay omg I don’t know anyone else who does l’auberge espagnole! & I did the exact same question!!! I think the Jean michel and Anne sophie one could be quite limiting so I didn’t choose it either. Although I think the apartment question was just weirdly worded 😭 i think it went okay tho! I agreed / disagreed because Barcelona & Paris are also important / and semi-agreed because memorable scenes happen in the apartment. how did it go for you??

The L'Etranger question about le proces de Meursault was really good, I was so happy when I saw it ❤️ can't believe that A-Level French is really over

This sounds really good. I made some fairly similar points but I didn't structure it in terms of one paragraph on similarities and paragraph on differences. Rather, I did first paragraph on racial differences which mean Hubert suffers more racism that Vinz (seen in garde à vue when Hubert is molested while Vinz goes to the cinema and then (ironically) goes to watching a boxing match). Second paragraph focused on ambitions and their understanding of the cercle vicieux "la haine attire la haine". Finally spoke about their relationship with the gun and the irony of the ending. Didn't do many similartiies so hoping i won't be penalised for that.
