Film review on La Haine (Kassovitz‚ 1995) The problem of les banlieues (the suburbs) became particularly prominent from the early 1980’s onwards.

The film ends with the final shot showing Ali dipping his blistered feet in a pool.

The Departures: A Movie Review The Departures are a Japanese film that encapsulates the theme of love in terms of words and actions. This is a plot-oriented film which has a surprising element on how the story develops; from a cellist then to a job far from what he really had imagined- preparing dead bodies for funerals. What’s amazing about this film is that every dead person they had visited has its own story to share; stories with life lessons. One example is about the dead woman with

In both versions of V for Vendetta‚ she represents the “everyman” but in the film she starts off as a strong‚ confident woman instead of an insecure teenage prostitute.
