Falling Metaphor:(00:50)
Society is a free-fall, its crumbling, it is being destroyed by the riots. There is racism fence in society. The opening credits and the footage of real life rioting are accompanied by Bob Marley and the Wailers song. This song is very significant because it has a connection to the historical context to the Jamaica riots.
Said's and Vinz's introduction:(5:12)
The camera movement throughout this film is consistently slow. This suggests that life and society is slow in Paris. There are close up shots to show the characters facial introduction. There is slow tracking shot of the police to establish how many "pig's" there are. In Vinz's room there is a close up on his ring and there is a pan around his room, which shows that he shares with his sister. This suggests that there is no space as stereotypically a brother and sister wouldn't normally share a room when they are at the age. There are many American references in these scenes. For example, posters of famous American shows and films are mentioned, "Rambo" and "WWE". There is also intertextual reference to taxi driver. In this scene we learn about two characters and their background. Firstly, both characters are Jewish and that they're a religious family. There is a generational opposition between the old and new. Secondly, the conversation that Vinz has with his family tells us that there is opposition with his grandma. they also talk about a "school that has burnt down" the tone that this said shows this a daily occurrence and has become the "norm" of society and that there is no hope since everything has been destroyed.
Hubert's introduction: (10:35)
During Hubert's introduction we find out that Hubert wants to start a gym, this shows that Hubert seems to have a dream and hope which is juxtaposed with society where there seems to be none. The characters introduce us by talking to him. Hubert seems to be more respectful towards his family then Vinz. They talk about "education" this shows that they're trying to get through the situation.
