Translated, it means 'Hate', and that emotion is palpable throughout the story of three young men with no direction, no job, and nothing to do with themselves except kill time by hanging around in one section of the city or another. That's the sort of picture "La Haine" is. In many cases, moral equivalency enters the picture, and we're left to distinguish between bad and less bad.
In today's world, 'right' often comes up empty handed, and often there's a fine line between differentiating the good from the bad. In a lot of cases, civic and moral dilemmas could often be resolved with right winning out over wrong in the end.
After watching this film I reflected back on a whole host of films I've seen produced by Warner Brothers back in the Forties and Fifties, having to do with the subject of poverty and how that can lead to crime and lost lives.
