The movie is also in a small and cramped space, pushing this guy who doesn't seem to be cruel, and in the thrilling, step by step to the top of the power.
In this space there are Arab gangs, Corsican gangsters, traditional Italian gangsters. The stability of ethnic relations is only relative. For new forces like Malik, who have no collective identity, lack of religion, and even language, it is inevitable to defect at any time. He earnestly studied French in the classroom in prison, but because he was ridiculed by the Arabs who were supposed to be his fellow citizens, he muttered a few words about hatred in Arabic. He was smart, and even learned from the prisoner Luciani. Corsican. Because this kind of intellectual power keeps pace with the times, the fall of the prisoner Luciani has also become inevitable. In a few decades, the Arab population in French society will be in the majority, and even the entire Europa should be renamed eurobia.
Therefore, there is no need for us to regard Malik, who has been released from prison, as a successor boss; there is no need to use the logic of karma to imagine that the 25-year-old has no choice but to enter another greater sin purgatory. , waiting to be replaced by a younger generation. Indeed, at the gate of the prison, he was going to take the bus with his friend's widow, and his younger brother followed him in a lineup of 3 cars. But as smart as Malik, maybe he can really wash his hands and bleach or simply retire!
French gangster films, developed into the 21st century, can fortunately use the mature immigrant social background to show new charm from the setting of character groups to plot contradictions.
PS I noticed that the poster of this film has a black frame next to the name of Niels Arestrup, who plays the role of Prisoner Luciani Sesa. But I really couldn't find any news about his passing.
