Huberts bedroom scene

The scene opens with a low angle closeup which positions the audience to sit next to hubert like we are in the room with him. There are two reasons the director has done this, one being how the director wants the audience to sympathise with Hubert, even though he is the most intelligent out of the trio and the one with prospects and wanting escape he is treated worse by the police and the public. The second reason in which the director has positioned the audience next to him is because he is the character we are made to personally identify with, he has the same POV as the media and the public he too hates the projects. Vince and said are too involved in their hate of the pigs and the discrimination they face that we could never truly identify with them as we are not apart of that culture so by using Hubert the director creates a better understanding and reliability to the projects.  Throughout this scene there is no dietetic music by a singer called Isaac Hayes, a black American singer undeniably reinforcing the directors ideologies that the men and women living in the projects adopt a surrogate culture because their own french culture rejects them. As the music continues the lay the camera slowly depicts Hubert making a joint, the stillness of the camera empathises on Hubert's high.
