For anyone interested, La Haine (Hatred) is a fascinating film about a day in the life in the Paris suburbs anno 1995 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113247/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113247/ This quote has stuck with me ever since I first saw it: "C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui tombe d’un immeuble de cinquante étages. Le mec, au fur et à mesure de sa chute se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer : jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien. Mais l'important n’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage." Which loosely translates as: "This is the story of a man falling from a fifty-story building. The guy, during his fall reassures himself by constantly repeating: so far so good, so far so good, so far so good. But the important thing is not the fall, it's the landing."
