Ma 6-T va crack-er

Ma 6-T va crack-er (Standard French: Ma cité va craquer, English translation: My suburbs are Going to Crack, derived from craquer ("break down") and the drug crack cocaine) is a French movie directed by Jean-François Richet in 1997, caricaturing gang warfare. Richet explicitly made in an interview references to marxism-leninism as his ideology to produce this movie.[1]

This influence is strong in one dialog where the teenagers say that a workers' strike is "more powerful against the system" than a ghetto riot. Also, the lyrics of 2Bal2Neg anthem "La Sédition" that we can hear at the end of movie speaks about "class struggle against the bourgeois class" and "a vanguard party founded to overthrow the society".[2]

Setting

The story is set in a cité (6-T in French slang), or housing project, in the Parisian suburb of Meaux. The residents are unhappy about their living conditions, and are rebelling against this. Some critics compare it to the film La Haine, directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and starring Vincent Cassel, as well as to Le Cercle de la haine.

Cast

Impact of the film

French rap did well in the early 90s in France because of its rebellious lyrical content. It is used to illustrate the link between the reality and the atmosphere of this film, and to incite reflection in the viewer.

Artists such as IAM, X-Men, Assassin, KRS-One, 2 Bal, Mystik and more feature on the soundtrack, supporting Jean-François Richet's cinematography.

gollark: Anyway, it looks okay at small scales, so I put it up.
gollark: The version you made which was mostly transparent earlier has some borders on the top.
gollark: <@!425054801798234124> Could you make a sort of smallish transparent version of the YAH logo?
gollark: Well, many do, anyway.
