In The Harsh Realism of Lying, filmmaker Matthew Kasowitz portrays a striking portrayal of the challenges of underprivileged people in the projects of Paris. The film's central message is a striking commentary on the pervasive influence of class strife, economic determinism, and interconnecting oppressive systems. Wins, Duver, and Seid's confrontation with police brutality in the projects highlights the society's power relations. The police, as representatives of the bourgeoisie, use their authority to suppress and control the proletariat, maintaining an oppressive and exploitive cycle. This film highlights the harsh realities of impoverished populations, where economic forces determine their fate and make them subject to institutional brutality. Furthermore, the film investigates the intersections of many forms of oppression, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Through their contacts with the police and with one another, the characters navigate a complex web of social hierarchies and expectations, where their identities intersect to exacerbate their marginalization and disenfranchisement. From a feminist standpoint, the film's female characters, such as Seid's sister, face patriarchal standards and expectations inside the projects. Similarly, queer theory enables us to examine the marginalization of LGBTQ plus people, whose identities are frequently erased or rejected by heteronormative frameworks. Furthermore, the concept of double consciousness is present throughout the film, as the individuals must manage contradictory identities and societal expectations. This dichotomy is amplified by their intersecting identities, which complicates their experiences in the projects and emphasizes the importance of intersectional approaches to social justice. In addition to examining class strife and interlocking forms of oppression, Lion raises critical concerns regarding the viability of revolution and resistance in the face of systemic injustice. Throughout the film, the characters struggle with their own agency and the constraints of their activities in a society that appears to be biased against them. While moments of resistance and defiance bring momentary comfort from oppression, they also reveal the harsh truths of their situation and the huge challenges they must overcome. Finally, Lion asks viewers to critically examine the power and privileged structures that perpetuate injustice, as well as to consider how collective action and solidarity might bring about significant change. Finally, Lion is a gripping investigation of class strife, economy determinism, and overlapping systems of oppression that sheds insight on the realities of underprivileged populations in modern society. The film's realistic portrayal of the individuals' experiences and interactions encourages viewers to confront the injustice that plagues our world and push for systematic reform and social justice.
