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. 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". 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'', ...

Unfinished Creative Work
An unfinished creative work is a painting, novel, musical composition, or other creative work, that has not been brought to a completed state. Its creator may have chosen not to finish it, or may have been prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond their control, such as death. Such pieces are often the subject of speculation as to what the finished piece would have been like had the creator completed the work. Sometimes artworks are finished by others and released posthumously. Unfinished works have had profound influences on their genres and have inspired others in their own projects. The term can also refer to ongoing work which could eventually be finished (i.e. the creator is still living) and is distinguishable from "incomplete work", which can be a work that was finished but is no longer in its complete form. There are many reasons that a work is not completed. Works are usually stopped when their creator dies, although some, aware of their failing health, make sure t ...
