A Boy Called Hate is
the depressing story of Buba, a young man who has no idea what
direction his life will take, nor does he care.
Coming from a broken
home, Buba resides with his father who suffers from alcoholism
since Buba's mother has left them. Buba has been in trouble
with the law and has just gotten out of Wilson Juvenile
Detention Center for stealing a car. When he arrives home, he
gets into an argument with his drunken dad. Full of anger and
frustration, Buba carves the word "Hate" into his
arm with a razor, gets a gun he has hidden in his room, leaves
the house, jumps on his motorcycle and is off into the night
with no particular place or thing in mind. He comes across a
girl, Cindy, who is being attacked by a man who intends to
rape her. Buba intervenes and saves the girl, but in so doing
he shoots the man. Terrified, Buba and Cindy jump on the bike
and flee the scene. As they ride through the night, Cindy
informs Buba that it was her uncle, a prominent government
official, that he has shot.
Later, when the
couple stop for a bite to eat, they learn from a local
newscast that Cindy's uncle did not die from the gunshot wound
and has identified them as his would-be killers. Hearing this,
the two realize they must start on a painful journey of trying
to elude the police at every turn, either killing or being
killed.
Animal Action:
Animal action is limited to one scene in which a dog
inside the cab of a truck growls at Buba. The dog was placed
inside the truck cab by his trainer and followed verbal
commands to "growl and smile", receiving food as a
reward.
