Hotel Rwanda evaluation action
2022-01-25 08:03
The film does not deliberately portray the horrible and bloody massacre scenes, but instead portrays Paul's tight heartstrings in desperation and the new panic caused by the endless tensions of the tourists staying in the Rwanda hotel at any time. The film seems to deliberately dilute the cruelty of real events, and from a visual point of view, it seems to weaken the overall penetrating power and expressive power. This is also the shortcoming of the film.
Director Terry George chose to show people's behavior, demeanor and psychology when facing life that may be lost at any time, focusing on the psychology of Paul's behavior change. The choice of hotel environment also helped the film avoid the horror scenes of carnage.
Some viewers rated "Rwanda Hotel" as the most sincere and powerful movie in 2004. Of course, this power comes from the true story it draws. The film shows how an ordinary person bursts out in an extraordinary environment. Extraordinary action. This image based on a true story is not just an entrance to provide understanding and memories. It is hoped that the audience should not only be moved by the glory of human nature, but also have the expectation for peace.
