      to live

      Since I came into contact with "foreign aid", I have never understood why our country spends so much money on foreign aid. For example, in our project, the Ministry of Commerce wants to invite them to learn our technology. It is not enough to include food, accommodation, play, and round-trip air tickets. It also gives them 80 yuan of pocket money every day. The office, the first-hand bag of domestic affairs and foreign affairs, and jumping up and down like a monkey every day is only 600 yuan a...

      They say "That's scary!" and go on to their dinner

      When it comes to refugees, I think of Yao Chen's meager comment not long ago that many people accused her, and the Chinese still couldn't help her, so why did she go overseas to help refugees. Yao Chen carefully described some of the difficulties in China and the difference between real refugees abroad.
        When you are in an area that is out of control, this kind of helplessness and panic, I think it is really incomprehensible.
        There is no law, killing will come anytime, anywhere,...

      Hotel Rwanda - if you are Tutsi

      The constant irritability felt a little absurd to me, so I watched "Hotel Rwanda" in my absurd time, but after I didn't want to watch it, I felt more uncomfortable. .

      ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

         The racial hatred in Rwanda originates from the racial conflicts left over from the colonial period, and these contradictions have been used infinitely by careerists under the trend of political and economic interests. The media has become the biggest...

      Under the situation, the crisis of the individual whose conscience was taken by the dog

      Paul shines with humanity in the sins and crises of the world, and jokes about the cruelty and indifference of Western society in the massacre in Rwanda. In the turbulent era of war, the helpless little people are staring at the so-called hope of the future. The longing for life and happiness of dark Africans, whose great powers have won a vote, seems feeble.
         The Western-style brainwashing affects Paul until the end of the film. Paul, who is sophisticated, serves as the room manager of...

      The tragedy caused by "Western civilization"

      We would not have thought that 21 years ago, a genocide came to Africa, to Rwanda. This is another genocide after the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people during World War II, the difference between the two is less than half a century. I think the ethnic cleansing in Rwanda is the result of the entry of Western civilization, and it is the tragic result of Western civilization.
        I checked the data, as early as the 16th century, Rwanda had its own country. Although there are Hutu people and...

      Archives 2015.3.5.7pm The races that the colonists produced locally, but when disasters happen, they don't treat them as people (whites) and give them "human" treatment. The four-star hotels are already the most classy people in the country, and the real victims can only hide in the fog and pile up by the river as corpses run over by...

      You free the victim and get out of the quagmire. The victims brought this story to everyone, and they still disagreed after reading the story. Although you will fight against this massacre, where are you before and...

      Looking at many reviews and comparing it with Schindler's list, it can't surpass Lao Si's classic masterpiece in terms of artistic level. However, the Rwanda Hotel shot is simple, but it is also real enough to shock people. Human beings have always carried out cruel persecution with and without blood on each other for various reasons. I have always admired those who are willing to do their best in times of crisis, and even risk their lives to lend a helping hand. Most of them were those who saw...

      In the face of life and death, the brilliance and ugliness of human nature are immediately evident. So I deeply feel that in the face of the criminal massacre, any country and nation should make unremitting efforts to stop this crime, even if they are poor and far away. May the dead rest in peace and the living...

    Behind the scenes gags

    "Rwanda Hotel" is classified as PG-13. It is no easy task to control such a film based on the Rwandan genocide at this level.
    In order to perform this film well, the actor Don Chandel carefully studied the true story that happened in Rwanda. But like most Westerners, he has no understanding of the origins of hatred between the two races.
    In the process of preparing for the shooting, he also emailed and called Paul himself to ask about...

    Evaluation action

    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...
