There is so much helplessness in the world

I think after watching the movie, many people will say that the United Nations is just a decoration or that it is nothing but dry food, but I want to say that in many cases the situation is not as simple as we thought. It is impossible to completely deny the efforts and dedication of the United Nations. This would be unfair to any peacekeepers who sacrificed to maintain world peace. Don't rush to spray others, think about what the peacekeepers are doing when they sacrifice their lives for peace! The negative performance and inaction of the United Nations in the Rwanda massacre is indeed outrageous, but the United Nations has done something in some events in history. After the movie, the French peacekeepers came to the school to pick up the white people and leave. However, if you take the Tutsi into the car, no one will be able to leave. It can only be said that in many cases individuals and even organizations are powerless. I don't know much about the hatred of Tutsi and Hutu in Rwanda; just like love, there are many hatreds in the world that cannot be explained. As Father Christopher said, the believers are only taught to go to the Mass and go home after eating the bread. It is believed that many Hutu children or Tutsi children have been taught to hate each other since they were young. The good news is that there will always be people like Father Christopher walking with love under any circumstances. But he also recognized Joe’s answer to Maria’s question of why he left: I’m afraid to death.

Shooting Dogs quotes

  • Joe Connor: How much pain can a human being take? If you feel enough pain, does everything just shut down? Before you've done it.

    Christopher: I don't know, Joe.

    Joe Connor: Cause you think no one knew. You think that it'd be something... Something that you designed, you know, shed or fell. If you feel enough pain.

    Christopher: I hope so.

    Joe Connor: Yeah, God knows it. Maybe we should ask him. He's still around.

  • Roland: Capitaine Delon. Capitaine. I have a polite request. It's just from all of us, the people of Kuchekiro and refugees of this school.

    Roland: [takes out a piece of paper and reads from it] We are all fathers, mothers, sons, daughters. We are all one family now. And that is as one family that we wish to die. Therefore we politely request just before you leave us that your soldiers use their guns to kill us. We do not wish to be killed by machete. The bullets will kill us all quickly. And it will be much less pain.

    Capitaine Charles Delon: I'm sorry I can not agree to your request.

    Roland: Please. If not for us... Please spare the children the pain.

    Capitaine Charles Delon: I am sorry.

    Roland: Please, just the children.

    Capitaine Charles Delon: I can not help you.
