I watched this movie because I read about the Rwanda massacre when I was studying "International Human Rights Law and Procedure." Writing can also be regarded as a way of stress reduction in Norway, with few friends, little entertainment, and slow internet speed.
In fact, the movie is relatively warm. After all, it is not a documentary. In fact, I am more concerned about the whole slaughter than about the act of saving it. In fact, the introduction is not very correct. It is not that he simply saved more than 1,000 people on his own. The process is very complicated, and his mediation ability is great, but he is just an ordinary Hutu.
Many differences are actually not so obvious or important, but they are used by those who are willing to divide, create some troubles, and hate each other. Many things are not so simple and can be clarified. Colonists often colonize just to create hatred. If there are internal contradictions, they will ignore the external contradictions. It can be said that hutu and tusi are originally from the same root, but they are whiter, have a narrower nose, and are a bit more Belgian. This behavior of measuring a person with a ruler reminds me of the Sami movie "Sami’s Blood". At this time, using tools to measure the behavior of other people’s bodies proves that I am superior to you, and that your body is better than you. Unlike me, you are inferior. It's like a kind of higher civilization's arrogant scrutiny of lower creatures.
This kind of massacre really shocked me. This is not like Stanford’s experiment. When you are in that crazy killing environment, rationality disappears. A power to dominate others will make civilized people better than ordinary people. More brutal. Obviously it is your neighbor and frequent friend, but what you think of at this time is not the friendship of the past, it is the crazy propaganda of the radio station, you don't call your name anymore, it's all contemptuous cockroaches. Sometimes this just shows that man is actually a kind of animal, a kind of animalism is hidden in the body. When the disguise of civilization is taken off, he will really do terrible things.
Human rights have become too weak here at this time. Usually, if there are small incidents, the United Nations will come to mediate and mediate. Such big bloodshed incidents have retreated one by one. Shame is not enough to describe. Without the protection of foreigners, the Rwanda Hotel is a precarious island. The hotel manager was great at this time. First, he bought the neighbour's life for a big price, and then rescued the orphans and let the Tutsi in. His original intention was to save his wife and children, by the way, his relatives, friends and neighbors, and finally to save people within his power. From the beginning to the end, he opposed this massacre, and always thought it was a very ridiculous thing. Many people don't support it, but many people don't even have the ability to protect themselves, let alone save others. He is very good at mediating. Facing the president of Belgian Airways, he was asked to consider 1,000 lives. Facing the general, he first bribed and then ran out of money. He was asked to consider the trial of the United Nations. He was passionate about the hotel staff. Speeches stimulate everyone's desire to survive. If it is not for such a wise person, who has worked in hotels for many years and has insight into the complexity of human nature, it would be difficult to save so many people in the hands of militiamen blinded by hatred. The sword has no eyes. Under the emotion of the crowd, who will listen to what he says, so he can only use others, use Westerners, and use generals' arms.
This movie cannot be called a movie, it is called a vivid science and education movie. It is not for viewing, but for interrogating your own soul. When you are involved in this torrent of hatred, can you stay awake? Can you always remember that the right to life is above all else? Always be vigilant for speech that incites hatred. Peace is not enjoyed now and never thought of. It requires constant efforts to maintain and resist.
