I feel extremely depressed every time I watch this movie. Not like the happy ending in Schindler's list. Thousands of Tutsi who took refuge in mission schools also ushered in the frenzied slaughter of the Hutu with the withdrawal of the UN peacekeeping force.
In 1994, which is the end of the 20th century, an era of advanced civilization in human history, it is unbelievable that within three months, 1 million people were massacred...
Changes in human nature, persistence, betrayal, guilt, forbearance... ...
it's a movie that's hard to describe. It's always an excruciatingly painful experience when you're trying to recall the plot in a movie to support the emotional description. Father Christopher's transformation, from staying out of the way to stalling for time to rescue children in school. Joe, a young teacher, went from persevering to extreme pain to being helpless in the face of life to leaving Rwanda for his own life. But who of us can confidently criticize him?
In the face of this slaughter, we can see the collapse of the government, the inaction of the United Nations, the inaction of Western powers, the narrow racial awareness of Western journalists, the indifference and concern of developed countries that advertise human rights to the lives of the Rwandan people, especially the Tutsi people. It's just the safety of those white people.
The fragility of life, the insignificance of human beings, the shattering of hope...
...
Sometimes the price of progress in exchange for setbacks is too expensive...
Reflect. Then learn. Then try your best. Just hope some history never repeats itself.
