Small countries are just wrestling fields for big countries

In the film "Hotel Rwanda", there is a line of dialogue from a reporter from a Western country: "You think people will watch what you film, so people will care about the situation here? I don't think so, they will say while watching TV. : "Oh my God, that's horrific!" Then move on to dinner."


Be mentally prepared to watch this movie about the genocide, a genocide that killed more than a million people. Yet there is so little direct portrayal of the carnage that I honestly feel like a failure to shoot like that. Well, I admit it's just a movie, not a documentary. I once saw a short documentary filmed by the BBC. The piles of skeletons and the worn-out clothes scattered in the church were the most real spiritual shock.

The point that comes up more than once in the movie is that Black Lives Matter is worthless. Black people said it, white people said it. This reminds me of a scene from the Iraq War: a woman uprooted by the war facing the camera with her child in her arms, complaining, "Why is our fate so miserable? Why are we also human, and we live so lowly?" That face The shock that it brought lingers to this day.

Where is "liberty, equality, fraternity"? Where is the "world police"? The so-called democracy, freedom and humanity are just an excuse to seize profits, the so-called masters are famous, the so-called occupying the moral high ground, the so-called want to be a bitch and want to set up a chastity arch. No one really pays attention to this place. For a weak country and a small country, if there is no interest for exploitation and plunder, even the wrestling field of a big country is not worthy.

The indifference of certain countries to the Rwandan genocide and the enthusiasm for the situation in the Middle East has only made us realize once again that those beautiful slogans and doctrines are nothing but ridiculous lies. If you have no use value, then you are not even qualified to be deceived.

    The black version of Schindler's List, witnesses the trajectory of an ordinary person becoming a hero, and his story will continue to circulate in sacred words. Even if the movie hopes to make the details human, but from the beginning, he has been a god. Such a biography of a tree monument must be touching, sad and sacred. What is more worth thinking about in this film is the scientific division of the Belgians and the people of the world who watched the massacre as the origin of the ethnic conflict. Science and human nature have pros and cons

    Shocking the heart, why the racial conflicts and killings in this world can never be wiped out, why can't we have a universal world and utopia that belongs to all mankind, the Rwanda Hotel is love, redemption, hope, and the most basic conscience of human nature. As soon as the ending song played, I couldn't control myself any longer.
