The conflict between the two ethnic groups has a long history. As described in the movie, when Rwanda faced colonial rule, Belgium chose the taller and more elegant Tutsi to control Rwanda. kill. And when colonial rule ended, the Hutu seized power. The story in the film happened just after the plane crash of the then Hutu leaders in Rwanda. Some Hutu radicals, through propaganda, vigorously promoted the conspiracy of the Tutsi, and how to unite the power of the Hutu. "Cut down the tall trees".
In addition to racial hatred, the film also saw slaughtered civilians, including women and children; saw Hutu youths who killed red eyes, excited and fanatical; saw Hutu troops and militia forces accepting bribes... Several impressive scenes:
First, when the United Nations withdrew troops, the white tourist at the Miller Collins Hotel boarded the bus, preparing to withdraw from Rwanda; it was raining outside, and the white reporter was on the way to the bus, but the black waiter still called him. Holding an umbrella, the white reporter said, "Don't make me ashamed." When the white priest and nun of the church, as well as the black children, arrived at the hotel, the separation of the two skin colors was heartbreaking. In all honesty, if we are traveling to a certain country in Africa right now, and we are catching up with a similar war, we are more concerned about the life and death of the local people, or our own safety, at least I don’t have such a high level of consciousness, it’s better Make sure you are still alive.
Second, after losing the rescue, Paul's passage "Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help" Paul asked the black people who stayed in the hotel to call their relatives and friends abroad , to let people outside know that if they don't ask, everyone will die in the hotel. To make people out there feel ashamed and have to lend a hand.
Paul inadvertently became a hero. Until the early filming of the film, when the director accompanied the real Paul to Miller Collins again, the survivors still held Paul's hand excitedly and thanked him for everything he had done. Paul is very great, but he is also an ordinary person. When he saw his gardener neighbor being beaten for the first time, he clearly realized that his social relations can only help his family, and other people and things, he is not at all. Inability to care or stop. When neighbors hid in his home and were discovered by Hutu troops, he chose to exchange 100,000 Rwandan francs for their lives.
"Schindler's List", "Hotel Rwanda"... How many places in the world are still suffering from war? How many people in the world are unwittingly great people?
