Hotel Rwanda - if you are Tutsi

The constant irritability felt a little absurd to me, so I watched "Hotel Rwanda" in my absurd time, but after I didn't want to watch it, I felt more uncomfortable. .

The racial hatred in Rwanda originates from the racial conflicts left over from the colonial period, and these contradictions have been used infinitely by careerists under the trend of political and economic interests. The media has become the biggest accomplice of this massacre. They use various media Wanton propaganda, endlessly expanding racial conflicts, aroused the people to completely lose their minds, they (Hutu people) took up the butcher knife and faced their neighbors and friends (Tutsi people) in normal times. In the past three months, Nearly 1 million Tutsi people were brutally killed, and what is even more unforgivable is that in a civilized world that advertises modernity and mutual assistance, the world cannot hear the mourning of millions of dead souls, and the United Nations and other countries have their own feelings. The ghost fetus's withdrawal from the garrison, the family on this side is ruined, isolated and helpless, and the feasting on the other side, no one cares, who can believe it! ! ! God is too busy to take care of it. . . Or as the reporter in the film said, "No one really cares about the real suffering of others."

Paul in the film was originally a luxury hotel manager. Disregarding the lives of his neighbors, he is not like Oscar in "Schindler's List", which is calm and airy. Extraordinary courage, using his own strength to help all people who can help, after the extreme madness has wiped out the conscience, any insistence on human nature is so precious. .

I remember watching a German movie "The Wave" a long time ago, which roughly described a teacher who set up a unique course in order to make the students better understand the concept of "dictatorship" and let the students experience it. In the end, "Nazis and Dictatorship" in There is even an irreversible tragedy in the school, and whose fault is this tragedy? ? Students who were usually well-behaved and academically excellent, turned into mad dictators in a few months, and they were in a totalitarian frenzy. I wonder if it stems from the fragile nature of human beings, eager to homogenize to seek a sense of belonging.



In the recent "August Rebellion" in London, England, the rioters were actually some teenagers. . So I wondered how much the environment and collective subconscious affect a person. I put myself in the "wave", in the "August Chaos", in the "Stanford Experiment" , After thinking about it seriously, I am not even sure whether I can stick to my original thoughts and spirits. .

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ——In

such a fast-developing era, the news is full of such and such events, and when it is none of our business, we can face it with a rational attitude, uphold the truth, and refute those irrational voices, but when we go deep In the meantime, when we are surrounded by hatred and disasters, can our thoughts persist, can our minds judge right or wrong, and can our souls maintain their original state? ! ! Thanks to this movie for making me calm down and thinking about the problem, I realized in self-reflection that no matter what situation I encounter, I should not easily surrender to the situation I am in, and keep the order and environment at all times. Alert attitude. .

Because of your fragile nature, you can't "hand in your gun and surrender" to the powerful collective consciousness. So when you are a Hutu, how would you treat the Tutsi who have deep resentments? .

    Telling a brutal genocide in a plain way, through the shelter of the hotel manager Paul to our compatriots, we can feel the good side of human nature, but whenever the camera turns to the scene where the corpses are everywhere, there will be a kind of same roots. Why is it too anxious?

    Looking at the black camera a long time ago, I knew that this piece of history was still focused on the Hutu massacre of the Tutsi tribe, but in fact, the same killing took place against the Hutu tribe in the area controlled by the Tutsi tribe. This is a scene. Facts that can’t be explained. There is no truth. Only absurd. It is incomprehensible. People use the most primitive weapons, sticks, knives and forks to fight their neighbors because they think they will kill themselves if they don’t kill the other party.

Hotel Rwanda quotes

  • Paul Rusesabagina: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.

    Jack: Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show?

    Paul Rusesabagina: How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities?

    Jack: I think if people see this footage they'll say, "oh my God that's horrible," and then go on eating their dinners.

    [pause]

    Jack: What the hell do I know?

  • Colonel Oliver: [explaining why the world will not intervene] You're black. You're not even a nigger. You're an African.
