But my friends rarely recommended it, and finally bought a ticket to enter the venue alone, and the Hotel Rwanda became my personal international film festival opening movie.
The subject matter is very old, it's how a family struggles to survive under the irrational war.
The impact is very new. That's it. The narrow and unreasonable human nature can shock, shake, and shock me every time.
Hutu people (hutu) and Tutsi people (tusi) have different appearances that foreigners can tell, but aren't they also the same group of people who have always lived in the same country? Why do they hostile, exclude, hate, and kill each other because of the so-called "classification" of white people?
Why do people always focus on some trivial and stupid distinctions? How much blood has been shed in vain due to these differentiations since ancient times? Blind nationalism is too terrible. It makes us motivated by sensational and inadequate voices. We can no longer see the truth, no more reason, no other people, only ourselves.
I finally understand the ins and outs of the clips seen at the Oscars. Why does the protagonist say that he would rather pay someone to kill his wife and children?
I think of the extinction that white people "discovered" the New World several centuries ago. They thought they were superior, advanced, and civilized. Because your "religion" is unique, those we believe deserve to be labeled as "cults"; because of your "superiority", we deserve to be your "slaves"; because of the "nobility" of your language, Our language deserves to disappear; because of your territorialism, we even deserve to lose the land on which we live.
The civil war in Rwanda was the result of the white people at the time.
I do not intend to blame anyone, but just want to say that there are many tragedies that should have been avoided. Isn’t human wisdom a source of trouble?
Looking at the Tutsi people just over ten years ago, I think of the Jews sixty years ago. I hope that this extremely blind nationalism will never rise again.
The most profound line of dialogue came from a photographer: "You think that what you take will be seen by someone, so that someone cares about the situation here? I don't think they will watch TV and say, "Oh my God, that's true. Horror!" Then continue to eat dinner."
Isn't this the reaction of most of us sitting in front of the TV?
To be honest, one of the reasons why I did not choose to watch this film before was also because I felt that the history of Rwanda more than ten years ago was too close and too far away from me.
The same is human life, just because we can't see it, it doesn't seem to be that important anymore.
Therefore, while the people of Rwanda are trying their best to save their lives, people in Western countries are arguing whether or not to use the term "genocide."
None of us want to admit it, but this is indeed a fact that we have confirmed with our actions.
The Rwanda Hotel is a must-see for some people; but people who watch a movie just for a smile don’t watch it, because there are not many times when this movie can make you laugh.
