The whole world turned away and closed its eyes - revisiting "Hotel Rwanda"

Lon 2022-04-21 09:01:21

When I was a student watching "Hotel Rwanda", I didn't know much about the historical background of the incident, so just a few sincere tears and a light "so heavy" can sum up the whole after-view. Now reviewing the movie and looking up some materials, I found that the artificial concept of nationalism is really terrible. How could the Belgians come up with artificial division of the nation! When man-made class contradictions and racial contradictions break through the critical value, hatred distorts everything, distorts conscience, distorts justice and kindness, and distorts humanity as a human being! As a result, blood flowed, corpses piled up like mountains, mosquitoes were rampant, and the stench rose to the sky. "God forgot Rwanda, God closed his eyes." The most ridiculous and sad thing is that, apart from looking at their ID cards, Rwandans themselves can't tell who is Tutsi and who is Hutu! Tragedy on African soil was closely related to the connivance of Western society at the time. If there is no benefit, it is not worth intervening. God cannot be trusted, only himself. Fortunately, Rwanda met their leader. First, they revised the constitution to remove the racial division of Belgians, and they also knew that developing the economy was the best way to eliminate hatred. Today, with the help of China, Rwanda has experienced rapid economic development and is rated as one of the countries with the most tourism potential. It is said that their military parades are called 121 [呲食] Hatred and war will destroy all goodwill, and peace and development can create all beauty.

    I send these pictures to the world, they will call "Oh my God, it's horrible!" and they will continue to eat dinner. Would it be okay if all the powers, as the Chinese media said, "do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and that matters are nothing to do with themselves"?

    Another work that reflects racial vendettas, but this film is by no means the Rwandan version of "Schindler's List". The protagonist is "Schindler", but the object of his dealings is not only the "Nazis", but also the "third "People." Compared with "Schindler", this film has its own advantages, but the common shortcoming is that the analysis of racial hatred and the dark side of human nature is not thorough enough.
