Has anyone seen the Rwanda Hotel?

I bought Hotel Rwanda for several weeks, but I have never seen it. I don't want to see it, but I dare not, because I know it's a human tragedy, and I don't know how the movie will express it. Facing the busy work every day, I dare not make myself feel too heavy. I insisted on seeing last night.

Watching movies, I couldn't help laughing several times. Of course, the movie is not funny, and there are not many bloody scenes here, but there are many exquisite action details and language in it, which makes me want to laugh loudly at the present world, the so-called world order and pattern.

This is a film based on a true story. Paul, the manager of a high-end hotel in Rwanda, is a Hutu. He saved the lives of more than 1000 refugees in the ethnic conflict of 1994. At that time, the Belgian colonists forcibly divided the local aborigines into Hutu and Tutsi according to the depth of skin and the height of nose bridge, and handed over the political power to Tutsi when they left, which led to a feud between the two ethnic groups for generations. In the end, the Hutu people who came to power wanted to retaliate against the Tutsi people and condone the hatred of militia groups, and finally broke out at the node where the president was stabbed to death. "Cutting down trees" and "Hutu forces" started genocide.

Paul Hotel is a high-end leisure resort hotel owned by Belgium. He used his position as a hotel manager to deal with military elites, whites and UN officials, and made up nervously with beer, whisky and cigarettes. His belief in western power and maintaining world order and world peace has penetrated into every vein of his life. He has always believed that relying on the United Nations led by the United States and western European countries can achieve peace in Rwanda, at least those white friends can help him when needed. However, in a series of events after the outbreak of the war, all hopes were dashed, and years of business could only be exchanged for a continuation of life, and finally they were forced to leave their homes. A series of efforts in the middle can only be a great mockery of reality in the movie.

Scene 1: When the war broke out and the massacre began, the poor Belgian UN peacekeeping force could only take care of a few hotels and refugee camps. Even 1 1 peacekeepers died. Although they have guns, they won't shoot. The peacekeeping general called for help and waited for several days. Then, only a small group of peacekeepers were waiting, and thousands of people who took refuge in the hotel cheered and thought it was a force for peace. The peacekeeping general told Paul that because you blacks and African blacks are worthless in political competitions and are not worthy of their votes, no one will really care about their lives. Hum, seeing this, I can't help nodding. How pale and powerless those beautiful declarations of maintaining peace are here! Vietnam, South Korea, Iraq and Somalia are full of American soldiers, playing the role of world gendarmes. Why, because of their strategic and economic interests, poor Rwanda can't even realize this only interest and can only do its own problems.

Scene 2: A European photojournalist, a very just man, tried his best to film the genocide outside, but the man's heart was always uncontrollable and he hooked up with a local Tutsi girl in the hotel. During the evacuation, the Tutsi girl cried and hoped that he could save her, but all he could do was to give Paul money (useless currency) in the hope that he could help, and Paul always believed that westerners could save them. It rained heavily on the day of evacuation. When the photographer walked to the bus, the hotel waiter was still holding an umbrella behind him. He repeatedly said he didn't want waiters, but he insisted, because even then, they all insisted on their professional star service in high-end hotels. Journalists are ashamed and can only say shame. Westerners brainwash local people, telling them what taste is and what service is, but not how to revitalize the nation. They just use them to make money, and these things are boring in life and death.

Scene 3: Paul's trust in the West is so great that he often uses ridiculous excuses to save people. In fact, these excuses actually helped him achieve the purpose of saving people. In the hotel, he has been trying to please a general of the Hutu government army. During the war, he asked the general for help. Of course, in addition to bribery, he also needs some threats: once Paul said that Americans have been monitoring with satellites, and afterwards his wife asked him if it was true. He smiled and said how he knew, but he couldn't say that Americans were hiding in trees to peep. Both of them laughed and I laughed. On another occasion, he threatened the general that if he didn't stop the massacre and if Americans came to arrest war criminals, he wouldn't defend him. It's ridiculous, but the general did believe it. He hopes that if there is such a time, it will be better for one more person to speak for him. He is also a person who gets along well in the white circle. A massacre was avoided, but I don't know whether Bush is proud of America or ashamed like a photojournalist.

This film was nominated for this year's Golden Globe Award and Golden Bear Award. Today, a movie finally recorded this human catastrophe. I just don't know what these westerners will think after watching this movie. It seems that the Rwandan people should learn modern history from the people of China. Relying on others is unreliable, and the nation can only rely on self-reliance to strengthen itself.
