Hotel Rwanda

Watch this. It's an excerpt from the Movie we watched today, during Carpe Diem lesson at the Auditoirum.



Ya, the clip is really comical, especially how the narrator speaks. This movie is actually Hotel Rwanda. There are funny parts, but there are also horrid parts too. It's about the a true story of a man who fought impossible odds to save everyone he could and created a place where hope lived, placed in the field of the ethnic conflict between the Tutsis and the Hutus. You should have learnt it in Social Studies too.

After I watched a little part of this film, I realised how important social and racial harmony was. Ethnic misunderstandings could lead to conflict, fighting and uneccesary bloodshed. I know could see how ugly it could be, from this film.

And why do people want to kill each other? Must be for money, for power, for money, or for stupid little reasons of getting back at each other. And they do it without a tinge of heart-break. What is the world coming to? Tell me.

If we could take a little time and effort to understand each other more, the different cultures and traditions, there would be so much less fighting, and the Earth would be such a better place.
