Hotel Rwanda

The class watch Hotel Rwanda on Monday, Tuesday, and finished it on Wednesday, and now we have to answer questions, and that is what I am going to do now.


1. What caused two tribes of people who lived in peace for hundreds of years to build up hatred for one another?: yes, they were fine for hundreds of years, until the Belgians came for diamonds and other riches, when they were there they spilt the country based on the looks of the people of Rwanda. If you were more white then you would be a Tutsi, and if you were more black you'd be a Hutu. Since the Tutsi looked more white they had more power, and better things than the Hutu's, where they were told that they are not good for anything, and put them down for so many years that one day they had enough of begin treated like shit, and when the Belgians left, they put the Tutsi's in power, which the Hutu's still had nothing. and still kept begin treated like crap. I guess that the Hutu's just had enough of begin treated like crap, and then just started killing every Tutsi.

2. What reasons do they describe for their dislike?: Well I think that was that cause everyone was not treated equal, that the Hutu just had enough, the way I look at it, is that the Hutu's are the lower class, were as the Tutsi's were the middle class and had more wealth, and more power then the Hutu's did.

3. How is the hatred spread?: The hatred was broadcasted from radios, the person who was talking was the warlord and leader of the Hutu army, another was they go on marches in the streets and protest wearing there colours and holding signs and weapons.

4. How do they justify the horrible things they do?: They had war crimes and trials for all the major suspects that particapated in the genocide of Rwanda.

5. What similarities from other countries or historical events do you see?: One of the horrific genocide that I think is, the Cambodian genocide lead by Pol Pot and his Khmer Rogue, which was a small communist gurelia fighting force which the average for them was age 16, they had killed the government and also killed millions, a quarter of the nation population, and pt him in charge of the government, and killed anyone who was smart who knew the past and if you go to cambodia you will see mass burials ,mass graves and execution sites, torhcer sites, if you ask any camobodian how long it lasted they will tell you the exactly how long in years, months and days. One thigh that most people did not know is that they were organized like the nazi in world war 2, they took pictures of every inmate and person who got killed they put numbers on the inmates and make them starve, tourture them, and they had dates for all of the executions and how many would be killed, but they didn't say the kill them they said we crushed them instead of said we killed them.

6.What sort of reaction do you have to watching the film?: What reaction I got from watching the film Hotel Rwanda, was shaken, but it is not the only genocide that I have seen on T.V or heard of, I did not even know about the genocide in Rwanda until my teacher showed us Hotel Rwanda, we all know that genocide is the worst thing that can happen on this earth, and some people are still thinking about this, like in Iran there leader wants to throw all the jews in the sea and claim Jerusalem for Arabs, but Israel is a strong nation and supported by U.S.A, I hope that we will never see any more genocide in world.
