The history is terrible, broke my heart I remenber when the car cross on the people, these scene went very hard, because on the river killer many poeple, adults,men, women and children, many people dying innocently. The people wanted to go to another place but the police don´t let in other country was war too. I admire the couple (husband and wife), they were ready to help them always. They never felt pity because they was between the problem war. I thuogth that the world doesn´t would stand up to other war, because this trouble let pity and feel remorse for ever, although the mankind have learnt but I think mankind will never commite that mistake again.

HOTEL RWUANDA


Hotel Rwanda is a movie about a man who helped millions of persons because of a civil war and many tensions between Hutus and Tutsis, this man had a hotel where he sheltered these persons. All the slaughters started after president assassination’s by soldiers and citizens Hutus. Finally, Paul Rusesabagina managed to save the majority of victims traveling from the Hotel to sure land for all the persons. I think that this movie is very realist as for the current situation; it’s a movie whit a lot of war content but it’s important too because we should to think about many crimes that the persons do trying to avoid them. Although, we have to value our position for the world we are privileged because we have, family, food, water etc. And a lot of people dont have them. The film is very interesting it has escenes well dones and the actors realize well their role. My favorite personage was tatiana, I identify very much with her because I am a very sensitive person too.

Finally, this movie motivate myself to being a person more tolerant before the other persons and to helping people.

Hotel Rwanda

1. How does the film begin? How does this particular technique establish the setting?

The films begins with a voice from the radio. It was talking about the problem in that country, the conflict that the hutus and tutsis had, showing the place when the story happened. It shows the real situation that the people had. There were two kind of people there; hutus and tutsis, they were enemies but they were trying to sign an agreement of peace between them. The hutus was telling things to kill tutsis.

2. What kind of person does Paul initially appear to be to viewers?

He seemed to be a shy and timid man, with a work like the others. He seemed to have a simple family. He was friendly and collaborating with his neighbors. During the movie he was a generous person, he liked helping the people who needed his help. He did all things he could to help his friends and no friends, for that reason he helped million of people that they didn’t know.

3. What does the RTLM say about those who help "cockroaches"?

5. How is Paul able to bribe General Bizimungu into helping him?

Paul said to General Bizimungu that he would reveal all the dirty businesses that he had realized before. All the people would know that the general was not a person who exerted her position with justice.

6. Comment on the ending of the film, with Paul and Tatiana finding their nieces.

It was an exciting moment, full of joy and anxiety. To find family members in a situation of pain, fear and distresses is a reason of happiness. They were in difficulties because they didn’t have food and water, the people was being killed and they were scared because they didn’t find the children, and it was the only way to be together with their family.

7. Tell us what you think about this movie.

It is very difficult to think that there are many people in the same situation, and we have many comforts. The film shows a reality in another country, but the form to show it is not easy to understand because we also have family and we can see that the story is mainly about the familiar love and the effort to stay together in spite of the difficult situation.

RWANDA HOTEL

1. The film begin showing the Rwanda town, people (adults and children). They were running and there was many hubbub by the Hutu Groups. They were forcing to people to participate in the murdered the Tutsi people. The technique was the transmission by radio in order to inform the news about the situation inside the country and inviting to people to kill the traitors.

2. Paul was a polite, generous, leader man. A sweet father of family, worker and smart. He had to pretend to Hutus rebels that he helped this cause but he wasn´t agree with the discrimination to the Tusti people. His wife was a Tutsi woman.

3. RTLM said that people that help were traitors and they have to die in the same way. They persecuted to the people to kill them.

4. They fell into a trap, the were deceived and Hutus groups ascended to the buses of United Nations and the killed some people and they captured some people: children and adults. The Oficial of the UN tried to protect them but unfortunately the rebels were too. Some of them got return to the Rwanda Hotel and they joined with other refugees.

In our Country, we live a similar situation is a civil warm, with many people displaced. Many murders that stay unpunished and there isn´t any respect by the humans rights. There are high levels of violence and social injustice (unemploy and poverty), many children orphans and abandoned.

5. Paul gave him fine tobaccos and beers. He tried to persuade saying the he was also alone in that place and the government also would leave its fate in Rwanda, because he also was a black man.

6. Fortunately, Paul and Tatiana got meet with their nieces in a refugee camp. A Lady of the Red Cross help them to find the girls. They got returned to be together after too suffering.

7. Is a very sad Film, specially because is based in a real fact. Currently, is a common situation the violence inside and outside of the countries, there are misery and poverty and many people suffers hunger and social injustice. There are many displaced population.

Although, is a new century there are discrimination for age and race.

Unknown said...

This movie reminds me some situations here in our country. Do you remember Bananeras massacre or Bojaya massacre, in Colombia are many like that. It's awful to see people begging for their lifes and it's even more awful see people asking for some cash, see people Without a home, sick or dying of hungry. it's suppose that everyone have rights,to have a home, to a job, to have a family, to be healthy etc.
But it doesn't matter who's a good person or not, which is really important is to have power and how do you get power? wiht money. That is all about... money.
No matter what people think, other's points of view or their feelings. sometimes people forget that we are not living alone, that we must live respecting everyone, i mean respecting their points of view, their likes, thier feelings,their religions etc.

the movie begins with Paul arriving to Rwanda and he heard something in the radio about some people named cockroaches and he realized that the things are going bad in his country.

Paul seems to be a good person but with his believes he looks like a little bit class and fancy.


The man who talks in the radio says that all people that helps the cockroaches are cockroaches too and they'll be murder too.

The people that was traveling in the truck was attacked by the revolutionist because they knew there was cockroaches inside the truck.
Paul has to give some, or many bottles of beer and a lot of money to get help from the general
The woman who helped Paul before looking for his nieces was the person who at the end of the movie see Paul's nieces into a displaced camp.

I think it was a very good movie because it shows the situation that some people around the world not just there but here in Colombia too and another countries.
I remembered i knew something about that when i was studying in la Salle college i had to bring something to eat because la Salle in that moment helped and was involved with them

The story begins, with news on radio, commenting on the politics and rivalry between the Tutsi and Hutus. Then appears a sir his name is: Paul Rusesabagina is an administrator of a hotel in Rwanda where it goes in a truck with an employee to buy food for his hotel.
Paul was a person friendly, not discriminative, collaborator, intelligent, good husband and father.
“The cockroaches” They were rebels, murderers, bad and always have been rivalry the Hutu.
The convoy was assaulted by the rebels, they don’t want that anybody leave the city and they hit some people that were in the truck.
Principal conflicts are the differences between the people and the state, as the politic, racism, and the social classes.
The end of the movie, was something very Extraordinary; because that those who were in the hotel and others were able to leave in freedom. Defeated were the rebels and the family of Paul found his nieces.
It is a story that shows the reality of certain conflicts that are presented by political groups within a country. And the causes of this are the most harmless people with children, women and families.
