Hotel Rwanda : Ryan Peyton

I really liked the movie and its my 3rd time seeing it. The part where he is sneaking his family out of the house is probably my favorite part because he does everything he can to get all of them to be able to leave with him and he ends up giving the guy everything the people that want to leave have.If i was ever in this situation i think i would just try to get as far away from there as i could and only move at night

Hotel Rwanda: Kaitlyn Dolan

This movie conveys the horrors of the genocide in Africa. I enjoyed this movie. I felt that it gave me a better understanding of what happened. People should do something about it- but many fail to do so. I think most people don't know what to do, or how to do it. On the other hand, the people helping aren't doing everything they can to stop the violence. It's like they don't want to help- they're scared to help. Both "sides", the Hutu's and the Tutsi's, were strong in their beliefs and actions. They did what they could to survive on their own. The people at the hotel banded together to make a home away from home. Another hardship they had to face was leaving their homes and loosing their family and friends. Some didn't know what happened to them; they might have died, ran away, who knows?

I learned how good life is to us. To tell you the truth I would be scared out of my mind. I don't think I would even try to live in that condition. I was really shocked when Paul got a lot of the kids and adults of out dying or starving to death. I think that everyone has a chance to do better and in this case help. I mean I know we didn't want them to come after us, but to me I believe that was real selfish of us. Then again we can not change the past. We can't do anything now. Unless we see something going on. We can put effort to help others that are getting beat/starve to death. But. They need to do the job of telling us. Because we don't know everything that is going on in the world.

Paul did an awesome job to save everyone, but if he didn't have that hotel I doubt him, his family and all those families would not have lived. He was a really smart man and new how to bribe to get what he wanted. I liked the moving and I doubt I will forget what happened.

So, basically, this is what the natural cruel nature of some human beings look like. People like the murderers in this movie are quick to react on influence, rather than seek factual information instead. The fact that Hutu and Tutsi's difference and superiority was reliant on their appearance just proves how disgusting the human race can be.  I haven't watched the entire movie yet, but I've heard this genocide mentioned before it was brought up in this class. However, it was simply readings, not visual details. This movie reminds me of The Pianist and Schindler's List, mainly because it actually visually demonstrates the horrors and graphic details associated with the genocides. The difference between them, though, is that this man took action and risked his life just to keep some people safe. While Schindler's List had a main character who eventually decided to turn his bad ways to good, the man in this movie was goodhearted from the very beginning.
As the people in this blog have stated before, we will at a moment sit there and think, "Oh my God.. This is just.. horrible. :(" then, continue on with their lives and eventually the Rwandan genocide or any other tragedy will be a distant memory.  That's just how it is, unfortunately.

I think genocides shouldn't even happen in this world. We should have stepped in and stop the hutus and help the tutsusis. The movie was little nasty and rude. I think the hutus killed their president so they could kill the tutsusis. We should sent troops in there and killed the hutus that are trying to hurt everyone that wasn't a hutu. paul should have not helped the other people, but he did and now he is known as a hero.

Hotel Rwanda thoughts

I thought it was a alright movie. If I were them i would dressed up like a hutu and just sat in my house. lol it sounds pretty simple.. but it might not work. Paul was lucky that he had that hotel because if he wasn't in there he would of died. I would have done the same thing bribe them with items to stay alive for longer and try to get out alive

Hotel Rwanda Haley

I really liked this movie. The main character was very lucky that his boss left him in charge and let his family and friends stay there. He was a friendly guy that knew how to compromise. I think some of the things was just luck. Like that the army came just in time before they killed his family when they were trying to leave. It could have shown more on the outside of the hotel. But I still really liked this movie.
