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.
