hotel Rwanda


Saturday- (2nd July)
i think today is going to be an ' i love africa' Day for me.
woke up and felt extremely bored. I knew that i would not go out the whole day because my friends couldn't hang out with me today. So i watched "Hotel Rwanda".

Rating :8/10
By far, one of the most touching and saddest movie i watched this year.
This reminds me about the movie i watched for an ESL assesment - "killing Fields"

there are abit of similarities in their themes such as violence and determination to survive through hard times.

"Hotel Rwanda" is an ethically rich story of a heroic african who responds to deep dimentions of violence in a chaotic world by widening his circle of compassion.

there was this scene where The Western Country tried to help people to escape the violence from Rwanda... but they only took the foreigners (whites) with them and protected them. It is said that the Rwanda people are not worth anything to them.. so no point helping them anyways. I was really sad - abit angry of the discrimination they faced even in hard times such as then.


at the end of the movie - there was a really touching song sang by Wyclef Jean. Awsome song! - it is called ' million voices'


Oh yea- tonight i'll be spending my night watching live 8. A concert to fight poverty in Africa!~
