u're crashing tmr!! i may just bump into you, haha. How u're gonna hide your identity is what i wana know.
haha.
watched another movie in GP class today,
Hotel Rwanda
Marvelous movie.
embodying family love, discrimination and hate, role of mass media and the United Nations.
it was too much to handle for some girls, i saw them wiping away tears, nearly dropped some of my own too. it had me cringing my shirt, girls leaning onto each others' shoulders, my friend couldnt bear to look and had his head down.
The value of human life. Need i say more? When a million corpses were left behind after a few months of ultra-violence and genocide, when a group of people (Hutu) was bent, determined to exterminate every form of life belonging to their victims of hate (Tutsi).
Death was impending, when they discovered to their horror that the Allied powers was gonna leave them alone, elation and joy at first when the forces came, only to leave them petrified upon realising that they were there to rescue their own people (Europeans). Cries and begs of help-from-UN was turned down abruptly, UN being afraid coz of the Somalian incident. Use of mass media couldnt do better, which live killings and massacres was screened across the world. But the world remained still.
God must have had His hand on the hotel manager.
He:
- bought the lives of 'cockroaches' from the Hutu
- letting refugees stay in his hotel, seeking temporary cover.
- was under constant stress to protect the lives of those he love
ok, i just dunno how to describe it. Indescribable, Unbelievable.
Go grab the movie and watch it.
