Essay On Hotel Rwanda
Terry Georges film Hotel Rwanda focuses deeply into the life of Paul Rusesabagina, of whom Is also identified as the hotel manager who saved the
lives of 1200 Tutsis and Tutsi supporters. It sparks awareness to the 1994 massacre that was carried out by the Hutu rebels in Rwanda. The film allows
viewers to engage in the issue through its emotional and intense screenplay. New York Times critic Stephen Holding brands HotelRwanda on the
entertainment aspect of violence and emotions, but ignores the true human nature of the Rwandan Genocide.
Holding argues that Hotel Rwanda "radically downplays the actual gore, which is observed through a film or from a distance. Bodies are strewn
everywhere, but the streets don't run with blood, and no hideous mutilation is shown. Even the beatings seem tentative." This is true and is seen
when Paul Rusesabagina and his driver, Gregoire, go out to get supplies for the Hotel. This particular scene is very foggy and when Paul steps out of
the vehicle, he sees that there are dead bodies surrounding him. Hotel Rwanda is a rated PG–13 film. Thus, includes a mostly non–graphic depiction of
the genocide. However, contrary to what Holding says, it is not a flaw. Due to the film being less violent, it allows for younger viewers to be
exposed to the issue, rather than a smaller audience. The primary focus of the film is not the act of killing itself, rather the fact that there was a
genocide. The fact itself that 800,00 people died simply for being part of...show more content...
Holding ignores the inhumanity, but focuses on the killing itself and does not acknowledge the meaning behind the film having too many "sentimental
excesses." Thus, he falls flat to recognize the true purpose of the film, which is to bring awareness to the 1194 Rwandan

Hotel Rwanda Imperialism
The movie Hotel Rwanda covers a recent tragedy in Africa. The focus is on an innkeeper, Paul Rusesabagina, who manages the Hotel Rwanda. The
hotel hosts many international travelers and Paul knows many of the powerful people in the area. His connections leave him in the middle of the
outbreak of the Rwandan Civil War. Many of the people he knows are directly involved in the conflict whether they be Rwandans or UN peacekeepers.
The movie highlights several issues that affected the Rwandan people. The first issue involves the conflict between the Hutus and the Tutsi people of
Rwanda. Per the movie the Belgians created the two groups before leaving the country at the end of the colonization period. Catherine AndrГ© also
backs up this claim in her article as well. Thus, the two groups experienced different lifestyles. The Tutsi were the "chosen" people while the Hutu's
suffered....show more content...
The western forces bring trucks in to haul refugees away from the hotel. Paul can either leave with his family or remain behind to protect the
refugees. Paul commands a great deal of respect from the various forces and his influence will keep people safe. His family wishes to remain with
him. Paul utilizes the utilitarian theory as he pretends to get on the truck so that his family will. Then he gets off sending his family to possible
safety while protecting those who were left behind. Hotel Rwanda is a tragic movie that puts a face on the conflict that was largely ignored by the
western world. It graphically shows the results of various conflicts and the results of racial prejudice caused by historical actions. It also demonstrates
that racism can occur outside the 'normal' black white conflicts. Hotel Rwanda falls short when giving an in–depth explanation of the causes of the war.
However, a little research and critical reading bring a greater understanding of the film and the suffering of

Hotel Rwanda Essay
A group of Rwandan people known as the Hutu want to eliminate another Rwandan group, the Tutsi, and they get very close to succeeding. About one
million Tutsi people were murdered in the Rwandan Genocide in a time span of 100 days. Hotel Rwanda is a movie about a hotel manger, Paul, that
saves a thousand Tutsi people by keeping them in his hotel. He saves the refugees, mostly, by giving the Hutu rebels his money and alcohol in return
for leaving the Tutsi people alone. The movie is trying to send the message that helping others is equally important as helping one's family. Helping
others is just as important as helping one's family. In the movie, Hutu rebels had captured a group of Tutsi people, including Paul's family. Paul gives the

In the movie "Hotel Rwanda" there are many things as to which to discuss, here are the responses to a few questions. The international community
had a major impact on the hotel manager. He, himself was a Hutu and his wife was a Tutsi, you can see how this would be very difficult. This
causes him to be in complete distress seeing as his wife and fellow neighbors and friends were all Tutsis who were being murdered. I, personally,

as the Tutsi people were being hunted down, but still I would want to remove me and my loved ones away from what was happening. This story

Hotel Rwanda Analysis
On December 22, 2004 director Terry George released the movie Hotel Rwanda, and with that asserts that honor and integrity can mean more than one's
safety. Paul Rusesabagina, the main character, illustrates this this throughout the entire movie showing what ones integrity can do for others in a time
of hopelessness. George's purpose is to bury an everlasting document into the audience's mind that reveals the horrors from this gruesome genocide.
George accomplishes this throughout the movie with different uses of image, sound, and movement. Although the movie's main audiences is aimed
towards the United Nations, to keep reminding them of these tragedies that occurred while they were doing nothing, George also targeted an older

George uses a more uptempo type music to portray the positive aspects of the movie and then when the negative serie of events come in he
switches to a more pessimistic style music. George does this to really change the mood and pull everything together in the scene. They music is a
key part of making a scene seem better or worse than it would've been if the music would have been eliminated from the scenario. An example of
this is when Paul and his family are listening to the radio and hear that the President's plane has been shot down they start playing a really dark and
horror styled music to make the moment of despair seem more understandable. George does just the opposite at the end of the movie, again, when Paul
and Tatiana were looking for Tatiana's nieces he use a joyful, soft song with a kids choir when they finally found them to illuminate the delightfulness
of the scene. George uses different different songs and music choices to really pull in the whole scenario but to also help put true emotion into it.
Although describing the terror of the Rwandan Genocide is nearly impossible, George's uses of image, sound, and movement truly depict these horrific
historical tragedies into a movie as closely as it could possibly be. Hotel Rwanda's story telling shows that one's integrity can help many in a time of
hopelessness and will
