Rwandan Genocide

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2016)

Hotel Rwanda was the first movie that we have watched in English and it didn't really stand out that much. The other movies were just as easy to follow which was surprising to me. This movie provided a wonderful, yet frightening, reality of the genocide in Rwanda. It went into depth the struggles that all of the Tutsi citizens when through as well as the harshness of the treatment they received from the Hutus that were out to kill them. Paul was a very friendly and loving character who always was the center of most things and was nice enough to overflow his hotel with Tutsi guests who had no where to go. He seemed to know most of the people and have connections that were able to save him and others lives when in need. I was kept on the edge of my seat most of the time because really anything could happen at anytime. Movies that aren't predictable are much more exciting to watch and movies that are surrounded by chaos and disorder are unpredictable.
