Schindler's List - Part Deux

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2005)

I saw Hotel Rwanda last evening on DVD. Scary but realistic depiction of real historical events and the accompanying horrors from one great man's perspective. I then went to bed and had really bad dreams all night.
Spoiler Synopsis: Basically, a group of normal people are split into 2 poorly defined different groups at best, kinda like everyone in the country counted off 1,2,1,2,1,2 and so on. The foreign power put the 1s in control and pretty soon they think they are really superior to the 2s. The 1s kill a million of the 2s (calling them cockroaches) before the 2s rise up and push out the 1s.
While all of this is going on, a particular 1, played magnificently by Don Cheatle, becomes a Schindler of sorts and saves not only his family and other 1s but a bunch of 2s as well from the militia/military 1s before escaping behind the approaching "rebel" line of the 2s.
Unbelievable? Can't happen when/if the "multi-national" foreign troops pull out of Iraq, for example? Couldn't happen here at home - the land of the free - someday? Why not?
