This is one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema, you can't help but get terry eyed when the scene freeze frames around paul, his family and all those children. Absolutely moving.
Yes, more often than not the so called powerful nations act only to protect their own interests which is morally wrong. But what is also morally wrong or in fact quite barbaric is mutilating the people who lived next to you for so many years which were and still are the Tutsi. So instead on focusing in what the Americans or Europeans could have done to prevent that. Try to educate yourselves instead of facing any conflict like ignorant savages...
I watched this movie in school, it is so good! I cant belive how this people could do it! this smusic on the end is really good! Wel done for producers!
I cannot stop from thinking about the rest of the orphans. They have no family, and to see someone's family find them...it must be pure torture for those poor children.
this movie made me cry... the entire time we were watching this, a girl in my class kept complaining because it was "too hot" or "too cold" or she was hungry...... i almost strangled her -.-
i loved this movie we just finished watching it in my social studies class i now realize that people are greedy ass holes who only want to look out for there own and not others
This movie just makes you realize how good we have it. My family lived in communism in Poland, it was pretty bad, but never this bad. We are so lucky to be able to speak our minds freely without being persecuted, arrested, or killed. Sometimes we don't realize how fortunate we are to have safe homes, neighborhoods and cities, or how fortunate we are to just be able to walk around when we feel like it. So many things are taken for granted today.
In which country do you live where research on the holocaust is banned? There is no law in the United States at least banning research on the topic of the holocaust. It's not really my duty to explain to you the research on the topic that has been done, but rather your obligation to prove to me that it is not allowed anywhere to research the topic. It's perfectly legal. Only in Germany is holocaust denial banned by the government, and I'm sure you can understand their logic in that.
it was said that the white house did not want to get involved in any African country after black hawk down in Somalia as they lost their whole army trying to make peace were it was not wanted,
@bwaqas Anyone who denies that the holocaust, and even the particular instance that is seen in Schindler's List, is ignorant of history. Of course hollywood took some liberties, but the movie/book is based on a true story.
I am sure its part of the history. but come on... why isn't the research on Holocaust allowed ??? why not let independent historians do their research on this staggering blow to the humanity?
Tell me one major Uni in the world, where there has ever been a research on Holocaust or there is a researcher who you've heard of about doing a research on Holocaust...
I remember watching this in my class and being one of the few people crying. I can't help it. I get so emotionally involved in everything I read and watch.
America didn't go help Rwanda because we got our butts burned when we went to help Semolia [probably spelled wrong, sorry] just before. Our Black Hawk planes were shot down and the people here were in an uproar about our lost soldiers, therefore we looked at Rwanda and said "lets not try that again."
Though you'd think something about this and Darfur would've/would be done.
@wildwolfspeaker The american troops in Somalia did not get thier butts kicked, a proffessional operation went wrong, ONE OPERATION, and the entire program was shut down due to fear
Sad part is that if Clinton wasn't such a coward the U.S. could've gone in there and maybe lost 2 soldiers in the entire operation. We would have had an easy "victory" and the infinite goodwill of good people. Instead the idiot stuck his nose into a thousand year old beef in the Balkans and the fool that came after him set the course for losing thousands of soldiers' lives in two unwinnable wars.
@sethaus75 We were too scared to go in after Semolia. We tried to help there and got our butts kicked. That pissed americans off, so the government didn't want to try again.
By the way.. it was European countries who decided to go into Africa and carve it up. Ever heard of the Berlin Conference? The US didn't even go. So stfu and read a bit about the history of Africa before blaming the US for all your problems. If your country is poor... try to fix it!! That's what America started as... a COLONY. We are powerful because of our people working their asses off to create something better for themselves.
@silverakisame yea but that doesn't mean our government is good or anything, They think for themselves, same for the American people and the world (in general) they think for themselves and there needs, president Clinton even said Rwanda isn't in the interest of America so we wont do anything
Yeah.. America isn't perfect, but at the same time we had just had the incident in Somalia which probably effected Clinton's decision. I'm not saying it's not right.. but I'm not saying it's all our fault. I've worked in Africa before.. so it's not like Americans don't care period. We do raise money and have people who go over to help with Aids, etc. It's just that even having a strong military isn't enough sometimes.
@urnme2 The fact is the USA make it look like they did not act. The fact is the did act. Starting to the shooting of the Plane that triggered the genocide.
They managed to make us believe that they did not knew what was goin on. They did nkew what was goin on but did not act, intentionally because the only was their freinds could reach power was through a war. They knew that in democratic elections Kagame had no chances of winning because tutsi were only about 20% of pupolation at the time
@silverakisame Finally a level headed person. Other countries do work hard though, they just dont have the resources and arent geogically blessed as America is.
Africa was pretty much destroyed by Europe (and a little tiny bit by America) and now they are living with the consequences of that. You cannot just go into a continent and carve it up and take all the riches and spread disease and then leave and expect it to be a happy place. And people still look down on Africans like they are "lower" just because of how they live.. when it's not even their faults that Africa is so poor.
@silverakisame if ur from the u.s u better shut the hell up...
u guys have fucked up the rest of the world and interfer in every conflict u can find. THE U.S IS NOT THE POLICE OF THE WORLD!! if ur not from the u.s, i'm sorry! : )
I'm proud to be born American. Just because my country does certain things doesn't make it horrible. I don't agree with everything that my government does, but I still think it's the best country to be born in. So many people hate America.. but I really do think most of them are just jealous they aren't American and don't have that same opportunities or power as a nation. And I'm not being arrogant when I say this. I've lived in many countries.
@silverakisame As for America fucking up the World.. please talk to the peoples conquered by Hitler and Japan, okay? Sure, America hasn't always been perfect.. but please show me a country that has been. Having power means having a responsibility to try to help.. even if we fail sometimes. (and No, I'm not talking about Iraq.. which was stupid to even begin with). Anyway.. people can have opinions about Americans, but no matter what, our country is powerful for a reason.
@trukkotrygve And yet people get Pissed at America for not going into Rwanda. America is the strongest country in the world, if there is a problem, we're not going to wait for any other countries to interfer, because the fact of the matter is they wont.
American and europeans are socks bad never believe to them see all movie and u will see that the dont care about ppl but one day God will be in our side 100%
@halocrap360 its "not" a happy ending... THIS family gets back his children and find theirselves again... but the "war" wasnt over so there were still hundrets of dead people...
@halocrap360 ; Because, that lady, that's her nephew and her niece. Her brother and sister in law died and left them behind. Paul, sent that white woman(idk her name) to go find them, and she couldn't. But she find out that the kids was alive, but she couldn't take them, because the place was surrounded.
wonderful scene, but i think the best part of hotel rwanda is where the uno people are going away with the tourists - leaving the children (stand in the rain. with the dramatical africa children song) - its the best part, which lets everyone cry..
to be fair this movie has captured the imagination of so many which is good for awareness but over 6 million people have died in the congo and nothing is being done so what lessons are really being learnt?
i'm glad i dont remember much about wat happened in 1994 n glad im nt hurt n greatful none of my family was hurt... i think we were very lucky unlike some ppl... GREAT MOVIE made me cry
My uncle was there with the red cross. Incredible luck for that to hapen!!! Unbelievable tragedy! Also Rusesabagina rejected people from the hotel, great man but he wasn't all peaches and cream nobody is . . .
He would only let people in who could pay him in most cases altho the money was probs used to pay off the Interahamwe so perhaps that was a wee bit unfair to the man
Of course i understand and i wish more people felt like you but action is what's important hopefully rwanda will once again become a place of hope and unity as will africa! I love our continent! God Bless Africa!
@hiscibus i hope u wer being sarcastic, if u havent watched the whole movie, he was the one who sheltered thousands of tutsis from pro-hutu militias in his hotel, saving many lives. eventually until the tutsi militia rescued them.
Do you know anything about the Rwandan Genocide in 1994? This is the movie based off of Paul Rusesabagina, who helped as many Tutsis(and a few Hutus) during the Genocide at his hotel. The movie is Hotel Rwanda, and is VERY heartrenching.
Very powerful movie, the Americans & Europeans did nothing for Rwanda but they throw away lives daily in places such as Afghanistan & Iraq where they have no business being.
Most Africans have nothing yet the children still have smiling faces and the people are generally far happier than Americans & Europeans, possessions are not everything, you enter this world with nothing, you leave with nothing. Do the right thing.
This is one of the most beautiful comments I have ever heard and its so true. We should relearn the true meaning of "happiness" and explore what its all about and stop being materialistic.
The more we get, the more we want and this is just corrupting our mind.
@kisumunic yes thats also my opinion. we hear everyday of a rob of a bank or a murder somewhere but the news dont tell about the hundret of deaths in africa every day. the politics aint interested in helping a poor black economy so why put them in the news... its all about money and the white nations rob africa's ressources. we need a start...to do some real help. thats my opinion.. by the way i'm white. so its not a stupid intolerant opinion of a "victim"... think about it
@kisumunic your right about africans usually being happier and they could really use our help, but how dare you say that we are throwing our lives away. and if you do believe we're "throwing our lives away" then just don't say we have no business being there. how about you educate yourself and realize that we're only fighting over there to keep them away from here. they would give us a september 11th again as soon as we leave iraq. we would have entered nuclear war by now without troops in iraq.
@kisumunic dont forget why they didnt do anything. not to be racist but their afrikaans. I have an afrikaan friend so dont say i hate them. but you can see why they didnt care just like any rich country would do. no advantage of having that land like oil or gold. its not worth anything
@kisumunic Actually America reallized that they were wrong for not stepping in during this genocide, so when they heard about the genocide going on in Irag, the had to step in. And still people LIKE YOU criticize them being there. If we went to Rwanda, people would feel the same, we shouldnt be there. You cant win.
@kisumunic Except for the fact that there was a genocide going on in Iraq so they figured they should step in. AND STILL PEOPLE LIKE YOU criticeize America for being in Iraq doing the right thing. If we helped Rwanda, I guarentee you that PEOPLE LIKE YOU would say we have no business being there either. So dont just assume we are there for no reason AND GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT before you post something like this.
@D11cantonx: GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. USA did not go to Iraq because of genocide. They went because they told you they had WMD. Which we all know was BS. The only reason they are there is because of oil control. The reason USA,Canada or Britain did not help out Rwanda is because they have no natural resources(oil,gold) they can rape from them. Do some research and find out what the real agenda is. Controlling world oil supplies and resources is the priority of United States of the World.
@msayofemi1 there are many resources on the continent of Africa. So to say they don't like Africa is to broad a statement. Just particular countries in Africa have little to no resources, so you could say that they did not like the country of Rwanda. ;)
The world is an anarchical system in which states vi for power (militarily, resource control, etc). China's ambitions are fueling the Sudan conflict, companies are buying conflict minerals used to make our electronics, etc. This is nothing new... we common Americans, usually not in power, often try to work to transcend this by pursue a sort of perfect nation... just many of us fool ourselves into thinking we've made it there.
@Mantisisland Since the Bush-government cannot control the whole world, they prefer a policy of deliberately destabilizing the whole region (Horn of Africa) for many years, rather than letting it become a wealthy region that can play a key-role in the increasing trade relations between Africa and the new emerging economies of Asia .
BUT the USA didn't do anything in Rwanda because Somali was a disaster. We tried to help Somalia militarily and it didn't work. Somalia had no resources either, but many Americans died trying to take down warlords who were stealing international aide and who were oppressing/killing the population.
Do not make the mistake of oversimplifying things. USA is simultaneously trying to help and to control... but when are we doing which? Is it the USA or special interests using the USA?
@Mantisisland There is the presence of oil and gas reserves. Since 1986, four big oil transnational corporations received permission for the first time from the Somalian president Siad Barre to search for oil. And they found important reserves. But most of all : Somalia has a very strategic location. It has a coast of 3300km. This is the largest coastline in Africa.
@rollster69 Wow, you really believe we went into Iraq for oil, huh? Nevermind that the war has cost us over 300 billion dollars in the midst of an economic recession, that the majority of Iraq oil goes to India and China, and we are still trying to rebuild the infrastructure in Iraq while simultaneously fighting in Afghanistan.
Yeah dude, we're totally having a fucking party here. It's all sunshine and rainbows from all that oil we secured...
@GambitFox79 I think you need to do a bit of research and take your blinders off. You are bred to believe that war brings democracy and peace. You are simply fighting for the rich man and their hungry appetite for power and control.
Sierra Leone has Diamonds and Afghanistan is sitting on one of the worlds biggest supplies of lithium. and a large resevoir of oil, it just doesnt have the equipment and knowhow to gain it. And Bosnia, well former Yugoslavia lays in europe and that alone is enough for the Europeans to intervene, and the US.
Africa however is miles away and there for not intressting, sadly.
@rollster69 Al Gore and Bill Clinton believed there were WMD too. Do you really want to risk the entire eastern shore of the United Sates to be wiped off the map because some hippie claims it's all a lie? When cities like Galveston find a threat of a deadly hurricane approaching, they must evacuate the city. In some rare cases, it can turn out to be a false alarm and everyone must return to their homes. "IT'S ALL A SCAM GUYS" one might say, everyone stays in homes. Hurricane siren rings. Death.
@nowitski2 So true and i wish people would realize that aswell. If a country has WMD and they say that you cannot enter there country. You just might be a little suspicious. For example if you walk up to your neighbor and you know they are a candy salesman and you ask for some candy and they say we dont have any go away you cant come in. Wouldnt you feel like there lieing?
@rollster69 get your facts right who cares if it is for oil the soldiers there arent helping with anything( which they are! ) and also surely wasteing oil for less oil is a fucking waste of time! next your tell me barney the fucking dinosaur caused 9/11!
You get YOUR facts straight, Canada, the Netherlands, and Ghana, did go to Rwanda serving under Romeo Dallaire; with the small force, they saved tens of thousands of lives; directly saved 32,000 people. Had the US- a country 10 times larger than Canada, and 20 times larger than the Netherlands - intervened, that number might have been much higher. Even the US president wanted to go, but the Conservatives said no, and instead invaded and killed in Iraq.
@Seekarr the president said that for political points. he didnt want to have another somilia debacle.clinton was in office during the 1994 Somalian cluster.and rwanda was in 1994 as well i believe.. as far as Iraq goes, they shipped the WMD's to syria when the U.N. was wanting the U.S. to wait. they didnt wany anyone to find out that alot of countries were doing business for oil which is what bush was accused of wanting to do but the U.S. didnt take a drop.the secretary gen. did though!!
Well Actually USA didnt go and help them out was because they failed in Somalia to help and did nothing at all except get their troops killed. And they didnt want this to happen again.
@rollster69 First off if you can tell me how many barrels of oil that the U.S. took held or seized i will come to where you live and kiss your ass. that is liberal propaganda for them to keep the troops from going to war. then the same liberals bitched that gas prises are to high whitch it shouldnt be cause the U.S. supposedly has control of it and bringing it to America. what a joke. and if there wasnt WMD then why was Hussain bragging that he had them til it was immenent of an invasion.
@rollster69 What about Afganistan? NATO vehicles burn more oil in a day then you could ever find under that sad little country. Somalia? The worlds only post apocalyptic country isnt worth two shits, and the sea lanes can be guarded by an entirely naval force. The main reason there was so much red tape and so little resources available to the UN and no US involvement was because this happened right after the black hawk down crisis and during the genocide in the balkans.
@cappermeh #1 Berlin Conference look it up. Its where Europeans treated the continent of Africa like their own drawing board. The state of Africa we see today is the result of European imperialism. #2 It was the Belgians that colonized Rwanda, seperated the Rwandan people into Hutus and Tutsis and created scientific evidence that Tutsis were superior since they more resembled the white man. #3 "America is such A retarded country", 'an' is not used when a constant comes after. BTW No we're not.

@urnme2 The fact is the USA make it look like they did not act. The fact is the did act. Starting to the shooting of the Plane that triggered the genocide.
They managed to make us believe that they did not knew what was goin on. They did nkew what was goin on but did not act, intentionally because the only was their freinds could reach power was through a war. They knew that in democratic elections Kagame had no chances of winning because tutsi were only about 20% of pupolation at the time

Africa was pretty much destroyed by Europe (and a little tiny bit by America) and now they are living with the consequences of that. You cannot just go into a continent and carve it up and take all the riches and spread disease and then leave and expect it to be a happy place. And people still look down on Africans like they are "lower" just because of how they live.. when it's not even their faults that Africa is so poor.

I'm proud to be born American. Just because my country does certain things doesn't make it horrible. I don't agree with everything that my government does, but I still think it's the best country to be born in. So many people hate America.. but I really do think most of them are just jealous they aren't American and don't have that same opportunities or power as a nation. And I'm not being arrogant when I say this. I've lived in many countries.

@silverakisame As for America fucking up the World.. please talk to the peoples conquered by Hitler and Japan, okay? Sure, America hasn't always been perfect.. but please show me a country that has been. Having power means having a responsibility to try to help.. even if we fail sometimes. (and No, I'm not talking about Iraq.. which was stupid to even begin with). Anyway.. people can have opinions about Americans, but no matter what, our country is powerful for a reason.

@trukkotrygve And yet people get Pissed at America for not going into Rwanda. America is the strongest country in the world, if there is a problem, we're not going to wait for any other countries to interfer, because the fact of the matter is they wont.

Do you know anything about the Rwandan Genocide in 1994? This is the movie based off of Paul Rusesabagina, who helped as many Tutsis(and a few Hutus) during the Genocide at his hotel. The movie is Hotel Rwanda, and is VERY heartrenching.

Very powerful movie, the Americans & Europeans did nothing for Rwanda but they throw away lives daily in places such as Afghanistan & Iraq where they have no business being.
Most Africans have nothing yet the children still have smiling faces and the people are generally far happier than Americans & Europeans, possessions are not everything, you enter this world with nothing, you leave with nothing. Do the right thing.

@kisumunic yes thats also my opinion. we hear everyday of a rob of a bank or a murder somewhere but the news dont tell about the hundret of deaths in africa every day. the politics aint interested in helping a poor black economy so why put them in the news... its all about money and the white nations rob africa's ressources. we need a start...to do some real help. thats my opinion.. by the way i'm white. so its not a stupid intolerant opinion of a "victim"... think about it

@kisumunic your right about africans usually being happier and they could really use our help, but how dare you say that we are throwing our lives away. and if you do believe we're "throwing our lives away" then just don't say we have no business being there. how about you educate yourself and realize that we're only fighting over there to keep them away from here. they would give us a september 11th again as soon as we leave iraq. we would have entered nuclear war by now without troops in iraq.

@kisumunic dont forget why they didnt do anything. not to be racist but their afrikaans. I have an afrikaan friend so dont say i hate them. but you can see why they didnt care just like any rich country would do. no advantage of having that land like oil or gold. its not worth anything
thelittlemind 1 year ago
@kisumunic Actually America reallized that they were wrong for not stepping in during this genocide, so when they heard about the genocide going on in Irag, the had to step in. And still people LIKE YOU criticize them being there. If we went to Rwanda, people would feel the same, we shouldnt be there. You cant win.
D11cantonx 1 year ago
@kisumunic Except for the fact that there was a genocide going on in Iraq so they figured they should step in. AND STILL PEOPLE LIKE YOU criticeize America for being in Iraq doing the right thing. If we helped Rwanda, I guarentee you that PEOPLE LIKE YOU would say we have no business being there either. So dont just assume we are there for no reason AND GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT before you post something like this.
D11cantonx 1 year ago
@D11cantonx: GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. USA did not go to Iraq because of genocide. They went because they told you they had WMD. Which we all know was BS. The only reason they are there is because of oil control. The reason USA,Canada or Britain did not help out Rwanda is because they have no natural resources(oil,gold) they can rape from them. Do some research and find out what the real agenda is. Controlling world oil supplies and resources is the priority of United States of the World.

@Mantisisland Since the Bush-government cannot control the whole world, they prefer a policy of deliberately destabilizing the whole region (Horn of Africa) for many years, rather than letting it become a wealthy region that can play a key-role in the increasing trade relations between Africa and the new emerging economies of Asia .
rollster69 1 year ago
@rollster69
BUT the USA didn't do anything in Rwanda because Somali was a disaster. We tried to help Somalia militarily and it didn't work. Somalia had no resources either, but many Americans died trying to take down warlords who were stealing international aide and who were oppressing/killing the population.
Do not make the mistake of oversimplifying things. USA is simultaneously trying to help and to control... but when are we doing which? Is it the USA or special interests using the USA?
Mantisisland 1 year ago
@Mantisisland There is the presence of oil and gas reserves. Since 1986, four big oil transnational corporations received permission for the first time from the Somalian president Siad Barre to search for oil. And they found important reserves. But most of all : Somalia has a very strategic location. It has a coast of 3300km. This is the largest coastline in Africa.

@rollster69 Al Gore and Bill Clinton believed there were WMD too. Do you really want to risk the entire eastern shore of the United Sates to be wiped off the map because some hippie claims it's all a lie? When cities like Galveston find a threat of a deadly hurricane approaching, they must evacuate the city. In some rare cases, it can turn out to be a false alarm and everyone must return to their homes. "IT'S ALL A SCAM GUYS" one might say, everyone stays in homes. Hurricane siren rings. Death.

@nowitski2 So true and i wish people would realize that aswell. If a country has WMD and they say that you cannot enter there country. You just might be a little suspicious.

Wouldnt you feel like there lieing?

You get YOUR facts straight, Canada, the Netherlands, and Ghana, did go to Rwanda serving under Romeo Dallaire; with the small force, they saved tens of thousands of lives; directly saved 32,000 people. Had the US- a country 10 times larger than Canada, and 20 times larger than the Netherlands - intervened, that number might have been much higher. Even the US president wanted to go, but the Conservatives said no, and instead invaded and killed in Iraq.
