Hotel Rwanda

我今天心情挺好，决定把这部肯定很depressing 的电影给看掉，结果哭的跟个泪人似的，

要不是电影院里，就放声嚎啕开了。实在是太惨。首先知道是真事儿，其次是非常近的真事儿--屠杀犹太人虽然惨，你想到是五六十年前，总是觉得人类已经进步了，隔着一层。卢旺达种族屠杀只发生在十年前，世界在那之后，恕我直言，不但没进步还退步--美国退了N 多步，联合国更加软弱无力形同虚设。

Stir all the shit up.

劝大家就别看了。

The hero is called by many as "Rwanda's Schindler". To me, "Hotel Rwanda" is even more striking than "Schindler's list". The latter is a more artistic movie, a movie in black and white, a movie dealing with a genocide happened long before our generation, a movie can be shown in the history channel. We watched it. We moved by it. We thought over it. We learned from it. Yet Rwanda's genocide happened in a modern time. The whole thing happened during the days when we were carrying out our normal lives. It was so striking that I suddenly understood that I was also part of the conspiracy against Hutu people. The whole world was indifferent to Rwanda at that time, including you and me.

After the movie I felt so sad, but to the contrary of Knowing's conclusion, I recommended it to everyone around me.

我好几次想要看这个来着，总是在最后关头要退却。
看了knowing这话，觉得我确实不必去看了......

我去看Henning Mankell那天等在放映厅外面，从前一场Hotel Rwanda出来的观众就个个红钟着眼睛，一点不夸张。

主要是，这个片儿就跟看新闻一样，太那什么了。里面有个美国摄影师是挺典型的。他冒死出去拍了屠杀镜头，回来寄出去，男主角说：“西方国家该来干预了。”他说：“不一定。”男主角惊讶的说：“他们看到这样的镜头，能无动于衷么？”他很难堪的低头看着别处，不敢对视：“他们会，可是他们会说：'这真是惨极了。'然后接着吃晚饭。”
我的心一直往下沉，因为我知道这是真的。这就是后来发生的事实。美国因为刚在索马里已经受了挫折，撤兵无期受到国内强烈批判，不愿再趟卢旺达的混水。而且大部分人的想法是：这个非洲国家跟我们有什么关系呢？我们没有多余的资源来解决世界上所有的问题。近到前年liberia 内战，有多少人关心甚至知道呢？因为那是美国的传统势力范围，最后还是干预了。不然很可能又是一个索马里。让人觉得很压抑的是这种无力感。Shit happens all over the world, we want to help, but we can't help everyone, and we have tons of problems of our own.
