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, :shock: 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。 :roll: Stir all the shit up. :-(
劝大家就别看了。 :shock:

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. :shock:
