Hotel Rwanda

Hotel Rwanda had me a little confused from the start. I didn’t understand why there was a separation and basically war going on. Hotel Rwanda showed how badly a group of people wanted to damage the lives of others who were almost identical to them. Two groups the Tutsi and Hutu, who are the same race, and hold the same culture and beliefs, so it didn’t seem as if it was an act of violence due to those reasons but of an act on the social level of the two groups.
The Hutu were of the higher class coming from more money. I feel like a lot of what happened throughout the movie had to do with bribes and who they were too, so that one could get what they wanted, the other needed something in exchange. Paul pretty much had to buy his family back from the military, as well as giving him the best Scotch around which stands as a bribe. The general cared only for himself and his safety.
He takes refugees into his hotel, from children to elders. He was such a positive and strong man, who put his life at risks for others. But, because of what he was doing all of the violence and anger from the soldiers grew stronger because he was keeping all these people hidden in his hotel.
Paul had some connections with the UN Peacekeeping forces but they were not strong enough to take control of the situation. The Hutu are at war for what seems to be the anger toward the Tutsi people because they have overtaken Rwanda. The Tutsi were given the power by Belgian Colonists. Paul who is a Hutu and wife a Tutsi do not believe the Hutu have any right doing what they are doing, he makes his way through trying to save the Tutsi people with the little bit of power he has of being a Hutu because he cannot really be touched, but his family can so he treads very very lightly about this
