3 Perspectives of Hotel Rwanda

HOTEL RWANDA

Hotel Rwanda is a movie talking about 3 different groups of people: Hutu, Tutsi, and the United Nations. Basically it is a true story about a Hutu hotel manager, Paul Rusesabagina, who helped more than thousands of Tutsi refugees during their war between Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda.


Hutu:
For the Hutus' perspective who were trying to kill Tutsis, they wanted to kill all the "cockroaches" because their president lied to their president and killed him. They felt like they got betrayed by someone promised to be peace with them. Because they cannot handle their depressions of it. they decided to kill Tutsis. For the Hutus, like Paul, who wanted to help the innocent Tutsis alive, they look those Tutsis as part of Hutus, just with a different name for their group. Paul tried anything he could do to save all the neighbors. At first he gave the Hutus his money, then he bribed them by giving them with expensive wines. Although he almost failed, he tried again and that leaded him to where success is.


Tutsi:
The Tutsi refugees' perspective is one-word simple: innocent. Thy did not choose to be a Tutsi nor to be a group of people who have a president that lies. In the movie, the refugees try to live by finding ways to escape, but some got killed by the Hutus. They did not have the power to decide with their government, so they did not tell their president to kill Hutu's president. Therefore, they were innocent when they got killed.


United Nation:
For the United Nation, they wanted to help, but they lift for a while when they were told to leave the Tutsis in Hutu place alone. At first they were willing to help Paul to protect the Tutsis in his hotel, but after he realized his status, the United Nation stop helping Paul. Some of then wanted to help, but some, like soldiers and chiefs, looked at him like the other Hutus and Tutsis.
