Blog 13



War is a terrifying thing, as shown in the movie Hotel Rwanda. Hotel Rwanda takes place during the civil war between the Hutu and Tutsi people. Paul Rusesabagina is Hutu but his wife Tatiana is Tutsi, causing much anger from Hutu extremists. Through out the movie you see a war torn country, where bribes and beatings are common. Through out this movie you see families taken from their homes, people killed, and people begging for their lives. It is a very emotional movie that really shows just how scary war is. Several times during this film Paul must plead for his families life, barely making it some times. Paul not only manages to save himself and his family but also refugees that were using his hotel as a safe haven. This emotional movie, brings you along a journey of terror, a very real journey that unfortunately many have had to endure.
