Hotel Rwanda was a great representation of the big man with the example of the stuffed shells in the kitchen of the hotel and how the manager told them to substitute the meat with a cheaper local substance to make more rather than have a better quality. Power and money cause controversy in this situation throughout the movie, a great example of how money will cause countries to hesitate to intervene to prevent loss of substance. The Europeans did not want to intervene because they would lose a large portion of their income from selling weapons to the rebels.
This movie was so sad and it made me value my freedom a lot more. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering that this culture went through during this dark time. Driving along the road and only being able to see dead bodies is unimaginable and makes me wonder how could someone do this to another human just to kill them. As a future teacher and just a human, it hurt my stomach at the thought that the rebels are planning to execute all of the tootsie children to wipe out the next generation. This moving was eye opening but I did not enjoy watching it because every minute, I had to fight back the tears.
