reflection on Hotel Rwanda

Watching this movie made me feel very dumbfound. The entire movie portrayed the massive genocide in Rwanda which 8000 people died daily. Organizations such as the UN didn't respond and solve the problem in Rwanda, while telling the globe that they are existing to keep peace. My first reaction to the horrors of the incident was thinking of the song 'Black Hole Sun' by Soundgarden. It seems it's always the world leaders who claim to be smarter than everyone else while they act based on a childish mind. I wish there was a 'Black Hole Sun' that would take away all the bad people to the abyss forever and bring peace.

However, although I think of all these ideas criticizing the world and ideas for preventing these such incidents, I don't see a picture that the world will be changed very much. These kinds of movies that show the wrongdoings of the world are numerous, influencing the people around the world. Nevertheless it is the world leaders who make the big choices, whether to cause big problems or not. Today, the world has turned to a war zone where politicians put one to sleep forever if causing troubles for them. For example, the craphead president bush is playing G.I.Joe with the American Army in Iraq. It's sometimes funny to see people criticize the leader they picked, too. Whatever, we have to live with these crapheads.

After I read about the incident in Rwanda, I felt a pang inside me. I felt a little bit of connection to the genocide at Rwanda because of the Korean War. Although I'm not from the generation that went through the Korean War, I was strongly influenced by the people from the war, such as my grandparents. I personally cannot understand people fighting against its own people. It's pretty dumb because Americans would go have a drink if they meet one another while Korean people cuss at one another if they're not from the same hometown. I just get angry at people who kill its own people. It's so dumb to kill someone and claim that you have power. All I can see from violence is nothing but blood and grief, not power. I hope all the ones who did such things stink and burn after they die. Another thing that I got mad about the whole incident was that the others who claimed to help their allies turned aside and got busy rescueing their own people only. Personally, I greatly loath backstabbers. It seems UN uses lies and its ties with other countries to avoid getting blamed on. It's always the grown ups who cause big troubles from stupid mistakes. What a shame that the world leaders are nothing but mindless brats with steel fists.
