Hotel Rwanda

I wanted to catch it when it was released in 2004 but like the United Nations, I forgot about it. Ooh, unnecessary third-person cheap shot. If you haven't seen it yet, the film's about the Rwandan Genocide, one of the bloodiest of my time but nobody really talks about it anymore probably because it took place in Africa.

Innocent people were dying left and right because they happened to be of the wrong racial groups, women reduced to sex slaves for the soldiers, children being separated from their parents, the white people (even the U.N.) leaving the country because their lives are worth more. So naturally, it was a very dark film. Ooh, inappropriate joke.

I may be on some kind of odd anti-U.N. binge now, having just read Emergency Sex and watched this. I honestly want to be that loudmouth "idealistic" idiot who goes around criticising the U.N. (or fur wearers, meat eaters, major record labels, major corporations, fast food corporations, George Bush, America) just because of some forms of media (Blatantly one-sided ads, that fatass director whose name greased past my memory, Green Day, U2, Internet) I've just consumed. Yay for popular media-fueled hate and mindless sheeps!
