Hotel Rwanda

We have just finished watching our second movie about the Rwandan Genocide. "Hotel Rwanda" was very different from "Sometimes in April" in that it was a lot less graphic and showed a lot less of the actual genocide. This made the story a lot more focused on the feelings, relationships and politics behind the genocide. "Hotel Rwanda" also ended on a much better note than "Sometimes In April". In the latter, the movie ends with every single member of Augustine's family dead, but in "Hotel Rwanda" it ends with all of them escaping out of the conflict to Tanzinia. The films were also slightly similar in that they both centred around Hutu men who were married to Tutsi women. I enjoyed both of the movies equally and found it interesting how both showed different aspects of the genocide.
