Hotel Rwanda

I haven't seen Million Dollar baby, but I sure think that this movie deserved the Oscar atleast to make up for the world's indifference when Rwanda was burning. The OST is also very appealing. Two lines that caught my attention and sums up pretty much all of our attitudes when we see such atrocities.
  • This one is from the movie, where a journalist explains what happens when people get to see genocide reports on television - "After they see this, people are going to say 'My god that is terrible', And then go on eating their dinners. "
  • After the movie ended, I heard a discussion in the restroom. A white teenage girl exclaimed to her friend "I am like so happy, that all this like happens in these other countries"

Well people may have gone on eating their dinners...but if they 'like feel lucky for what they like have' it would have been a movie worth making...and even though that girl*ref second take-away frm the movie* may not have said it in the best of spirit/intention...looks like she did begin to realise she was 'blessed' in some way!Give her a few years it might finally sink in!
