When I first watched this movie, I was sitting with my eyes glued to the screen, and for the first time I couldn't find anything to smile about in a movie. I agree certainly that it was powerful and very very moving. All the ethical discrimination was embarrassing and unhuman, and the main character (forgot his name...) has my everylasting respect for his courage. He was like a German openly helping Jews in front of Nazis. I thought long and hard about what I'd do in his place, and I don't think I'd have the courage to do what he did, I am much more self-centered than he is, and although I have compassion and empathy, I have not yet become so saintly as to let them override my natural instinct of survival needs. This thought again makes me feel how very remarkable he is.

I saw it and was impressed. Still am, but I have been given the cause to wonder about other schemes, as such. Since then, I have been made aware of the fact that our government is involved in its own Hotel Rwanda, albeit the controlled demolition of the world trade centers, especially WT7 exposed in a scientific study by Dr. Stephen Jones of Brigham Young University. Now, I think governments are the single road to corruption and only people's innate regard for life will diminish the will by those who are corrupted by money and power. Or, is it something more...? Why can't we take care of our own? Why can't this democracy distribute stresses evenly, rather than have a few muck it up so completely? What haven't we learned? Does Hollywood have something to do with it?
