@@cameronbigcashman8481 I think op is referring to the fact the possibility of lack of intervention is mentioned, and in the end, there was little intervention.
I watch this movie like a thousand times, and until this day i still fill sad for all the people who die in Rwanda. I also discover that some HUTUS didnt want to participate in the slaughter against the TUTSI because they have friends who were Tutsi. But those who refuse to co-operate they get killed even if they were HUTU. I saw the history of how the belgans divide the entire nation but in my opinion dividing the nation in two groups of people by another country is a risk.
Isn’t the footage that Joaquin Phoenix’s character gets real actual footage from the genocide? My human geography teacher showed this to class and said that it was actually taken at the time.
I think I know what you're talking about, but it could be the one in the movie was a reenactment. There is a real news footage that had a similar appearance in setting but it was a lot more grisly because I remember it showed one of the victims being decapitated by the killers in a single swing while they were on their knees. It was really horrible, even if it was from afar.
I mean this is a vague insinuation of footage of the real genocide As you see a woman hit with what seems to be a blunt object of some sort, highlights how dull the blades used were to carry out the massacres. How cheap the weapons were and how improvised they were as well
They're not supposed to shoot unless fired upon. 270 UN peacekeepers can't stop 100,000 militia. Firing first would probably cause them to storm the hotel and literally hack everyone to pieces.
@@raphaelostrowski6336 probably because people feel that there shouldn't be nothing stopping a soldier from responding with lethal force after witnessing innocent people being cut down or seeing there own fellow soldiers being killed. Hell couple of decades before Rwanda Mad Jack Churchill a WW2 veteran was in a situation in the middle east O think as apart of the U. N. forces where he was told not to respond to a crazed group of murderers killing innocent people and he said f that and saved I think hundreds of people from a hospital who would have otherwise been gunned down by the militia group. Think he got a medal for that too.
@@drakeloki4214 Great, and who you blame then, when it backfires, or it turns out, that soldiers misread the situation and killed some innocent people? What then? There are rules exactly for that, so there is no vigilantes in the UN, going rambo.
The French did intervene, on behalf of those **committing** the genocide. They armed and supplied the Hutus who were committing these atrocities. It is “their civil war” insofar as it occurs in their country; if you trace the roots and sociopolitical background of the strifes and tensions, it all goes back to problems caused by colonizers.

this film so good. If anyone hasn't seen this film I highly recommend seeing it
This is a crazy form of foreshadowing
What are you talking about this is a true story

When things get bad you can always count on the UN to show up and fortify a single building
Thats not true. Sometimes, if they're feeling really motivated, they'll pass a non-binding resolution

2:25 He says the following line like he isnt just casually screwing two women, one of which that probably ended up getting murdered
...what?
what?
I don't understand why he tells them not to shoot. Why not open fire on those killers and save some innocents?
Be cause the U.N is a fucking waist of resources and are afraid of looking bad or being blamed for instigation.

Because they have legal orders. Why do people ask stupid questions. Do you not understand what international laws are

Thanks Michael
how are Belgium consulates not being .....
“How can they not intervene?” Means “why won’t some 20 year old kid from Arkansas or Paris die to protect us from our civil war?”
Y'all didn't hesitate to jump in when Vietnam was fighting for their independence against a former military power 😂
