I think that giving value to human life is something that this officer struggled to understand. He could not believe that this fellow hutu was going so far for people that could have been killed the next day.
there are a few ways to look at this. If the officer was racist wouldn't he have valued their lives less? 100k francs. I feel like it was our protagonist that truly thought they should be worth less. So unfortunately the real racist is the protagonist. The officer is just an opportunist.
@@TheMelorino I agree, the real question is, what is a human life worth? Alot more than just 100k Francs in a package deal of a dozen people. The both of them got this wrong. The only one who atleast deserved thanks, is Paul for trying to save their lives, still not 100% right, but his heart was in the right place.
@@TheMelorino The protagonist was doing what he could to save them. To consider the protagonist racist while he was dealing with a desperate situation is completely absurd.
@@TheMelorino you're trying too hard - your bootless attempt to apply harebrained logical reasoning in order to achieve a ludicrous conclusion is sad.

It is a story about a genocide, yes. But each genocide is unique, different from all others. And, they all have the similarity of one group of people believing they’re entitled to slaughter another group.
Except there’s a bit more controversy to go around about this. Namely inquiries into Rusesabagina’s actual character during the genocide based on testimony from the actual refugees who were at the hotel, and Romeo Dallaire and other UNAMIR members condemning the movie as a grossly untruthful take on the actual events of the genocide.
@@matthewgaviola8885 well the UN is usually full of crap It is possible though that he had sympathies for the old government but not for genocide, but the accusations that he actually helped do it sound like bullshit
If my calculations are correct, the cost to buy Paul's family and neighbors from being executed was around 2100 U.S dollars. In 1994 (and if the document I read is correct), a US dollar was worth about 143 Rwandan Francs. 10,000 Francs at that time would been almost $70. There was almost 30 people in the group so multiply the $70 by 30 and you get $2100. If the exchange rate today was used in 1994, the cost of the group would have been $300. 10,000 francs now is now worth 10 U.S dollars.
There are two types of Francs in Rwanda. The usual Francs and Rwandan Francs. Paul pays in usual Francs. Rwandan Francs is very low. 10 000 Rwandan Francs is worth about 9 DOLLARS. But Francs is like Dollars. Like Swedish money, SEK or kr. If I were chose to have 10 000 SEK or 10 000 Dollars I would have choose dollars instead of SEK, because 10 000 Dollars in swedish money would have been 102 319 SEK/kr. In a scene where Paul tries to give General Bizimungu a bribe with Rwandan Francs, he takes them and throws them away and says: "Rwandan francs! They are only good for wiping your ass."

Why did Paul insist on taking his family with him to the hotel diplomat? He could have just gone there by himself and told his family to go straight to his own hotel. The whole incident could have been avoided.
First of all I think the makers of this film took some artistic liberties, and it is pretty hard to think quickly if a platoon of well armed and angry militants are waving guns in front of you. What if the commander says no? Or what if they become suspicious?
@@IGLArocknroll The commander just said he needed Paul to open the safe for him. That was it. The commander wasn't planning on bringing any of Paul's family. The only reason they came along is because Paul said he wanted them to come.
Why did Paul insist on taking his family with him? Sadly, it was due to roadblocks and military checkpoints being set up by the Akuzu(led by Colonel Bagasora and the wife of the dead president) who have control over the government though a coup(kinda). Had his family go straight to the hotel, potential chance would be they get stopped by the Rwandan military and they all get killed indiscriminately whether they be Tutsi or Hutu(They target all moderate Hutu and Tutsi). I say, this was a lose-lose situation but ensuring your family stay safe is what's on Paul's mind I believe.
@Frankly Frank in a way you are right, since hutus and tutsis lived in Africa. But mass killings are (sadly) not unique to africa. Khmer Rouge? Balkans? Holocaust?
It was 10000 francs per person. And back in 1994, if my research was correct, 1 dollar was equal to about 143 francs. 10,000 francs would have been about $70. There was almost 30 people in the group. So $70 times 30 would have been $2100. That would be 300,300 francs. However if today's currency rate was used back then, the cost to buy the group's safety would been almost $300. 10,000 francs now is about $10.
Also not sure if the producers did their research on the currency rate back then. Paul gave the officer 1000 US dollars which was worth 143,000 francs and I'm assuming 50,000 francs from his ring. That would have been enough buy 2/3 of the group, not just his wife and kids.
@@WerewolfVampire625 Still, that’s only peanuts compared to the vast sums Rusesabagina collected from the refugees. Add to that all the cars and houses that the refugees pledged to give to him whenever they run out of cash to pay. He was able to collect money even from *NON-REFUGEES,* who were compelled to sponsor refugees who had no money left. Some of those non-refugees were Hutus who were not targeted for genocide. Others were foreigners or foreign-residents who were abroad and wiring in cash to save refugees they knew at the hotel. For example a Hutu man called Munyarugerero is said to have written him a check for 7,000,000 francs. At the rate you gave, that was US$ 48,951. That 1994 sum is the equivalent of $90,174 in today’s US dollars. That’s a substantial amount by any standard. For example it is enough to purchase at least 4 brand-new cars. And that’s from just one person.
The information above is from the account of a refugee at the hotel, named Mukanyonga Immaculée. Quote: “I am today a retired journalist. I arrived at the Hotel des Mille Collines on the April 19th, 1994, with many other people led by Mr. Victor Munyarugerero, a Hutu married to a Tutsi who had hidden us at his home. All the refugees praise him for the devotion, generosity and sacrifice that he manifested in favour of the Tutsi refugees at the Hotel des Mille Collines. I have a bitter memory of Rusesabagina’s management. They chased us away from the hotel but we refused to leave, until Victor paid a cheque worth 7 million Rwandan francs as a guarantee. They refused us water, and we drew water from the swimming pool.”
If you ask them, they accuse France being responsible of it, because the French force that was stationned here didn't reacted fast enough. Yup, no kidding. They are unable to take responsibility for anything. The sad reality is that if the French reacted sooner, before the genocide, they would had accused them of neocolonism and intervening in African affair.
@@matthewpham9525 And if we did not, he would be accused to let the legitimate Rwanda government defendless against an ethnic uprising, or even creating ourselves the Tutsi rebellion to destabilize the country. That's exactly what we are accused of in Western Africa after we stopped helping African governments to control their own country. It is no surprise that Africans can't develop like Asians does with this mentality.
There were many instances of genocidaires bitterly complaining (yes, COMPLAINING) that their victims were bad people, because when it became clear they were about to be murdered, they tore up their money to shreds. The murderers couldn’t have it.
@@paulhatcher8450 Certainly the least one could say. It’s just that the murderers thought they were entitled not only to their victims’ lives, but also to all of their belongings. They were criminally insane.
@DiamondPie Paul might not have quite had the types of close calls like the film shows, but apparently soldiers did show up at his house and he had to variously convince and bribe corrupt military. His wife had to turn back to the hotel after being targeted, apparently that happened as well as the UN commander often being at the hotel.
