Hotel Rwanda: Difference between revisions

Line 12:
It should also be noted that, as stated above (and touched upon in the movie), the differences between the Hutu and the Tutsi were largely exacerbated by the Belgians, Rwanda's former colonial overlord. There are no real significant linguistic, physical or cultural differences between the two groups; in fact, the words originally seemed to correspond to status designations -- roughly translated, "hutu" means "client" and "tutsi" means "patron".

=== Tropes used by the film: ===
 
* [[Badass Pacifist]]: Paul. It's one thing to stand up to psychotic, blood-crazed mobs when you're an armed ass-kicker. It's another thing altogether to do it when you're a hotel manager armed only with an iron backbone and wits.
* [[Based on a True Story]]: But dramatized for the sake of the movie.
