Hotel Rwanda has to be the saddest movie i've ever seen, because it hit me hard. what i lived through was no genocide but a lot of fucking people did die that night. my mom, michelle, my grandma, my uncle, and myself were very lucky.
there were parts of the movie that i began shaking and had trouble breathing because it was just so similar it brought back everything. i could smell the mountains, i could taste the fear,i could hear the cries, i could feel the dirt and the cold rifle against my temple. we were so close to dying, so fucking close to just getting our heads blown off. we'd just be another number to add to the hundreds of people that die up in those mountains. my mother was so bold and strong, to have the fucking nerve to try and negotiate while you're at fucking gun point. that's balls.
my name's jenyffer moreno and i fucking survived being kidnapped and lived through a mini-civil war. who at my fucking age has a story like that to tell?
the line from the movie that made me so upset was, "sure people will notice. they'll think 'oh how horrible' and go on eating their dinner," it made me upset because it's the fucking truth. and it makes me so mad that we're like that. but no one's really to blame, that's just the way we were brought up.
needless to say, i cried during the entire movie. i feel a lot better.
go see the movie. it's good. educate yourself.
other than that, it was a fun night. super walmart is ALWAYS fun. chrissy you are so much fun, you should hang out with us more often. <3
