Saw Hotel Rwanda last night and am left without much to articulate about it, except that it was staggering.

There’s one scene, though:
An American cameraman has gotten footage of the atrocities taking place (not graphically illustrated in the film, by the way). The protagonist, a Rwandan man, is thanking him, saying that surely that footage will make the world see that the West must intervene. The cameraman (Joaquin Phoenix), shakes his head and says that more likely, people will look up form their dinners, say, “That’s terrible,” and then forget about it.

Which is what proceeded to happen, large-scale.
See it, okay?
