I have found a movie which is called the "Hotel Rwanda". The movie is a true story of Paul Rusesabagina, who is a temporary manager of a small hotel. In this movie, Paul used his hotel to help thousands of people and used his pwn connections to save their lives. He sees many poor people in the hotel, even including the poor person who drink water from the swimming pool. The poors Paul sees in the hotel has a huge influence to him, he wants to help them and he really do it.
As a manager of the hotel, Paul is a very nice and kind character in this movie. The movie makes him a kind hearted and loving hotel manager. We could see that the pop culture respects the job of my field, and the people who work at the hotel are also kind and welcomed by others. In this portrayal, the hotel manager is like a great man and saved a lot of people. Although hotel management is a sevice industry, it is still respected by the pop culture. I think nowadays many people don't repect the people who are engaged in service industry, these kinds of portrayal of my field in popular culture could help people change the way they think about the workers in my field.
Hotel Rwanda is one of my favorite movie which can compete with Schindler's List. It showed me another side of war and races' conflict happened in 1994. Paul used up his own power not only to save thousands of suffered people, but also give them real hope. He "betrayed" the tribe he belongs to. He tried his best to protect his wife and daughter, like what would a real man do. In other words, Paul Rusesabagina is such a hero that standing out in a chaos to give his hands to those who needs them most.
