Hotel Rwanda and Harvey's with Bonnie

After our anticlimactic trip to Old Baldy on Saturday, Bonnie and I decided
to go home and see a movie. After a bit of relaxation, we went to see
Hotel Rwanda, a story
about a Hutu hotel manager who decides to save a group of Tutsi people when
Rwanda erupts in racial bloodshed. Quite a good movie, a bit gory at times,
and amazing that he would take on such a quantity of personal risk to save a
large group of people who he doesn't know. Though it's not so surprising
that he wants to save his Tutsi family too... it's not quite as selfless
(or as well done) as, say, Schindler's List, but it was a compelling
display of courage and moral conviction nonetheless.
