African Lake Victoria ecosystem has been destroyed by the Nile perch of large exotic fish. Although the export industry of the Nile perch is on a lake of the city is developed, in the back serious problems, including the widening gap between the rich and the poor was in progress -. Documentary Abakidashi the adverse effects of globalization, "Darwin's Nightmare" will be published in the cinema rise from December 23. I turned to look at this movie, "" Hotel Rwanda, "Japan Association to support the public" representative of Yuta Mizuki, and their impressions, same movie that was Africa to stage"Hotel Rwanda"I had said and I think to.
Movie "Darwin's Nightmare" is here
Cinema Rise is here
- Please let us know what you think of watching a movie.
It was a very shocking movie. And "what is going on such a thing ...", I feel has passed two hours while you are stunned. In the back it is profitable part of the people by the processing and export of the Nile perch, expansion of the difference between the environmental destruction and the rich and poor is progressing rapidly. In particular, or each other beat around the rice full of street children, in order to escape from hunger, scene of an organic solvent that dissolved the Styrofoam packing or sucked into the drug instead now want to cover your eyes painfully It was. And very surprisingly, that the Nile perch, which were exported from Lake Victoria Nante had eaten also our Japanese fish .... On the other hand, in local, remain after the export, and fish skin, which springs of maggots, there are poor people to food gathered desperately bone. Such status quo is vividly To showing off the video, and now Itatamarenai feeling.
- It's the problem is by no means independent of Japanese.
But I felt even "Hotel Rwanda", at first glance, even in the distant country of the event, has led that their somewhere. I'm able to, such as black bass are driving out native species has become a problem in Japan of the lakes. Also in that regard, the problem is felt that it is not the people's affairs that this movie is cast. But, I do not think even something where vowed "'ll not eat the Nile perch from today" is resolved. So, heck, we in what they can do. Not that come out of the answer simple, at least, only that there is this kind of reality I thought strongly and Remember. There were many also aching scene, still a "good to watch", at heart, the feel, it will be to a power of this movie.
- Did you know something about Tanzania.
Rwanda and Tanzania are adjacent to each other, but shame, did not have any knowledge about Tanzania. But, in the movie, using the flights return to airlift the Nile perch, are not we're smuggling a large amount of weapons, but it had been proposal suspicion the problem. It is also a possibility that has been implicated in Rwanda's civil war, and I think if you do not need in other people's affairs. In the future, if you saw the Tanzania topic on television and newspapers, I think that surely become as lean. Also it has become the kind of opportunity, I was glad to have met this movie.
From the film "Darwin's Nightmare"
- How did the first place that Mizuki's was interested in Rwanda?
At the time of the first year high school, Hutu and Tutsi is conflict in Rwanda, was shocked to read that the Tutsi minority is the massacre in the newspaper. But it was also focused on the subsequent reports, as the civil war is to calm down, I unawares had faded even storage of in me. Nevertheless, when the Omoita' the traveling alone to foreign countries in the 4-year college, I thought, "I want to go" it was Rwanda. It Will too was strong first impression. Because to Rwanda did not have a direct flight to arrive in Nairobi over the Netherlands, visited Kenya, Uganda, and in the order of Rwanda by land from there. Although starting I before was investigated in such guide book to, at that time, less the Rwanda of information, "Well, somehow become either" was starting without deciding also hotel where they will be staying with a light that feeling. Because I was the first of all through not place also English in overseas travel, now, considering, but it was quite reckless, there is I guess would say that ignorance of the strength (laughs).
- Or impressions that traveled to Rwanda was your.
In Rwanda I stayed three nights in Kigali, the capital. From calm the civil war, still 5, since only was time in less six years, I was visited convinced that would have devastated even the capital. However, we are actually a cityscape is well-equipped, in the bank to some ATM, did not see the scars of the civil war unexpectedly. It surprised and at the same time, there is a memory that was very relieved about it. Still, not a few children who are thought to have lost a leg in a mine in the town, It was telling that the civil war was at hand, there was also the figure of people who would have sent a pretty poor life. Stay period is short, but not only looking into a small part of Rwanda, actually witnessing the spectacle of local, was able to contact with the people, was a very valuable experience. There was a warm very friendly Rwandan people. Also the contact with foreigners, did not seem too familiar. It did not have to encounter the danger.
- The "" (currently "renamed to cheer Association to") Hotel Rwanda "meeting to determine the Japan public" was launched, what circumstances it was that the would do?
When there was ample time to quit his job of a movie theater, I learned the "Hotel Rwanda" in the news that has been nominated for three divisions of the Academy Award. Because I did not know the other Nante movie depicting Rwanda, "unless absolutely watch!" And looking forward to have a How can, then, distribution away from the anxiety of the box office is a public stepping on second thought has been threatened in Japan to know that .... That said, and in particular political intentions, public ideological think at all without that I want to tell the devastation of Rwanda, from the feeling that you want purely movie is watched as a movie fan, in mixi of "Hotel Rwanda." It launched a community seeking. Such a place unexpectedly, since the gathered one after another sponsor, we started a signature campaign launched a formal meeting in June 2005. In addition, became a hot topic than expected there is also that it has been featured in the media, finally signed also 4,595 people were gathered. And the negotiation of the distribution company has the right source and the amount of money that was aware of the state of such a motion through our home page, we finally decided to publish from January 2006.
- Charm of "Hotel Rwanda" is, what kind of place you do?
Personally, even among those seen so far, I believe that one of the best masterpiece. Anyway, you can enjoy a variety of elements. The is excellent as a documentary that depicts the state of civil war, of course, there is also a sense of urgency as the suspense. And, to higher degree of perfection as a "cry the movie" I'm not a very favorite word, even further acting is also a splendid music of the actors attractive. This much movie to a person's mind to eagle Zukami is, I do not think there early. Recently, I went to the rental video store, DVD of "Hotel Rwanda" has been borrowed all. Nante might have not been published such work, but it does not believe in now. Even recently, and in the circle of schools and communities there is a Screening of "Hotel Rwanda", it may also be a lecture I also sometimes called. Through such activities, we will be reminded of the really influential movie. Currently, is exploring the future of the road including the work, is a mistake that seems able to send a life deeply involved in the movie in the future.
