A Modern Day Schindler's

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2005)

I just came back from seeing this terrific film. I can't get over how good it was. Don Cheadle was perfect in the role as Paul Rusesabagina. He was able to convey the emotions and tension so well. The entire movie was well shot, the audio and soundtrack was terrific and the scenes were honestly and truly moving. One of the best scenes was when the priest accompanied by a sea of nuns and orphaned children poured into the hotel. I was honestly and truly crying there. It was that moving. The only other time I've cried during a movie was during Schindler's List where Liam Neeson is departing the factory and he looks at all of his clothes and comments on how each article of his could have saved more people. I truly believe that these two movies had a lot in common. Both men were in positions of power and safety, yet they used their influence and money to benefit human kind. In conclusion, congratulations to Terry George on a film well done!
