Human Face on Little Known Genocide...Devastating Viewing

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2011)

If your tired of over-dramatic "true stories" don't let that sway you from watching Hotel Rwanda. Hotel Rwanada is neither over-overdramtic or exaggerated and what you are left with is a surreal but truthful kick to the heart that will leave you thinking "Wow, I really don't have it that bad"
Don Cheadle was superb and truly represented Paul Ruseasabagina with dignity and honesty. The film is an utter masterpiece and is packed with suspense and sadness (not in a good sense, but representing the feelings that were happening at the time)
The movie is a real "eye opener". It will probably make you want to investigate Sudan, where similar autrocities are happening as I type this. It will make you question humanity, and view humans no greater than a drunken dingo. It makes Titanic look like a Disney movie and in fact, you probably wont care about the people who died on the titanic at all when you finish hotel rwanda.
The fact that this is a recent event happening little more than a decade ago brings a sort of sickness to your stomach. You realize that you were probably at school, or a child eating ice cream cones when 1 million men woman and children where gunned down and hacked up with michettes in rwanada in a 3 month period.
As for the film itself. The acting was superb, the atmosphere was intense, the fear was lingering and the imagery was tremendous. I think however, Hotel Rwanda is more than a movie, way more, way way more. Its a true story... and the film itself is worth as much as the paper history books are printed on.
I feel that if anybody doesn't watch this movie they would be disrespecting all those who died needlessly in 1994. as said in the movie by the Canadian luitenant working for the UN "nobody in the West gives a S**T about African N***rs". I think its about time people start to understand what happened.
Watch it you will not be disappointed.
