Unbelievably Gripping

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2005)

This movie is one of the greatest movies I have seen in years. It is by far my favorite movie of all time, surpassing Pulp Fiction. But besides it being a great "movie", it's a great story... The happenings in Rwanda really needed to get out to the public, and a documentary was not the way to go about getting attention. This did it, this really did. The decision to take what happened in Rwanda and personalize it to a single individual was a great one. The connection you feel for Paul and his family in this movie is far greater than any other movie you'll find yourself watching. You'll notice subtle little things about his character, his personality... It has some of the most influential scenes I have ever seen. I will admit, I find myself "downloading" movies a lot more than going to them. But my family rented this movie, and now I've made it a point to purchase it... and show it to everyone I know. You wont regret seeing this movie, you will leave your seat with a lot more knowledge, and a lot more heart. I specifically registered on this site to give this movie the rating it deserves, hopefully more people will see it.
