a pervert piece of film

Rating: 1/10 (5 May 2005)

Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot... genocides under their rule are what we consider the biggest crimes in history. but just 10 years ago there was another one...almost one million people were slaughtered in rwanda. all nations worldwide were watching. no one did intervene.
this setting is shown in this movie where we see a lot of brave people, a lot of good people, who are so full of altruism one believes them to be angels. they go through a hard time and in the end everybody is happy. we have a nice score. we have a be reunion in the end. everybody is happy. we can leave the cinema with a warm feeling, isn't that great.
but wait...what about the real 900.000 people killed. what about the nations of the world just watching? oops someone seemed to have forgotten about them.
how can you make a movie about the times of civil war in rwanda and just show good people. how can you create a classic Hollywood movie with this theme? thats more cynicism than i can bare. have we come this far, that we enjoy a genocide as background for a nice evenings entertainment. i found it very hard to watch this movie, because i was just disgusted.
