So Great

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2007)

Besides the story is so well told, it was Don Cheadle's acting which makes the film so great.
Watching this film is witnessing mankind's virus of hatred. But nevertheless, real hero's don't wear a red cape with a golden S on their chest. Or costume themselves in red/blue body-tights with spider design. Nor they command young people to a country to bring them western democracy or peace.
Hotel Rwanda is shaking, thought-provoking and mainly great piece of filmmaker work. Which does not mean, that this picture should be seen as entertainment, because it's simply not.
It's really hard for me to write about technique, screenplay or storyline, because the movie almost is a documentary about those horrible happenings down there in 94.
Bravo, Don Cheadle ! Bravo, Sophie Okonedo ! Bravo, Terry George !
And everybody who gave their best in this movie to make the world a little bit more clear, that we cannot turn our eyes away or consume just news on TV, as it were just a show.
