a movie that must be seen

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2006)

everyone must see this movie, specially us from 'developed' countries (notice: i write from brazil...) according to what i heard, this movie hasn't been a great success. of course: it is umcomfortable to see it. specially if you intend to see it and eat your pizza later. not because of the blood, otherwise saw wouldn't be a blockbuster. because it is real. don cheadle is such a great actor, one of the best, he must be in more visible roles. of course his performance is influenced by the great character he played. all the cast is very good, even in small roles. no comments about always inspired nick nolte, joaquin phoenix and jean reno. hotel rwanda would be very touching if it was purely fiction. if you consider that all those atrocities and probably many more were real, you feel guilty and ashamed for being part of a humanity that still allows things like those to happen.
ps: if you liked hotel rwanda, see also the constant gardener. not so strong but equally touching and realistic.
