Description

Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world.

''There will be no rescue, no intervention for us. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as if you are reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help.'' The true-life story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who housed over a thousand Tutsi refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda. A true story of a man who fought impossible odds to save everyone he could and created a place where hope survived.

[Film] Hotel Rwanda

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago at Jan 8 1:26
I love this movie. Based on a true story, the movie succeeds in evoking all the right emotions in the viewer while accurately portraying one of the most horrific events in recent human history. To put it simply, Hotel Rwanda is the kind of movie that conveys its message effectively while at the same time providing the audience with an entertaining movie-going experience. The filmmaker's choice to put the focus on the family of Paul Rusesabagina and the human stories in the face of the atrocities makes it easy for the audience to relate to the story and the characters. The film becomes personal and emotionally involving as the audience go through the same fears, anxieties, hopes and sorrows the characters go through in the movie. The acting certainly helps. The performance of Don Cheadle an...Read more

This is one of those films you really have to see. Its heartbreaking to see, I don't know exactly what happened in that time so I can't judge whether or not this movie was true to what actually happened. All I know is that this deserved the Academy Award nominations, it is truly amazing and Don Cheadle was perfect for his character. He put so much passion into this movie, I can't imagine anyone else as that role.

Great film but when it comes to the genocide in Rwanda I think Sometimes in April (not shown in Australia as a telly movie but as a movie) was actually more hard hitting then this one. Mainly because you got to see more of a portrayal of the atrocities and massacres where as this, to me, felt like it was more sheltered. Yes I'm aware that this was a true story but I don't think enough of the horror was portrayed. Although it could be good for people who want to watch something a long this line but are too sensitive to handle how bad it actually was.

Rating : 8/10

A must see movie.
