The film may be two years old, but I still think it deserves a thread.
This film was spectacular. The story was griping. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat. This was one of the greatest, most touching, most motivating films I've ever seen. Before, I thought there was little to my life despite all the troubles of the world and how I could affect them in anyway. Then I saw this film, and it got me thinking; thinking about what I would do in these situations. It got me interested in things, make me look forward to the aftermath of a bad situation, and the relief that followed after such a negative circumstance.
Hotel Rwanda is a historical film based on true events of the Rwandian Genocide of the early 90s that erupted between the two ethnic groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi. The main character, Paul Rusesabagina, is the manager of a Hutu hotel who opens the hotel to more than 1,000 people whom he must protect from the Tutsi by using bribes, blackmail, and favors.
Plus, Don Cheadle gives one damn good performance as Paul Rusesabagina which earned his a oscar nomination.
Has anyone else seen this masterpiece?
