MCT:May 3, 2008''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.
Don Cheadle: Paul Rusesabagina
Nick Nolte: Colonel Oliver
Joaquin Phoenix: Jack Daglish
Hotel Rwanda in a way is the African version of Schinder's List if thats a way of describing human suffering, it's the best shot i have.
Bold strokes and human conviction displayed in beautiful persecution, seriously spine tingling as propaganda driven Soldiers kill innocents, as a country is torn down the middle. Two different types: Hutu and Tutsi.
It's amazing, gripping and heart crushing to take in.
Don Cheadle as Paul Rusesabagina displays such heroism, such compassion and shows that there are so many ways of fighting but none more important than battling using your heart and beliefs against the brute force of a Tyrant, of guns, of crimson eyed militia.
Frustratingly the Peacemakers cannot interfere, there in a sense no hope except in a man who wants to protect others, who is selfless.
Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix Jean Reno all churn out knock out supporting actors performances elevating the film even more with it's starry casting.
Massacres, Machetes...a blood soaked land, reporters desperately try to show the world, while we the audiences wish through gritted teeth and bated breath for something higher to stop the atrocities. Despotism, savagery that show the world is far from at peace.
Most importantly too Hotel Rwanda is based upon truth, based on events that occurred. Just like Schindler's List, Rwanda is about genocide, about extermination.
In this case the Tutsi paralleling the persecuted Jews of long ago.
Paul seeing all the bodies of the killing is gut wrenching as is seeing his complete breakdown as he whimpers and cries from witnessing such evils.
Another great scene for me when the truck transporting the Tutsi is attacked by angry hordes, intense to say the least.
An arguing Paul and a General talking about Scotland was memorable.
Hotel Rwanda delivers a message that man will forever be repeating mistakes unless we eliminate hate, despair and to learn from a blood soaked past.
The UN, the soldiers, when they give up it all seems hopeless. Paul is subjected to trials and revelations and above all he has a conscience doing what is right for the good of the people regardless if there Hutu or Tutsi, Black or White. We are all equals deserving of a better world to live in together, in peace.
Hotel Rwanda gave me so much it's hard to formulate and paint into words it's powerful meaning, Stories and event's like this need to be told...always.
The music is haunting, shredding my insides with it's waving tones and tear inducing sombre melodies of African Mastery Magic.
Tension is an understatement, Rwanda will have your heart racing and have you cursing at the screen with longing to try and alter what is happening.
If one man can make a difference, if one man can save many, then the world is made a better place.
A magnificent masterpiece of human struggle, redemption and hope. -

MCT:November 6, 2008Atrocities are sad and not fun to watch. And the movie does little to draw anything applicable from a story that is chock full of historical significance. Actually what am I saying its great I just get really depressed by movies where tons of bad stuff happens.

Touching, simply amazing. It tells a story of hope in a hopelessly tragic situation. HIGHLY recommended. On top of the great story, it is very informative so if you don't know much about Rwanda, this is definitely something you should see.
Love the soundtrack, too.posted 638 days ago -
I loved this movie. It was based on actual events... The actual characters couldn't act coz they were dead... I remember when this happened... and the actual hotelier is still living today... Many died because of who they were... Tutsi... Rwanda is still rebuilding after the aftermath that happened about 17 years ago...
