Hotel Rwanda

[IAteYourMother]

While many of us have heard about it, I guess the magnitude of the genocide really is magnified through visual representations such as this movie. I almost cried during some scenes it was so saddening, especially because it happened. I felt a lot of anger and sorrow as I watched it, knowing that much of it could've been stopped. What were your feelings after watching the movie?

On the other hand, Don Cheadle is a great actor like always, but hopefully will be recognized even more for his acting.

good movie. Don Cheadle's one of my favorite actors. Probably going to see Crash soon

This movie screwed me up last night. I recommend it but doubt I could ever watch it again. It's pretty damn painful.

Going to buy the DVD whenever I see it on sale.

You can probably grab a previously viewed one at Hollywood Video or Blockbuster these days.

[shilala]

I saw it. It was worth the watch.

 

[essasin]

Worth watching at the movies and worth buying the DVD.

 

[James3shin]

good flick...I dont' think I'd buy it on DVD. Just not one of those movies I would like to watch again.

Excellent movie. I would have liked to see Don Cheadle win the best actor award instead of Jamie Fox.

They were both awesome, but I think Foxx deserved it. It's 1000x harder to play a specific guy that was known and loved the world over than to play a guy that nobody ever heard of. I think Cheadle would've deserved it if not for Ray.

I thought it was an awesome movie, very sad though.

Watch it? I lived it.

Well, it was actually more of a Ramada Inn Hotel. And not so much a genocide...but a birthday party for someone I didn't really like very much.

 

[PrayForDeath]

Looks promising. I haven't seen it yet, though.
By the way, the poll is pointless. If you said something like "what do you think of the movie", that would've been better IMO.

Sad but true, watch as the original situation perpetuates itself again as the US ignores the movie, too....

Read the book Shake Hands with the Devil by Roméo Dallaire (the general in charge at the time).
