soul searching, and sobering!
Added 1/28/2010
A realistic,visual account of one man`s struggle to save lives during our world`s history of the madness of genocide! Much like the Nazism,Religious Fanaticism,murdering of ordinary people, simply because of who they are is mind-boggling and takes time for ones mind and human spirit to process. An exceptional visual experience!

I can't say much that the other reviewers haven't said, especially the top-voted review for this DVD. I knew this movie wasn't going to be happy or anything, but wow. Some of the scenes were very stark and gripping, with quite a few tear-jerker moments.
It's especially very sobering considering that this was based off a true story, and that this kind of thing still happens around the world, not just Africa. It disgusts me that people today still consider genocide an acceptable option for ANYTHING. Heck, I wouldn't know the difference between a Hutu and a Tutsi, they all looked the same to me. It truly saddens me that people are willing to kill and beat and rape just because someone's a Tutsi, even though many of them married Hutus, had children, worked and lived alongside Hutus, and never did a single dang thing against their neighbors.

Hotel Rwanda
Added 1/10/2010
Ten years ago, as the country of Rwanda descended into madness, one man made a promise to protect the family he loved--and ended up finding the courage to save over 1200 people. Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager in Rwanda, secretly used his position and intelligence to shelter over a thousand refugees during the genocide crisis. Cheadle is great in this movie. A very moving and powerful movie.

Don Cheadle is excellent in this. I would recommend this to any one who has doubts about Don Cheadles acting ability. He takes this story to a level higher to capture the audience and drag you into the story to feel the characters emotional state.
