You will love this movie. Thankfully the focus of the movie was on the man and not on the genocide happening right outside his hotel. There is enough to place you firmly into the happening of the civil war.

You will find yourself riding along with Paul as he does the most amazing things, opens his heart and saves his fellow man. You will be on the edge of your seat with the suspense and tension as your heart is filled with emotion and your soul tested.

Every bit of this movie is a reward to you as you watch. You will learn more about yourself and be inspired to hopefully greater things. This is a movie to purchase and hold onto. When your kids are old enough, it is something they should as well see. A history lesson, a civics lesson, a humanities lesson and worth the hype. Get it, watch it, learn from it, and be inspired.

  LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD EVEN WHEN IT HURTS

This is a mind and soul wrenching true story that has been told for us in movie form. I was touched by the story that we have all read about in newspapers and seen on the news. I loved the Rwanda Boys then, but now my love for them is greater. This is a must see and not just once. The actors are great the story line sad but true. The human nature won't let you turn it off and in the end you are glad you watched to the end. A must for you library!

This movie definitely gives U an understanding of how people from other countries and nations are suffering from political asylum and communism. U are truly learning from this movie and enjoying the suspense of what will happen next. This is an excellent movie 2 share with family and friends and get a perspective on life in general.
I wanted more information 2 be act or played out by the characters in the end without sub text or written explanation @ the end. That lasted longer than the characters just acting it out. Overall, it is a great movie and it does make U upset as a Black or African American. We can be ver evil 2 eachother because of power and money. At some point somebody has got 2 stand and say, "Enough is enough"!

This movie is awesome! It should have won an Oscar but unfortunately it was running against 'Ray' and people were anticipating Jamie Foxx to deliver a wonderful performance. But this is a movie that should be shared in middle schools, colleges, and in every household. Whether you are American or not, it is movie that will touch heart and make you want to immediately get up and make a change!

  The power of one person
Review created: 10/03/06

If you ever doubt what one person can do to change others live and save their lives you need to watch this movie. This is based on a true story and that is pretty incredible. This movie will move you. Every time I see this movie I get something different out of it. It also illustrates how the UN and US turned it's back on a genocide and let millions die. It's incredibly sad but also uplifting. Highly inspirational story!

I almost never give a film a 5/5 rating, because there are almost no perfect movies. This, however is one of them. In no point was it lacking and in most points it excelled. Everything from the characters, to the plot, to the soundtrack, to the cinemetograpaphy was supurb. The historical account is utterly acurate, and it's message clear, non-polotical, and emotionally moving. If you have not seen this film, I urge you to watch it, especially if you are not familiar with the historical event of the Rwadan massacre.

"Hotel Rwanda" is a true story of the atrocities of genocide, or ethnic cleansing, that occurred in the African country of Rwanda. Many dismiss such accounts, believing it could never happen to them, or only happens in far away places. It is only by the grace of God that such things aren't so in my country. Hatred of others is an ugly thing, and one that yields only horror and brutality. "Hotel Rwanda" reminds us, through its accurate accounting of events of the time, that all anyone wants is a peaceful life - something that, unfortunately, those who have too often take for granted. I bought this movie as a reminder of how much I have to be thankful for, as well as how much I need to pray God's deliverance for us all. I consider this movie a must see, although not for its entertainment value, but for the lessons it will hopefully bring to light. Lessons that many need desperately to learn. God bless.

Sad and painful truth. This is a movie that must be watched by all. Anyone who fails to understand the message of this movie is simply doomed. This movie is a warning and also an evidence of the capacity of man in his real self outside of Jesus.

  Cryptic title, but accurately describes story.
Review created: 02/09/09
by:

Very difficult to watch at times. True story of the genocide perpetrated by the Huto peoples against the Tutisi peoples in 1994 in Rwanda after. Great acting & editing. Many examples of the wonderful cultural aspects of these two peoples. Look for the spontaneous dance routine by the young girls of the hotel lawns. Great example of how ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things in the face of extreme controversies, of not knowing if you will be killed in the nest hour.

Absolutely loved this movie! It was amazing! I have seen it several times, and had to buy it. The story is quite sad, and sometimes gruesome, but the film is amazing. Hotel Rwanda is based on a true story, and actual events, this is a tear jerker!

This movie is one of the best I have seen. It is based on actual events, which always interests me. The movie takes place in Rwanda and really opens your eyes to the horrible events that took place there. Your heart will break as you see the desperation of these people as they try to get help from other countries to no avail. After watching the movie over 5 times, I still cry.
