I watched it.
Good movie. Without it I hadn't even heard of this genocide at that time O_o (when it was released, a year ago) So very informative movie.
Indeed, quite sad, real story though. By the way, Paul Rusesabagina helped to direct the movie.

This was a great movie that makes you think. It truly shows how cruel some people can be.

I liked that movie, it was very informative. I think that movie made me hate the United Nations. I just couldn't stand how they didn't do anything about it and when they did, they didn't call it a genocide.. and they were a bit LATE. but whatevers -__-;;

also, I think one of the most memorable thing I remembered is when they showed the main character asking for help from american media/news. he thought they could actually help, and the news guys explained to them that even though they saw the terror of that place, they'll just shake their heads and say thats too bad, and move on with their dinner.

i watched this movie a while back.. it was an extremely sad movie and make one think about how hatred can be so cruel. it reminded of the holocaust and the movie Schindler's List. i think watching an interview of Don Cheadle talkign about his research for the movie and how he spoke with the real Paul Rusesabagina. Don Cheadle said that Paul Rusesabagina would still have nightmares about the tramtic event that had taken place and has a bit of metal problems because of it. but i think movies like this are great cause it puts these types of events out there and raises awareness..

i saw this in one of my lit. classes in high school and i cried my eyes out in class. everyone was like wtf but omg it is such a sad and inspiring movie. i think don cheadle's performance of the lead was oscar wining.

i recommend this movie to just about everyone because Hotel Rwanda isnt just one of those movies that just entertains you actually get something out of this movie.
