It was incredibly hard to watch. It shows only a tiny part of what actually happened there. The world should have had pay more attention to this. WE should have had to pay attention. It cannot happen again. Nowhere in the world.

The tension in this film never lowers, it's adrenaline inducing. Focus more on a small part of the conflict but it's just so good

_Hotel Rwanda_ is a harrowing and deeply human drama that sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in modern history. Centered on Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who shelters refugees during the Rwandan genocide, the film captures the unimaginable courage required to remain compassionate when surrounded by horror. Don Cheadle delivers a phenomenal performance, grounding the story in quiet strength and moral conviction. His portrayal gives the film a heartbeat—measured, determined, and painfully real. The supporting cast complements him beautifully, helping to create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and overwhelming in scope. What stands out most is the film’s focus. It doesn’t attempt to cover every aspect of the genocide but instead zeroes in on one man’s desperate, improvisational fight to protect others. The tension never lets up, and the film’s restraint makes its emotional weight even heavier. Like Schindler’s List, Hotel Rwanda succeeds by personalizing atrocity—showing how ordinary people can rise to extraordinary decency in the face of evil. It’s a difficult watch, but a necessary one. 9/10.

This movie is an excellent and therefore also very graphic and emotionally cruel depiction of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. This was one the worst genocides in human history that killed about 800’000 people in only 100 days. The UN, as well as all Western countries, have failed to play their role in protecting the people and showed clearly that to them African lives count less than Western lives. A shame. It also shows how low humanity can sink. An excellent movie that helps that the world does not forget this low point in human history.

The Hutus were evil. Ok
