Hotel Rwanda - what a great movie.....I have been waiting for its release on DVD and could not wait to watch.....
Movie is about the infamous genocide of close to 800,000 million people in a tiny country Rwanda in Africa. Rwanda is also famous for last surviving destination for mountain gorillas.
A former Belgian and other Euro colony has always been plagued by civil unrest. in 1994, it hit the new high with Hutus and Tutsi, two major tribes with hatred for each other. What followed is a genocide of unimaginable scale. What makes it more macbre is the cruelty with which it was carried out.
Hotel Rwanda is a story of a hotel manager in the capital Kigali who is the epitome of humanity and saves several hundred people by sheltering them in his hotel. His ingenuity, presence of mind and putting his limited resources to best possible use for the good humanity became legendary and are well captured in the movie.
This is one movie that will reinfoce that "he is blessed who lives for the rest".......
Superb screen play, excellent cast, and great acting....
Cheers!
