Movie Review

MILLION VOICES UNHEARD...

MOVIE: Hotel Rwanda
GENRE: Historical drama
RATING: 4/5

SYNOPSIS: ‘Hotel Rwanda’, directed by Terry George is a historical drama based in the true incident of the 1994 genocide in Kigali, Rwanda due to the Hutu- Tutsi tension, with the Hutu power intending to eradicate the ‘Tutsi cockroaches. The main protagonist, Paul Rusesabagina played by Don Cheadle is the House Manager of Hotel Milles Collines, is a Hutu with a Tutsi- background family. The whole movie covers his courage and loyal behaviour for his fellow beings. Several strong aspects have been depicted in the movie. Some of the aspects are ‘family integrity’- the constant support of Paul’s wife Tatiana, played by Sophie Okonedo, has been a very strong background throughout the movie, and had been a source of strength for him for all his decisions. Another strong aspect has been that of ‘violence’- the screen-play does not include close-ups of the bloodshed but does show the process and massacred bodies quite explicitly. The drug and alcohol content has been extensive and quite explicit and has been used at a lot of occasions for instance, bribing, etc.
Overall, the movie has a strong chemistry between all the characters and is certainly an impactful and informative movie.
