Hi anyone seen this movie and what are your thoughts. Thanks.

 

[*Ms.Star.(=]

I saw it ealier this year and thought it was excellent.

 

[ShaFlo]

Yes, I have watched it. I thought some of it was outstanding but other bits slightly boring.

 

[brittany (:]

Yeah, it was hyped up a lot, but it's worth watching.

It does get boring in places, but it's a true story, so I guess I shouldn't have expected cyborgs or trucks exploding, but there you go. I'd say it's worth watching, but not worth keeping.

Good film, but a watered down version of the true massacre.

Good they showed the UN's ineptitude though.

 

[mad skillz]

it's a very good film,i feel "shooting dogs" starring John hurt is the better of the two movies about Rwanda.

Noir75
I agree as being an ex Brit Army guy the way the UN works ..like the Balkans ..

 

[tigris22325]

I loved both of them.

I was incredibly moved after watching these movies. Just the thought of what those poor people went through is truly horrifying.

 

[Robotics nerd]

Really good film if slightly harrowing, excellent performances from Don Cheedle and Sphie Okenado (in particular) and worth a watch.

I don't envy you your job. You must have experienced some pretty tough situations.

Could you explain more about Noir75? I'd be interested to hear about it.

Thankyou for your posts I will definately watch this film especially as it has my favourite actor Mr Phoenix.

 

[Mythical Tales]

You're right about it being watered down, but they wouldn't be allowed to make one that showed the true horrors of the genocide.

 

[Pez]

Yeah I agree, Shooting Dogs is much better. Hotel Rwanda is hugely overrated. I found it quite boring.

 

[I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT]

"shooting dogs"
better overall ....
H.R. is too Hollywood ...

regarding the Balkens conflict ...
Hell will freeze before any squaddie will *talk * about that ..lol

I've watched this movie a long time ago, but i can still remember the eerie feeling i got watching it. Gosh, i can't imagine if that happens to me.
