Hotel Rwanda
I loved this movie. Based on facts, this movie is a gripping narrative of Paul Russesabagina, a soft-spoken hotel manager (for a Belgian owned international hotel) and his family. Even more, it is a tale of how a little compassion and bravery goes a long way in times of strife. The movie is quite graphic in its depiction of genocide (or the more poignant phrase "acts of genocide"). If nothing else, it provides the western world with a face to associate with the millions of africans being slaughtered in regular ethnic and political wars.
Don Cheadle (Ocean's Eleven, Twelve) is great in his role. So is Nick Nolte as the good-hearted UN colonel. It gives a very human look at the many hours of BBC news that I've watched over the years and footage of the african unrest and the resulting massacres.
It's a great movie. A must-watch.
Rating: 5/5

How I wish all these movies came to India.... But I am sure these are too small even for the multiplexes :(
No, this is a fairly big budget... big production. Nominated for golden globes and all... so it should certainly come to India.
..I would be pleasantly surprised if it did play in B'lore!
