Hotel Rwanda (PG-13, 2004)

Hotel Rwanda is a stark and moving portrait of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. It is an excellently made movie, but can be rough for even adults to watch at some points. That said, the positive messages of hope, sacrifice, and love make it a must-see movie for teens and their parents. Violence consists of almost constant brutal, but not extremely graphic, massacres of innocents, plus verbal descriptions of the murders of children. Language is compromised of one f word, plus several milder profanities. There is no actual sex, but we briefly see several nude Tutsi women who are being held as sex objects for Hutu men. There Is lots of drinking and use of bribery with beer.

This is an incredibly emotional movie.

Really good but kinda violent but hey u know i watched schindelers lisr!

Yes i know this is a controversial movie yes it was rated "R" originally. but the violence is not that big a problem. (probobly rated R originally because of brief sort of blurred decapitation) none of the violence is graphic persee (still blood but no gore) The f word is used once and some other mild swearing (S--- D--- N----r He-- and intense emotional sitituations best movie of 2004!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘Hotel Rwanda’ is a truly moving story of one individual and his fight for survival. Whilst overcoming countless problems and obstacles he tries to keep his family, friends and complete strangers intact and safe from the malicious Hutu army. With nothing but courage, bravery and the sheer hope to succeed, Paul Rusesabagina ducks and dives out of certain death playing his enemies against one another. With award winning performances from Don Cheadle and a superbly clever script, this really is a film worthy of your recognition. ‘‘They’ll say that’s horrible . . . then go on eating their dinner.’’ This is the most famous and meaningful line of the film and sums up the ignorance and cold heartedness of western world. The film shows how horrific this tragedy was without turning itself into a blood-fest and with competing Hollywood blockbusters, it’s quite hard to produce a good, well rated, movie without blood and guts everywhere. What is more effective about this film is the not what the viewer does see, but what they don’t see, just trying to imagine what actually took place can send a viewer running to the toilet with their hands over their mouth. Despite the tragedy and story behind this film, the film itself is one of the best world cinema films ever made and I even go as far as to say as one of the most moving stories ever to be made. ****

Suspensful and Freaky but good
