This is an incredibly emotional movie.

This was an intense, life-changing drama. It made me aware of the importance of good leaders and good policies. This civil war was set up by imperialists from another country who created inequality. Every country needs good statesmen, and this was an excellent, but graphic example. I highly recommend it for adults and most teens. Definitely have some discussion after watching it.

The message of the movie is that even in in the most horrible and uncontrolled environment, a man can choose to live decently and honorably if he so chooses. The protagonist is an absolute inspiration.

Wow. This was one of the best movies ive seen. Amazing plot and Acting. The movie offers lots of different emotions. It talks about a genocide so its very violent and very sad but its awsome how this movie was entertaining as it was educational. Watch this movie, its a no brainer.

This movie show how deep the human heart is when it comes to helping others and walking in Love, no matter what the cost.

This movie is very powerful. It really makes you think about the genocide in Africa! This is a good movie. Parents it is violent due to the fact that it is all about genocide. I would recomend that parents should check it out and decide if their children can watch it. ALL IN ALL IT IS A VERY POWERFUL MOVIE!

Suspensful and Freaky but good

‘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. ****

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rented this thinking it would just be another action packed movie with no story line but it turned out to be one of the best best movies I've ever seen. It was kind of scary because innocent people were dying and nobody was doing anything about it. It is kind of sad and it there are some very suspenseful parts. I think if kids can handle the violence and the laguage then they should be able to watch this. 10 and up
