stelfox said:i don't see how you can say that. the whole reason for the conflict was really well explained with background in incredibly simple terms right from the get-go.
the tutsi rebels didn't take over at the end, they simply secured one small area to get people out of the country safely via tanzania. the hutus still had control of the rest of rwanda. what were the stereotypes? do genocidal maniacs have a good side that just wasn't adequately explored and portrayed here?
in any case, i thought don cheadle was extraordinarily good and that was the main reason for recommending it.
yeah well if you get your facts from Hollywood films then don't be surprised when you end up confused. The Hotel Rwanda guy himself is now in jail as he's become a regime enemy https://www.theguardian.com/books/2...w-the-disturbing-death-of-a-rwandan-dissidentsorry, i just read my post again and it sounded horribly sarcastic.
yeah, thing was that those guys were the people who were there... it's a true story, the guy who it's based on has quite a hand in the telling and, sure, it would have been made slightly more screen-friendly, but i thought it worked really well.
