Title: Were is the genocide?
Review: I was very disappointed by Hotel Rwanda. It is completely inaccurate in the locations and in the manner it depicts the actors of the genocide. Furthermore big Hollywood strings were used to bring out the tears of the spectators using the same scenes as in The Pianist or Schindler's List.All the massacres happen in the background of the movie, no main character becomes a victim of the genocide. This somehow distances the spectator from what really happened.This is the story of one good man in the middle of hell, a Schindler's list Rwanda-style. I would have liked a movie telling the story about hell first, like Sometimes in April from Raoul Peck, to give the full perspective and not to focus only on an individual.
