I finally got to see this movie today, and my life has been forever changed. The sheer power, both of good and evil that echoes throughout is something I will never forget. The underlying anger against the Western world as well as the complete and utter heroism of the main character, Paul, is something that I think must be talked about, not just in terms of film, but in terms of humanity.
For far too long, society has found ways to turn blind eyes where things must be seen. Genocide all over Africa, mass murder in South America, poverty all across the world, the environment itself, all of these things have been cast aside because they aren't "sexy" enough to be talked about, but this must end.
Has anyone else seen this film, and if so, what was your reaction?
As good as Jamie Foxx was in "Ray", Don Cheadle was better, in my honest opinion and Hotel Rwanda, while perhaps not a technical masterpiece IS one of the most important films to have come out in a long, long time.
If you haven't, I strongly urge you to do so because while it tells a terrible, grim story, it also shows what a real, true, actual hero is and we need more of them in this world.
Take care all.
