The general introduction of ‘Hotel Rwanda’

Hotel Rwanda is a 2004 American drama film directed by Terry George. It was adapted from a screenplay written by both George and Keir Pearson. Based on real life events in 1994 Rwanda, the film stars Don Cheadle as hotelier Paul Rusesabagina, who attempts to save his fellow citizens from the ravages of the Rwandan Genocide. Veteran actors Joaquin Phoenix, Nick Nolte and Jean Reno also star in principal roles. The film, which has been called an African Schindler's List, documents Rusesabagina's acts to save the lives of his family and more than a thousand other refugees, by granting them shelter in the besieged Hôtel des Mille Collines. Hotel Rwanda explores genocide, political corruption, and the repercussions of violence.

Based upon the 1994 Rwandan conflict, Paul, a hotel manager who knows the benefits of keeping his friends close and his enemies even closer, is forced to fight for the lives of his family as well as countless refugees as a Rwandan dictator assassinates the Rwandan President overthrowing a peace agreement, leading to the massacring of over a million Tutsi civilians.

Set in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, during the genocide of April and May 1994 Hotel Rwanda is a sensitively made film.

BLU-RAY REVIEW

Video: 2.35:1 Widescreen in 1080p HD with AVC codec.  This flick was well shot and looked very real, a little too real at times.

Audio: 5.1 DTS-HD in English, French and Spanish with the same subtitle options.  The score was up and down but sure did build some mean tension.

Commentary (2:01:51): Director Terry George, the real Paul Rusesabagina with some select input from musician Wyclef Jean give an exceptional commentary mainly due to the fact that Paul was there and knows exactly how everything went down.  Don Cheadle also weighs in  for a select few scenes.
