It's late and I'm tired, so I'll keep this one short and sweet.
Hotel Rwanda is effectually a modern-day (assuming 15 years old is modern) Schindler's List. Two ethnic groups, one trying to exterminate the other for no good reason at all. Sounds familiar.
However, I am sensitive to the fact that this is a true story and it is very well performed. Don Cheadle's portrayal of a simple, good-hearted hotel manager is impeccable, and the movie is very artfully presented as a whole. And who doesn't love Nick Nolte?
While some might consider the subject dismal, Hotel Rwanda is a vivid portrayal of an oh-too-recent terror.
If you like Nick Nolte and want to see him in an under-appreciated film where he was just emerging as a leading actor, see "Who'll Stop the Rain". Lookin' forward to your posting about it. See ya later today.
