beautiful film.
This movie was unbelievable. One of the best movies to come out in years. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. It is definitely not advertised enough and not playing in nearly enough theatres!
Phenominal film that people should see. I felt anger and shame that outside countries ignored what was happening. Superb actors and script. Why 20% of people voted this below 2 stars is beyond me.
BREATHTAKING
Great characters. Good acting. An unfortunate historical event that gives this movie a good story. Although the movie was violent, it was not as gory as I thought it was going to be, thankfully. I would see it again a year from now and still enjoy it.
A very moving film... personally I am now going to read General Dallaire`s book "Shake hands with the Devil" which is about his experience in Rwanda as the head of the UN peace-keeping force (Nolte`s character in the movie). It reminds me of something i heard once: "The opposite of love isn`t hate. It is indifference.". And I think to some extent we are guilty of that.
all I can say is WOW!! this movie was beyond powerful...I am speechless
This was a difficult movie to watch, but it is probably the most moving film I have ever seen. It certainly made me appreciate what a wonderful life we have here in the west. It also made me aware of just how quickly and easily civilization can slip away if we`re not careful to keep the ugly side of humanity in check.
Everyone should see this movie.
This was very difficult to watch, in the same way that Schindler`s List and the Pianist were difficult. What was done to these people should never have been allowed to happen, yet it continues to happen today in Chad, in the Congo, in Burundi, and most notably in Sudan, and still nothing is done to help. The UN still does not have the balls to call this what it is, GENOCIDE! If this was not a genocide, just what else had to happen to these people to constitute being labeled a genocide? What other unspeakable acts? It is fine to make this movie, and it`s very well done, but if nothing changes for the people of these African nations it is just
