"Man is born to trouble as sparks fly upwards" - Walker Percy

Someone in the Girls' Night Out Club organized meeting to see the movie "Hotel Rwanda" tonight. I was determined to go.

What a movie! If I hadn't read about the genocide in Rwanda, I would have thought the film was exaggerating. In fact, they sheltered the viewer a great deal, but still was very powerful. Don Cheadle is a gifted actor, and the story is based on the amazing true story of how a Hutu man, who shelters over a thousand Tutsis who would otherwise have been murdered. (It is also the story of how the Western world ignored the slaughter of 800,000 human beings.)

The only thing I didn't like about the film was Nick Nolte's portrayal of the Canadian Romeo D'Allaire-like general, though. Bad acting, stupid, helpless, ineffectual character. But he's a relatively small part of the movie.

That's all for now!
