Hotel Rwanda
Instrueret af Terry GeorgeI 1994 eksploderer borgerkrigen i Rwanda. Hutu-militserne dræber næsten en million tutsier, mens FN styrkerne må se magtesløse til, for ordren fra hovedkvarteret i New York lyder ubøjeligt på at bevare freden, ikke at skabe den! Men ikke kun FN svigter. Hele den magtfulde vestlige verden vender ryggen til folkemordet. Én mand har modet til at reagere. Som bestyrer af et luksushotel åbner hutuen Paul dørene for alle desperate, mens ondskaben går amok lige udenfor. Som en afrikansk Schindler, alene mod overmagten og med livet som indsats, trygler, bestikker og truer han i alle lejre for at redde sin familie og de alt for mange flygtninge fra døden. Paul vælger ikke side mellem hutuer og tutsier. Han er ikke nogen helt – han er et menneske.
Hotel Rwanda-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- BRANDON JAMES MCCOLLOUGH21. februar 2026Hotel Rwanda is a powerful and deeply human film that captures the horror of the Rwandan genocide through an intimate, character‑driven lens. Don Cheadle delivers an extraordinary performance, grounding the story in compassion, fear, and moral courage. The film doesn’t rely on spectacle—it relies on truth, and that makes it unforgettable. A difficult but essential watch.
- mickerdoo25. august 2025Important piece of film. Shameful there wasn't more outside assistance. Especially on such a clear cut case of genocide. Hopefully we learn.
- Hakihiko16. december 2024A Heart-Wrenching Tale of Courage Amidst Chaos Hotel Rwanda is a heartbreaking and powerful portrayal of one of the darkest chapters in human history-the Rwandan Genocide. Director Terry George delivers a gut-wrenching film that captures the brutality and chaos of the genocide, yet also shines a light on the courage and resilience of those who tried to save lives amidst the horrors. Don Cheadle gives an extraordinary performance as Paul Rusesabagina, the hotel manager who becomes an unlikely hero by sheltering over 1,200 Tutsi refugees in the Hôtel des Mille Collines. Cheadle's portrayal is deeply moving, balancing fear, desperation, and an unwavering sense of duty. His nuanced performance gives the film its emotional core, making the audience feel every ounce of his character's anguish and bravery. The script is equally compelling. It masterfully builds suspense, capturing the rising tension as the outside world turns a blind eye to the slaughter, leaving Rusesabagina and those he protects in an increasingly perilous situation. The screenplay deftly blends personal drama with the broader political landscape, showing how an ordinary man is pushed into extraordinary circumstances. The way it slowly unravels the impending genocide creates a feeling of dread that is both heart-stopping and heartbreaking. The film doesn't shy away from the brutality of the conflict, presenting gut-wrenching scenes of violence and fear that are difficult to watch, yet necessary to convey the sheer horror of what took place. These scenes are powerful and unflinching, but never gratuitous-serving as a reminder of the human cost of hatred and indifference. While the movie can be hard to watch due to its raw portrayal of real-life atrocities, its message of hope and humanity amidst chaos shines through. The supporting cast, including Sophie Okonedo and Joaquin Phoenix, also add depth and weight to the narrative, making this film a well-rounded, emotionally charged experience. Overall, Hotel Rwanda is a suspenseful, heartbreaking, and incredibly important film. Its brutal story is difficult to process, but its powerful message about the human capacity for both evil and good lingers long after the credits roll. This is a movie that stays with you, earning a solid 8/10 for its impactful storytelling, extraordinary performances, and unflinching honesty.
- Elliot04724. januar 2026This is sad. It is sad to see that for the West, their problem are the world's problems, but other people's problems are their own. So many films I have seen on a certain war, but this is the first film I have ever seen on a genocide that has happened outside of that narrative.
- Julie Jones12. januar 2026This movie is an unbelievable movie, one that shows the cruelty of human nature, the corruption that exists in the world, but most importantly one that shows the determination and courage of one man who was willing to sacrifice his life for his family and 1200 fleeing Rwandan people. Based on real life events this is definitely the movie Not one to miss!
