Hotel Rwanda

Critique: Hotel Rwanda

The film, “Hotel Rwanda” was directed by Terry George. It is a docudrama about the Rwandan Genocide. This movie is about true events that occurred in Africa. The cinematography of this movie is bold and precise. In one scene, the protagonist was in a car with another character and driving over corpses of the Tutsi minorities. The camera shots made the image vivid and excruciatingly exact. The camera shot of the dead bodies on the ground were graphic. Another scene is when the protagonist Paul is standing alongside the refugees he saved, amidst in rain. The camera shot in this scene was direct, clear and distinct to the eye.
In this movie, there was violence, profanity, disturbing images, and nature themes. The camera shots that harnessed these scenes were all good. This movie was basically nothing short of spectacular. Everything director Terry George has done wasn't in vain. I personally enjoyed this film. It informed the audience of a genocidal event that occurred in Africa in which at the time Americans were mostly unaware of Rwanda's civil war. Lastly George created a good movie that could have been exceptional.
