Reflection of Hotel Rwanda

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Every  second of the movie is captivating, you do not know what is going to happen next. I could not take my eyes off the screen. This movie was made to educate the world about the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Sometimes movies that tried to tell a true story are very boring but not this one.
 Don Cheadle played the main character Paul Rusesabagina who was a hotel manager  that saved thousands of people during the genocide. This actor did an excellent job portraying this character. He made every scene enjoyable to watch. He also spent time with the real life Paul Rusesabagina.
British actress Sophie Okonedo played Paul's wife Tatiana. They love each other deeply and the talented actors show this very clearly. Both Sophie Okonedo and Don Cheadle were nominated for Academy Awards. 
To capture the realism of the story, some of the movie was filmed in Kigali Rwanda where the real story took place. I think this really added to the power of the movie, knowing that the actors were in the same place as the real people.
