Anyone going to this one? My newspaper gave it excellent reviews. I guess it's only out in limited release right now. Glad to see Don Cheadle getting some great reviews on his excellent acting skills. I have always liked him.

It opened here too.....I just have to find time to go by myself, of find someone who would actually want to go with me out here. I like matinees, as the theatre is pretty empty. I haven't seen my work schedule for the week, but when I go, I'l let you know what I think.

This movie has gotten excellent reviews. It will be a very difficult movie to watch, I don't know if I will watch it. I know the story and ...

No. Foxx is better. But it's a better film overall than Ray was.

I should have said "I feel it's a better film overall" and all those IMHO things too.

I agree with you on both counts, Tish. I'm still on the Foxx bandwagon, but Cheadle was fantastic.

AMAZING movie, and while I love Jamie, IMO Don should win Best Actor, hands down. He is such an underrated actor, along with Morgan Freeman and Larenz Tate.

I love Don Cheadle!! He can play any character and works as much as Sam L Jackson who I love too.

Finally saw it. Must see. How could the United States have done NOTHING when this genocide was happening?! How can Bush continue to do NOTHING when essentially the same thing is happening in the Sudan? I wonder if Bush has seen the movie. Cheadle was great. To me the movie was just as great as Million Dollar. I wonder how many people have seen it in comparison.

I had it first on my Netflix list so I got it yesterday. Watched it last night...What an excellent movie. It was heartbreaking just to see how cruel human beings can be to each other. I know the movie was toned down so that more people could see what happened. What a sad, sad event...

Was the sound on the "return to Rwanda" documentary messed up on anyone's DVD? The sound mix was soooo bad on mine, but since I haven't seen anyone else complain, maybe it was just my disc.

Rented this last night and could not get through it. I think it may be the first movie that I turned off...I have even made it through Shindlers List and the Pianist. Perhaps because those issues were before my time and I could not have done anything about them.....

sillycal - that is a shame because you need to see the ending - it gives people hope and reminds us of how much one person can do to bring people together - even in the midst of the thousands that did die.

I am going to try and get through the rest tonight. I can't leave it unfinished....I guess it was just too much to watch in one sitting. I am glad to hear it has a positive note....

Silly, I hope you went back and finished it. I just watched it this morning. What an amazing story and cast! It was wonderful to see the real Paul, and so powerful to see his and his wife's return to Rwanda. Yankee, the documentary sound on the copy I rented was messed up too.

Well, I finally finished the movie today. It was just soooo heartbreaking. I had to fastfoward a lot of it, but I made it to the end finally. I enjoyed watching the special features too. My wish in life is that (soon) I will be in a position to adopt children. I had one of my own, which I never thought I would do-I have dreamed of adopting since I was a child myself. This movie only inspired me further to get my act together and soon because there are so many orphans out there who need a good place to grow up. It's funny, after watching the rest of this movie I spent the day JOYFULLY cleaning my house. I honestly had a big smile on my face all day as I swept and mopped and did the laundry. I am just so blessed and thankful for all that I have and I am ashamed for ever feeling low.....My life is a cake walk compared to most.... Anyway, thanks to your encouragement I finished the flick and I am really glad that I did!

It is amazing to me that I live my life so carefree while people/children have to go through such hardships to stay alive or just not be killed. This movie was suppposed to be hopeful, I am guessing. It just made me devastated for the way people live and how ignorant I am towards what happens in other countries.

jen, dont be devastated - be glad for what you have but also be glad for knowing what others go through because it is ONLY with more awareness that such things can eventually be stopped - and realize that even in the most dire circumstances people can fid it within them to survive and fight for others - think about Hurricane Katrina and those who never gave up clinging to the roofs or trying to save others while they very well could have just given up hope and let the water and wind overtake them - the people who survived Katrina did so because they had that same inner strength to hold on and not give up as the people who survived i Rwanda did - at least to me, as hopeless as it may seem in a situation, the lesson was to never give up.(as well as remembering what happened in rwanda so that next time we dont just say "how horrific" and turn back to eat our dinner.
