<h3>Fun Stuff</h3>
<div class="info">
<h5>Trivia:</h5>
<a href="/name/nm0000560/">Nick Nolte</a>'s character (Col. Oliver) is modeled in part on Lt. Gen. <a href="/name/nm1714819/">Roméo Dallaire</a>, the Canadian commanding officer of the UN Peacekeeping mission in that country who attempted to interfere with the Rwandan Genocide despite his superiors' indifference to the atrocity. Dallaire was also the subject of Sundance audience award documentary <a href="/title/tt0424435/">Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire</a> (2004), and witnessed such horrible acts in Rwanda that he later suffered severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Despite these facts, this is the only fictional character (name and facts) depicted in the film.

<h5>Goofs:</h5>
Anachronisms: During the opening scene in the film, a sign for MTN Mobile can be seen. MTN is a South African communications company and although it is the main mobile provider in Rwanda now, it was not in 1994.

<b>Shaming and compelling</b>, 19 December 2004<br>

Anything I say in this review is probably redundant, because there
isn't a single negative review in all the comments so far here, and I
agree wholeheartedly with what has been said by other reviewers.<br><br>Nevertheless Hotel Rwanda is that rare kind of movie experience that
doesn't easily relinquish its hold on the audience just because the
credits have rolled. Watching with a friend, after ten minutes we had
to pause the film because we decided we would be better served if we
were more informed about what the basic facts of the conflict in Rwanda
were. So to my shame, we had to read on the internet about what really
happened, before we could continue. I say shame because we should have
known, both of us were of an age when it happened to have taken more of
an interest in world politics.<br><br>The film is beautifully understated, eschewing sentimentality in favour
of raw emotion and letting the story tell itself. The acting was
flawless - Don Cheadle's breathtaking performance being a particular
standout - and the direction didn't falter, despite all the potential
pitfalls of dramatising a recent and horrific conflict. The scenes
which were hardest to watch in terms of tension and violence were often
suffused with humour and hope.<br><br>It's difficult sometimes to separate the significance of the true
story, from the artistry of the product, and often I get impatient with
'worthy' movies scoring big at Oscar time because it seems as though
important stories ought to be rewarded, whether or not they make good
films. However, I can't recall being so profoundly moved by a film
since I saw The Grey Zone, and I hope Hotel Rwanda gets all the
plaudits it deserves.
