See more spencer p @s_plewe Aug 12, 2018 Its calm approach to the horrors of the reality make this a more accessible introduction to those first learning of it, and through its non-linear vignettes, some of which are overly dialogue-driven, a powerful connection of humanity blossoms.

The movie is based on survivor stories. See more walter m @Harlequin68 Jan 24, 2014 You can't hate a movie like "Kinyarwanda" that is so well-meaning and hopeful about the future of Rwanda. However, I really can't like a movie like this, either, that does not credibly reflect the complicated reality on the ground, instead just wishing that there will be a 'unified peace,' as one character puts it, and it will magically happen. And while I do want to believe in the best of humanity, it is hard to believe in it happening so often during one of the planet's worst moments. Just as there are brutal killings depicted here, even more often are there warm scenes of people doing the right thing, including one huge bluff to save a group of people about to be killed. And then there is the decision to go for a complicated structure of interrelated stories which is hard enough to pull off under optimal circumstances which this is not, with the best sequence being the Reeducation Camp. The best option would have been to tell a story of the Rwandan genocide through the point of view of one character, like say Jeanne(Hadidja Zaninka), whose parents are killed.
