AVIRA RWANDA

 The film tells the story of a local conflict between two peoples, one of which is the Hutu, the ethnic majority, committed a real genocide to the Tutsi people, mercilessly massacring more than a million people. Thanks to the manager of the central hotel for foreigners, Paul, who sheltered the unfortunate and doomed fleeing from certain death at the Thousand Hills Hotel, almost thousands of innocents managed to escape. Symbolical, isn't it? No matter what tricks Paul went to - the father of two children and a beautiful wife who belonged to a people who suddenly became outlawed - how many times he was close to death, how many suffered from those minutes when he felt helpless, and all this coupled with the constant fear for the life of not only his family, but also hundreds of persecuted and persecuted former neighbors, friends and even complete strangers to him. Not everyone can do that.

It is worthy of endless admiration that, unlike others, he categorically did not tarnish his conscience in this hell, devotedly protecting frightened fathers, children and mothers in a small hotel, which bloodthirsty rebels of the Hutu people tried to capture more than once throughout the film, in order to catch and destroy the Tutsis arriving in it. Paul went to all sorts of tricks, showed cunning and ingenuity, sometimes acted spontaneously and decisively, while arriving in deep shock from what was happening. It seemed that all these titanic forces were a gift from above. There is something biblical in this story, something from the story of the same Moses, who was able to lead his people out of this hell, giving them life and freedom. And by God, Don Cheadle played the role of his whole life here, plunging into the image of a desperate, but incredibly brave man who took responsibility for the life of a people in trouble. And quite rightly received various prestigious nominations, including the 'Oscar'. However, like his on-screen partner Sophie Okonedo, who played Paul's wife very touchingly and emotionally.

And in general, there are no complaints about acting roles. Even the extras did an excellent job with their small, but very important images - from time to time the camera stopped on their faces for a split second, capturing deep sorrow, horror and despair. Also, in small roles you can see Joaquin Phoenix, who played the journalist, Jean Reno, who portrayed the AVIRA RWANDA  owner of a Rwandan hotel, and already in a slightly more significant role as Nick Nolte, who tried on the image of the commander of the UN peacekeeping force, Colonel Oliver. But, of course, the main focus here is on Don Chidle. It is he who drags the picture on his shoulders, like his character from the film, dragging his relatives and unfortunate Tutsis through a real hell. The tape was filmed based on real events, and despite the whole nightmare that happens on the screen, you are already slowly getting used to this. This is undoubtedly terrible. These events took place in the relatively distant 1994, and since then we have managed to witness a dozen such local conflicts. The news is literally full of regular massacres in hot spots, and as soon as one of them goes out a little, the other immediately lights up. It seems that the bloodshed has no end or edge.

But in addition to a very deeply built drama, quite a stable dynamics can also be seen in the tape. The action is constantly striving for new turns of events, not allowing either the audience or the heroes of the picture to catch their breath. Every minute threatens to be the last. It is worth turning away for a moment, and the truce achieved with such difficulty collapses like a house of cards. Such a fragile house is the Thousand Hills Hotel, which before the bloody events was one of the safest places for American and European tourists. It suddenly turns into a haven for the doomed, located in the midst of a blazing hell. There are also such popular topics as racism in the picture. Nolte's hero, Colonel Oliver, directly states to Cheadle's character, Paul, that he is a third-rate man for the superpowers - 'You're not even a nigga, Paul, you're just African. You are considered rubbish, nonentities. ' And this all happens in the context of refusal to help in difficult times from those for whom Paul so hoped, honestly working for them for many years. True, then help from them followed, which became one of the opportunities to stretch out time for salvation on a difficult path from endless obstacles.
