005 - Hotel Rwanda & Hotel Mumbai What To Watch

    • Críticas de cine

This week, on a sombre note, we discuss movies about a population of people reeling from the atrocities of manslaughter. In Hotel Rwanda, we see the astounding grit of Paul Rusesabagina played by an in-form Don Cheadle as he battles with complexities of identity and displays compassion to help his fellow brethren by offering them shelter at the Hôtel des Mille Collines. In Hotel Mumbai, we see how an incredible team of hospitaly staff at the famed Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai strive to ward of a foreign terrorist attack by sacrificing their own lives for the sake of the guests of the Hotel. How successful each film is in effectively portraying a moving snapshot of the times varies greatly between the philosophies of their respective directors.

Where to Watch:
Hotel Rwanda (Amazon Prime or Hulu with the Starz Add-on)
Hotel Mumbai (Amazon Prime, USA)
