I think it is very difficult to bias between intellectual and emotional conflicts in these kind of movies, as there are few that success to do so, and this is one of those few movies! Details are so real and that alone makes this movie a Must see one. Extremely correct, with fascinating details, like the black soldier at the first UN military conference who is almost sleep while General Dallaire speaks; or the children who attack U.N vehicles. I don't have information about Rwanda and its holocaust and it is always difficult to make a correct decision when everything is in a chaos (if there is a right decision at all), and the honesty and showing all the views without taking sides is one of the advantages of this movie . The dialogs can't be made up unless they are experienced, like when General Dallaire cut himself and says he wasn't trying to kill himself just to reduce the pain, it is an experience it can not be imagined but the actor "Roy Dupuis" must have an incredible imagination to carry on such an excellent performance. Also the camera has captured some unique pictures of the beauty nature, and the way characters view it. Also the music is perfectly chosen from the African culture to explain the hope and despair. Thee is always a price to pay for watching these kind of movies but if everyone pay this price maybe there will be a time that these horrible things is impossible to take place. (This is incredibly optimistic, I know!) I have to confess I nearly killed myself to watch this movie thoroughly and understand it, subtitles were dreadful; I made myself to recall French words I haven't heard more than 16 years; but I can assure you it worth it. Thank you.
