	The Shining (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The family is introduced to the caretaker's quarters, the hotel's hedge maze, and the snowcat.
		In a nod to the underlying subtext of the film, Jack refers to the "white man's burden", addressing the fact that the Overlook was built on a tribal burial ground.
		The opening panorama shots (which were used by Ridley Scott for the closing moments of the film Blade Runner) and all scenes of the Volkswagen Beetle on the road to the hotel were filmed in Glacier National Park in Montana.

	Hotel Rwanda - Film Review
		The statement in the film: “lots of foreign press are arriving for the peace signing…” is not accurate.
		It is at this point that the film digresses from the truth and very offensively depicts the UN failure to intervene and stop the genocide as racially motivated.
		The film does not expand on this extraordinary influence of the French government with the architects of the genocide but as “Holocaust in Rwanda” documents the French sent in an expeditionary force of paratroopers when the Tutsi resistance movement turned the tide and began to defeat the Hutu government.

	Hotel Rwanda film review
		Films in this genre trade on this never-ending presence of death on a whim, a sort of Caligula-Effect.
		As the situation worsens and Tutsis are being killed on sight, the hotel becomes a haven or ark for the displaced.
		The film underlines his shock at being left behind as all the pasty skinned tourists and religious helpers (yes, I admit, the clergy are looking after the disadvantaged) are thrown out, some reluctantly and some with great relief.

	OFFOFFOFF film review HOTEL RWANDA movie by Terry George with Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The first artistic choice by the makers of "Hotel Rwanda" was the shrewdest, if not the bravest: selecting a story that is immersed in the horror of the event, yet also is a tension-filled tale of heroic triumph.
		One of the stronger features of the film is its method of portraying the hellish conditions on the ground, relying on a few brief, evocative scenes rather than making the film into an exercise in gruesome voyeurism (hardly required to evoke the horror of genocide).
		The architects of the film, as well as the players, made a conscious choice to stand small and be self-effacing, exercising filmmaking restraint and humility.

		When "Hotel Rwanda" premiered at Toronto 2004, some reviews criticized the film for focusing on Paul and the colonel, and making little effort to "depict" the genocide as a whole.
		His hotel is hardly functioning, the economy has broken down, the country is ruled by anarchy, but he puts on his suit and tie every morning and fakes business as usual -- even on a day he is so frightened, he cannot tie his tie.
		The film works not because the screen is filled with meaningless special effects, formless action and vast digital armies, but because Cheadle, Nolte and the filmmakers are interested in how two men choose to function in an impossible situation.

	BBC - Movies - review - Hotel Rwanda
		Hotel Rwanda, the first mainstream film to approach the subject, tells the story of hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina, (Don Cheadle) who sheltered more than 1,200 people during the chaos.
		The downside is that Hotel Rwanda feels uncomfortably fictional, from the symbolic thunderstorms that precede the violence to the neatly climactic and mawkish ending.
		Hotel Rwanda is released in UK cinemas on Friday 25th February in the West End, 4th March nationwide.

	Hotel Locarno
		It is perhaps the most invited film at festivals of the end of this season: In a few days it will be viewed at Taormina (in the “new film” category), then at Locarno, Montreal and Tehran.
		The small hotel accommodates a collection of samples of humanity rich of shatters, intellectual groups, small speculators, solitary women, journalists and writers of passage, actors and directors.
		"Hotel Locarno" is the tender and moral story, not moralistic, of events of a hotel situated in the center of Rome.

	NASVF NetNews - Hotel, Film Industries Lose Hawaii Tax Breaks
		Film industry representatives yesterday were puzzled by a lack of action on a proposal to raise the 4 percent production tax credit to 15 percent on O'ahu and 20 percent on the Neighbor Islands.
		At the same time, the film and television industry spent $161 million in the state — including at least $100 million on TV shows — and at its peak employed 700 actors, directors, camera operators and other industry workers.
		Hotel industry officials have said the credit would help preserve Hawai'i's hotel room inventory by providing financial incentives to renovate and build rooms rather than convert them to time-shares or condominiums.

		Hotel is an erotically charged masterpiece of the experimental genre, and Figgis reaches his goals almost flawlessly.

	Hotel Rwanda movie review, In Film Australia
		Don Cheadle is exceptionally convincing as protagonist Paul Rusesabagina in Hotel Rwanda, the true story of a hotel manager-turned-war-hero who sheltered more than 1200 refugees from the furore of Rwanda’s ghastly militia crisis in the 1990’s.
		The title and pitch of Hotel Rwanda brings to mind visions of a melodramatic weepie, but the film is bold, realistic and carefully judged, marrying its head and its heart in captivating unison.
		Mostly however Hotel Rwanda is a work of understatement, a discipline best eclipsed in its closing images which, furnished with a gentle sense of optimism, are bereft of any sense of embellishment or overkill.

	Hotel Rwanda (2004): Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The film emphasizes the racist framework for the genocide by showing white hotel guests being evacuated (some with their dogs in tow), as the Rwandans hover in the rain behind, knowing their fates.
		Hotel Rwanda is an ambitious film in its way, particularly as it appeals to a wide (PG-13) audience, exposing this repressed history by not showing too much.
		Back at the hotel, Paul begins to change his shirt, only to rip it off in a very intense, very private display of agony, makes clear the severe toll taken by what we don't see.

		The hero is a hotel manager named Paul Rusesabagina (played by Oscar-nominee Don Cheadle), a starched, politically polite businessman who turned a luxurious Belgian-owned hotel into a refuge for more than a thousand vulnerable Tutsis hiding from their bloodthirsty Hutu countrymen.
		Hotel Rwanda is a potent, moving depiction of an atrocity that only a decade ago went ignored by most of the world in both power corridors and private homes.
		In her book, Power writes that the first American films after the Second World War didn’t mention the Holocaust at all, but were, instead, typical combat movies set on the front lines, or the domestic front when soldiers returned home.

		What we're seeing is a film around that film, part "making of", part Malfi - there are large chunks of the play in the script - and part other odd subplots, which rarely add anything to the inchoate proceedings.
		Unlike Timecode, the film is a stylistic jumble.
		Patrick Stewart, the cinematographer, stands holding the rig to the camera and explaining that "with this, you are the crew", forgetting the small army of assistants, locations people, grips, gaffers, boom ops, assistant directors, who are in plain view in the documentary.

	Hotel Rwanda Review - FilmFocus.Co.UK
		It's a film aimed squarely at the West, at Americans and Europeans who may have heard something about genocide in Africa, but who were either never presented with the full horror of the situation or simply didn't think much about it.
		George's film is at its worst when he allows it to devolve into a Politics or Sociology lecture; Phoenix's character, for example, seems to exist solely for the purpose of asking naïve questions about the socio-political history of Rwanda, and how fortunate we were there to pick up all that useful information.
		The film has been compared to Schindler's List, chiefly because of the similar portrayal of a privileged man driven to unexpected heroism, and if George had the directorial chops of a Steven Spielberg, Hotel Rwanda might be on the same level.

	Markham's Behavioral Health: Hotel Rwanda, the film
		Hotel Rwanda is a British film distributed in 2004 which tells the story of the massacre of 1 million Tutsis by Hutus in Rwanda in 1994.
		It tells the true story of a Hutu hotel manager, Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), who saved over 1200 Tutsis, including his own wife and children, by harboring them in the Belgian four star hotel in which he was assistant manager.
		This is a very moving film which makes me wonder about the tremendous hatred which human beings can harbor which leads to genocide of this proportion.

	Rare FM - Film - DVD Reviews - Hotel Rwanda
		Why this film did not sweep the board at the Oscars is beyond me. It is without a doubt the most powerful and thought provoking film I have seen in a very long time.
		What made the most impact on me with this film was not so much the story, although that was gripping and heart wrenching, but was instead the realisation I had that we (the western world) stood back and did nothing while this was going on.
		I think that this is a film that everybody should see, to understand both the wider issues around the events in 1994 and the personal level of the loss and fright that so many people suffered, which the film explores beautifully.

	Cannibals in Venice and Other Unanswered Questions; Mike Figgis' "Hotel"
		Meanwhile, it becomes apparent that the hotel is a hotspot for cannibals, who prey on its guests.
		"Hotel" occasionally duplicates this look, but it uses split screens in a less schematic fashion, sometimes filling up 2/3rds of the frame or setting two side by side in the center.
		For all their visual flights of fancy, films like "Chung King Express" and "Fallen Angels" are grounded firmly in the experience of contemporary urban life, with its anonymity, speed and potential for chance encounters.

		Paul is a very good hotel manager and uses his skills of bribery, flattery and deception to save the lives of 1200 Tutsis who take refuge in the hotel — watching Paul finesse the Hutu generals is riveting.
		It is a moving film depicting a period in history that the world should be ashamed off.
