This movie is awsome. It\'s so damn powerful, my eyes watered like every ten minutes.
The guy whom the movie is about was here in Dallas during a premiere. So many people cried when they shook his hands.
Damn UN during that time!! DAMN IT!!
It was sad to learn that not even the US helped out those people during such a terrible genocide.
This movie rocks!

Wifey watches Oprah and she has been howling about this movie for over a month now.

Im ashamed to say I know next to nothing about the Rwandan genocide, so this movie should be interesting.

The Clinton administration thoroughly f**cked up by ignoring the situation in Rwanda in 1994. These are the kinds of crises where the US should intervene on humanitarian grounds. We would not have been "damed if we did." We could have saved most of the 800,000 who were murdered. We ignored it because we were afraid of the loss of american soldiers like in Somalia.
It was a very good film. Don Cheadle seemed like a completely different person from his other roles in the past. He was really great, and probably deserves the best actor award for this one.

I know, I\'m just messing around with Mistiq. Nothing the US ever seems to work for him.

My father saw this and told me id love it. I have yet to see it but hopefully my theater will keep it for a while. Maybe ill try to get my buddies to get me in one day when i go. The trailers look interesting but im sure they dont touch on the strength of this film.

The difference between Liberals and Conservatives in a nutshell! :laughing:
-
That is right... liberals would rather waste time, money and lives on things that don\'t effect this country rather than dedicate time, money and lives to prevent and stop things from happening to this country.

If you consider saving human lives a waste of time and money, there\'s not much more I can say to you about it. Thankfully that view is not shared by others of our species.

do you mean liberals spent more time on defense while conservatership spent more time on offense?

The Clinton administration should have intervened. Clinton was a wuss when it came to using the military and when he did, something happened. Somalia never should have happened if the troops got the support needed from Clinton.

Halleluja brother.
Of course its just liberals that like to spend money on outside contries and not here :rolleyes:. Thats why its not just the liberals giving money to the tsunami families etc. despite the fact that they arent the most thankful people in the world. Im not saying its a bad cause, but saying that only liberals spend cash on foreign affairs that dont have too much of anything to do with the US is stupid.
Though i must say, some of the money spent on domestic affairs arent all necissarily spent correctly but its not worth getting into in this thread.
Anyway, im sure the movie is at least decent.

It\'s a really awsome movie. It\'s so dramatic and powerful I wish I could of done something to help those people.

Just like Bush intervened in Darfur?
We westerners don\'t like to intervene unless our people are involved, or money is to be earned. Or both.

This coming from a boy who claimed The Lion King to be his favorite movie only 18 months ago.

I don\'t see what the big deal is, Africa could use a few million less people. Besides, they breed like ants over there anyway....And they are destroying endangered species by overpopulating. I say let \'em waste each other. I\'d prefer to have gorillas on this planet than future aids carriers....
[/insensitive bastard mode]
just goofin\', sometimes I like to say the most inappropriate things just to say them. I honestly don\'t feel that way.
