hotel rwanda

The entire cohort in TA watched the movie Hotel Rwanda at school today.
Since most people know about the impact the movie has on the viewers, I'll talk more on the technical aspect of the movie. Which is not exactly. Good. Hmm.

Madame Archer. The Caucasian woman who is a Red Cross volunteer in Rwanda taking care of Tutsi orphans. Though I don't know the actress' name, she is one stiff woman. I mean, she is so expressionless whenever she is on scene. Compared to the rest of the cast that is. But the thing is, when you are faced with the probable death of all the orphans you are in charge of, the last thing you would do would be to look like a block of dead wood. Right? Right? Right.

Next. They should have proper scene transitions. No, I'm not talking about from one scene to the other, but as in, scenes which are meant to be continuous but cast in different camera angles. At some points in the movie, the scene continuity (I should say), was a little... uncontinuous. In the exact same scene, Madame Archer (yes, her again) was in two slightly different postures, when she was supposed to be as dead as a block of wood. Anyway. It could be the entire crew's fault. Why didn't they tell her?

And Don Cheadle, the lead... I kept mistaking him for Denzel Washington, though they look totally different from each other.

And we must finish two assignments by the end of the holidays. Loosely based on this movie. I can't imagine what I would come up with for those assignments. At least, not now.
