Couldn't have said it better myself. This is what impedes us as Malawians, always seeing negativity in things. Live and let live.

Chabwino iweyo mPalestina.Btwn you and me,who should get a life? You are so pathetic,zoona anyani akusekana zikundu eti.I know you, typcal mfirika weniweni.

Okay, this post was baout the quote, and to clarify tboz it should read :

"you are not even a Nigger, hell, you are African"

bcoz being a nigga and **** aer different things - Tboz Quote: Negro Plizzzzz ooops ooh hell you ain't even a real Nigga, Mfirika Plizz get a life.

This makes it sound like the guy is trying to be sonmething he aint - hip-hop , cool, positive, urban etc... **** is very different - it implies negative things about black people.... so like i said earlier, think about the quote - b'cuz where ever we are abroad, we are not even n*ggers, were africans- and all this bickering in this forum ... all this hate is part of the reason why quotes like that come about...

I know many things about that movie even the truth about it but that movie is fake one I have never seen before.

Black Panther · Senior Member

its still Hollywood

game · Guru

and only Hollywood profits.when the people depicted in the story are dead and some have they legs amputated,cant eat good food.exposed to diseases.

i ask myself where were they during the massacre.why couldnt they put a stop to it when they can topple saddam for only being a threat to the world.it would still be a good idea for a movie.

now they are walking on the red carpet with all the glitter and glamour at the expence of innocent souls.MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY

Have u seen that Angliena Jolie Movie, Beyond borders.. it really summarises what goes on in non-profits acuratley.. the msg in the movie is profound and though provoking... but how else will anyone, particulary Americans pay attention to what was going on unless it had a free big mac attached to it... u know ? Hollywood distorts truth about Africa , sometimes its good, but sometimes u wonder if its oding more damage then good.. like there was one scene were the guy was dancing with his wife, on top of the hotel and had made a romantic dinner... was that hollywood spekaing or a rela experience ... it seemed a little untypically african...

for hollywood to consider a movie idea it takes alot of research and expatriate critique.its beauracratic you cant understand it if you are an outsider.they can do a non profit movie and still share the loyalties.

all those movies based on true events have been spiced up to entice the viewers eye.hotel rwanda for example is just a story based on one or two eye witnesses who gave their story to script writers.who had to change the story into something captivating for their audience.

dont you think if they were only showing dead bodies it would be boring and sickening,then banned from public viewing.

wat a wierd title

Some people told me that they should have shown more violence in that movie, I was like, ' if they did no one would watch it" so i agree with u on that Game, American Audiences want to go back home and not have sleepless nights. they want to go home a feel the soft down on theri pillows and thank God its them instead of themsleves & write a check or two that they can write off on their taxes. This is why i liked the movie b/c it brought to light event s that would otherwise have been forgotten by the world - also it had a black hero - to show the audience that its not alays the great white savior, there are planty of africans that are helping out theri fellow men and women in all the ethnic wars in africa. It put a human face to Rwandw to pple that would have otherwised not cared.

The Hotel Rwanda story [and the many Hotel Rwanda - like stories across Africa] needs to be told. I wouldn't call it "Hollywood" though as although the crew, main actor etc may be American, there was a lot of South African corporate money pumped into this project. In fact Nick Nolte's character would not have said what he said about Africans [as quoted here by Panther]. A typical Hollywood script would find those words 'politically incorrect'.

I found your thread here, Panther, deep and thought provoking. Hence responses like that from TBoz exhibit a dangerous myopia. Perhaps TBoz [and his/her like] should take a trip down to Rwanda to appreciate what the movie is trying to put across to mankind - now living and yet to live - on this our Mother Earth. I have been to Rwanda. It makes you angry that the world stood by as the insane butchery went on.

And to have the 'masters of the universe' debating [AGAIN] whether what's happening in Darfur is a 'Genocide' or not when innocent people are dying ten fold score by the day makes me wish I was able to take on the 'masters' alone !

Thinking aloud as to whether there should have been more violence in the movie: I guess the director was trying to capture a younger audience as well who would have been missed out if there was more violence and hence a higher age restriction.

To the extent that Hotel Rwanda is based on the Hotel Manager at Mille Collines and his 'heroics' there, the movie has done justice to HIS story and, to a certain extent, the wider Rwanda story.

on that note they do have wack and crap stories for movies,some of them dont even make sense at all.if they go to malawi and take for instance John chilembwe's story dont you think it can make a good idea for a hollywood movie.

when i saw the Ray charles movie it only reminded me of the great Alan namoko whose live performance in finland generated alot of ticket sales than the beatles when they performed at the same venue.
