Some Useless Movie Tidbits

Have you seen the film Hotel Rwanda? Don Cheadle is great as hotelier Paul Rusesabagina, a man who opened up his hotel to refugees during the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Currently I'm reading an article about the progress of reconciliation in Rwanda, fifteen years removed from the nightmare, and it's rather startling. Rwanda is currently one of the safest African nations, competent traffic police enforce traffic laws, cell-phones work almost everywhere in the small nation, and the population has jumped twenty-five percent to about ten-million. Plastic bags are forbidden in an attempt to keep litter down and protect the environment. Many of the perpetrators of the genocide have been released from prison and are living among their victims at almost all levels of society. The survivors aren't always happy, of course, but they realize that the Hutus and Tutsis must learn to coexist. The writer said the strange feeling for him (he first visited in early 1995 and again in 1996) was that the area feels simply normal, and that itself is extraordinary.

Another movie related topic: for anyone who has seen What About Bob?...doesn't it seem like they could use the exact same script--changing no dialogue--but film an incredibly creepy film about a psychopath attaching himself to the unwitting family of some jerk shrink? Some dialogue might need to be changed, but probably not too much...
