Superlative movie about how Whites messed up Africa.
By creating the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups, the former colonial power sets about dividing and conquering.
Instead of turning on their oppressors, Blacks turn on each other; doing the racists job for them. The resulting genocide is exacerbated by the refusal of the West to intervene - in a situation it largely created - because the victims are not White.
A movie that openly confronts the political distinction between appearance and essence that does not exist in ethics.
A Black learns the lesson that Whites still think his skin makes him expendable; making this a commercial film unusually pleading against racial integration, since Whites do not really believe in any such thing. (A marriage can never work if only one side of the partnership makes the necessary effort.)
Well played by all concerned and proof that a serious political movie can be made that is also an entertaining thriller.
