Rwanda wasn't a biopic of Rusesabagina's(sp?) life.

It was about a single conflict. Not really the same.

And I can't honestly say its *better* than GRODT. Cheadler
was magnificent, but just because its about something that
caring people like doesn't mean its actually a better movie.

Before Night Falls was not better.

I'll give you Motorcycle Diaries(maybe).

Pursuit of Happyness wasn't really a biopic, because
it didn't cover much ground. It was about a single
conflict, really. It wasn't really better than GRODT,
really. Will Smith was phenomenal, and it had great
scenes, but front to back it wasn't better.

Just because it had the mushy factor don't make it
better.

Again - GRODT public perception is crafted by the fact
that people don't like 50 Cent, rather than how good
the movie was.

'Finding Neverland?'

LOL.

That was 95% fiction, doggie. AND it fucking sucked.

Most of these were NOT better, and most aren't even
biopics.

Antwoine Fisher? LOL. No.

Eric Brokovich? Meh. Maybe as good. Certainly not
better.

Lamumba? 4 people saw it. And just because its about
a revolutionary leader don't mean its better.
