>Bardem's Before Night Falls and The Sea Inside and Don's >Hotel Rwanda and Talk to Me are better IMO.
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'd also nominate: The Pianist, The Motorcycle Diaries, The >Pursuit of Happyness, Milk, and La Vie en Rose for this >decade.
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.
