Too much of everything
Must See Movie...
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
One of the great movies i have ever seen,,thnx d'caprio ,,i never regert anytime i spent watching any movie for you,,your movies are deep with a lot of ideas
A fisherman, a smuggler, and a syndicate of businessmen match wits over the possession of a priceless diamond. Blood Diamond boasts another amazing perfomance from Leonardo DiCaprio but also showcases that Djimon Hounsou is a very underrated actor and i think this film perfectly showcased his talent and Jennifer Connelly was also very good. The movie also has a nice mix of drama and action and i think it looked brilliant and sounded brilliant also the ending was really sudden and very emotional. Blood Diamond is definitely a masterpiece!!!
Not a major fan of DeCaprio but he nailed the role of a disgruntled Rhodesian soldier who served in Breytenbach's 32 Battalion in South Africa. His accent is spot-on Afrikaans as is his use of regional slang including grunts in response to others comments and his mannerisms including the way he holds a cigarette. His greed for the diamond and disrespect of the black man last almost until his bitter end. He is not a likable character. I former soldier who wants off the blood soaked continent and will walk over anyone to attain it.
Africa is the most richest subcontinent according its mines. But these mines are not for natives but for western rulers. Africa was dominated by several colonial nations like Belgium and Britain. That time their rulers used its natural resources for their own needs. After WWII colonial rulers flew from their colony and new giant communism and capitalism entered. They use wealthy Africa according to their wish. Now full of natural resources appear as curse for its natives. To collect gold, coal, copper, diamond etc easily white people creates conflicts. And the whole story is about conflict diamond. Arms business is very profitable in Africa and west sell arms to gain diamond cheaply. In 2003 about 40 nations signed a bill not buy conflict diamonds for the sake of humanity. UN sent special forces for peace keeping and in that forces Bangladesh sent huge in number. Bangladesh armed forces put some extraordinary achievement to bring peace in Sierra Leone. In exchange of honor Bangla is the second official language of Sierra Leone.
