Leonardo DiCaprio truly became Danny Archer in this jaw dropping, I can’t believe that just happened film. His character is incredibly versatile. He spoke in several different accents and dialects as he went from one situation to the next and made each shine true. After a few minutes I can honestly say I forgot he was the star that he is and saw him as the character he played, an African man. I have to give him a 10/10 on this one and I am not his biggest fan by any means.
Jennifer Connelly is a gem and not at all disappointing in this film herself! She brings compassion and a soft beauty to otherwise sad and hard faced scenes. She plays an action addicted reporter who honestly cares about the tragedy around her and believes herself there to make a difference not just write about the drama.
Blood Diamond is a profoundly meaningful film. It is not often I genuinely learn something from a movie and feel enlightened and altered by watching it…
This film takes place in present day and is about a strife oceans away in Africa where one could easily lack knowledge of the ongoing affairs. Where horrific things take place involving women and children and very bad people. A strife this country and others like it have helped to fund. The most heart wrenching thing about this film is that there are facts to the fiction.
I don’t want to give away important details so here is my most basic plot outline. Blood Diamond is about an entire country becoming homeless and about children being brain washed into warriors. Its not the fly in the eye starving children commercial you can see any day of the week but something even more tragic. Tribes turning against each other and unimaginable hatred and greed as they risk life and limb for the thirst of Diamonds. There is however a silver lining, there are the people who want to change all these things and restore Africa. There are the people willing to risk everything to achieve the smallest justice and they are who you cry with as the story unfolds.
I enjoyed this film in a very realistic way I not only recommend you see it but I urge you to do so. This movie deserves no less than a 8.5/10.
