Blood Diamond : by Edward Zwick


Diamond are precious .. really are .. but do we need to shed blood for it ???

Blood Diamond is an absolutely exhilarating experince giving an insight into Diamond Smuggling Nexus !

Sierra Leone in Africa sets the film on a scale of a civil war with innocent people being forced into slavery.

The black african actor here playing the role of Solomon Vandy strikes the cinegoer with his balanced yet vulnerable persona as fisherman carrying his heart upon his sleeve.

Leonardo yet again surprises with the mean potryal of a smuggler and culminates with a sensitive side to the well-defined character of Danny Archer

Connelly has come a long way from 'A Beautiful Mind' and plays a frustrated yet 'knowing her job' journalist craving for evidence on the nexus.

High points of the movie

1. The Air Strike on the REBELS
2. Escape of Danny and Solomon from the bloody civil lines
3. Solomon's reunion with his family

Djimoun Honso , the african actor truly desrved the Best Supporting Actor Oscar instead it went to Alan Arkin

Go and buy a ticket / pick a dvd / do whatever .. WATCH IT

Rating : 4.5/5.0
