I guess the same thought would hav crosses many minds while seeing Blood Diamond trailer in the theatre - that it doesnt reali seems appealing. well, at least that crosses mine and several of my friends. but yesterdae's experience at the cinema was totally.. hmm.. intriguing i would say. Blood Diamond totally reminds me of another movie which i love, City of God.
Leonardo DiCaprio has once again prove to be an excellent actor, not only in his acting skill, but also of the scripts he chose to act in. so next time, just catch any Leonardo's movie! im sure he wouldnt fail us! haha.. oh! and he has this witty rugged charm throughout the whole movie.. drool*
Blood Diamond is a story set in 1990s, Sierra Leone, Africa, uncovering the trading of conflict diamonds. Thou the story on Leonardo, Jennifer and Djimon may not be true, the trading of conflict diamond is indeed stil goin round in the Africa today.
Zwick Director's note: "The world sees diamonds as sparkling, beautiful and highly prized. They are symbols of love and fidelity, affluence and glamour. But in the African country of Sierra Leone, where many of the world's diamonds are mined, they have taken on a much darker connotation. Conflict diamonds' are stones that have been smuggled out of countries at war. They then go to pay for more arms, increasing the death toll and furthering the destruction of the region. They may be a small percentage of the world's sales, but, nonetheless, in an industry worth billions of dollars, even a small percentage is worth many millions and can buy innumerable small arms."
