The characters are good, the story is even better. It's not perfect, the pacing could be better, but overall it's message is powerful and it will leave an impression. |

Leo should stop it with the accents. He can't do it. I hated this film. It was just not compelling. Yuck. |

Holy Crap! |
|
A brilliant piece of cinematic filmmaking, artistic and altruistic, "Blood Diamond" is wonderfully crafted and beautifully scripted. Leonordo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly are brilliant together, acting circles around most films that come out in 2006 [which happened to be a good year for Leonardo with the release of "The Departed"]. A great film. |

MORE PRECIOUS THAN DIAMONDS |
|
This movie introduced me to this versatile actor named DJIMON HOUNSOU (acted as SOLOMON VANDY in movie). Very impressive. But he was getting close to stealing the spotlight from LEONARDO DICAPRIO (DANNY ARCHER in movie). Not that DICAPRIO failed miserably. It's not that. I believe it was a combination of the character's significance in the whole story and just simple pure good acting. From SOLOMON's standpoint, it was all about the search for his son. From ARCHER's standpoint, all that mattered was finding the diamond.
ARCHER, however, had a change of heart. He found out in the end that he was pursuing the wrong thing. He found love instead. And true friendship. To him they were more brilliant and precious than any gem of this earth. |

Very interesting movie, but not for kids. |

I have seen a number of movies covering endless matters and tragedies in the history of human beings; many of them have been very, very good. Yet, I very few movies have ever presented people and their nature in such a complex way as in BLOOD DIAMOND.
Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a South African mercenary whose big dream is to find a hidden diamond which, he believes, can transform his chaotic life. Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) was originally a fisherman and father of a friendly family, until a troupe of armed soldiers took him away by force to work in diamond fields. The organization uses methods which to us are unimaginable -- if your hands are weak, soldiers will cut them off. If your hands are strong, they'll let you work in the fields. Solomon was lucky enough to be emplo... |
