My wife and I have been to Liberia,it was a very real and frightening movie and in many ways confirmed what we had been told about the war in Liberia and the use of children hopped up on drugs to do the dispicable deeds the cowardly and murdeous adults had a hard time doing themselves.We have seen first hand how the minds of children have been permanently scarred by what they did and saw!
Great Movie!! A must see!! The acting, plot, and story was well done!
This movie was riveting! Definitely one of the best films I have seen in a very long time, possibly one of the best ever. Brilliant performances by the cast. This movie will stay with you after leaving the theatre and give you a different perspective on diamonds. Oscar worthy for sure!
excellent movie but sorry to whoever posted the comment but Matt Damon isnt in this movie.
If your interested in war movies, over coming almost unbeatable obstacles, and true hero`s.i would watch this movie,i`m planning on buying the video. It gives you so much truth and understanding of africa.And how lucky we are to live were we do.the three actors togather put on an amazing performance.I havent been so moved emotionaly from a movie in a long time. this is by far a 5 star movie go see it!
This movie was amazing. Great performances and Leonardo DiCaprio did an outstanding job as well as others. The movie is not just entertaining, it has messages and makes you think about what is happening in third world countries. I was blown away. Defintely Oscar worthy. 5/5
Best Line of the movie.. an elderly man from a slaughtered village... "can you imagine if Africa had oil? then we would be in real trouble." Wow I have been to Africa... this movie depicts Africa with honesty. It is earthy,lush, dirty, cruel and beautiful. Thank you to the producers and script writers for having the guts not to gloss over Africa... and the guts to show Africa`s beauty in raw form.
A must see! Should stimulate good and critical conversations for us all.
Best picture of 2006---Great acting. Sensitive subject Look at diamonds differently
Blood diamond was really interesting, beautifully filmed. I loved the acting and it was informative on the serious issues that are going on in third world countries. I saw it twice in two days.
