Blood Diamond-Review

Saturday, January 13th, 2007
humm , this movie is about Diamond & blood that flows after one find worthy peace of coal. It’s about story from Siera Leone where such blood shed gone while political termoil. A man(Solomon Vendy) finds big pink diamond from mine. His boss/coup leader wants that diamond but due to attack he lost his eye & Solomon hides the diamond in sands of that mine. During this chaos , he get arrested by govt.troops & get into the jail. Here in Jail, another blood trafficker Danny Archer saw him & learn that Solomon is the key to that diamond.

Back to start, rebels attack the poor people ,kill them , separate man who can work in the diamond mines. During such attack, Solomon got caught with rebels but he makes his family flee from there . His family is his wife,daughter & boy. He want to make his boy a good doctor some day. After separation from seperation, one day , the rebels catch Solomon’s son & take him for their rebel army.

Back upto Jail, Archer bails out Solomon & try to convince him for find the diamond , in reward , Archer make him meet his family. During this , Archer meets Maddy Bowen ,a journalist who want to write about this whole “blood diamond”thing . And the story follows, better you watch it yourself .

It’s movie for must watch,atleast from my view. The cinematography is excellent so is direction to story telling. Movie shows us how bloody the journey of this peace from mother earth & we humans want it at any cost. Just sack for money ,we can kill people , create situation of war, supply weapons & all shit. Movie showed the way , terror groups brain wash the children & result of such is like hell, geeez what the hell !!!!!!!!!

Movie is starring Leonardo DiCaprio(Archer),Jennifer Connelly(Maddy),Djimon Hounsou(Solomon). Plus there is Jimmy Mistry(Nabil) & Gaurav Chopra (as french journalist, both having some 2-3 scenes.

I hope it’s strong contender for this year’s Oscar nominations.

Damn, movie’s catch line , TIA, This is Africa.
