 While I am still emotional here after watching the movie Blood Diamond, let me tell you something about it… Blood Diamond is a intense, action filled, political and emotional movie about the dark side of the diamond industry in Sierra Leone starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Jennifer Connelly, and Djimon Hounsou. Out of boredom, I decided to watch this DVD late this evening. My housemate bought this 2 wks ago and recommended me to watch it over the weekend. But since I was so pre-occupied with surfing, chatting, and other things for the past weekends, I ignore it 'til just earlier.
I never had any idea what this movie is all about. All I know, it was a nice movie since it already won several awards from different award giving bodies in US. Nor I am a huge fan of Leonardo but I must admit he is becoming better and better these years. I rarely watch movies but I must say that this is one of the first-rate movies that told a story that will grip you and move you.
Every part of the movie is brilliant. But there is one dramatic scene which I really like most… where Danny (Leo) made his promise to call up Maddy (Jen)…the moment before he died. "I am looking at an incredible view right now, I wish you were here, Maddy". I know it's so mushy but you have to watch the entire movie to feel it. I bet you will…
So if you not have seen the movie yet, you better should…
