Product Description

An ex-mercenary turned smuggler (Leonardo DiCaprio). A Mende fisherman (Djimon Hounsou). Amid the explosive civil war overtaking 1999 Sierra Leone, these men join for two desperate missions: recovering a rare pink diamond of immense value and rescuing the fisherman's son, conscripted as a child soldier into the brutal rebel forces ripping a swath of torture and bloodshed across the alternately beautiful and ravaged countryside. Directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai), this urgent, intensely moving adventure shapes gripping human stories and heart-pounding action into a modern epic of profound impact.

I have friends from South Africa and they comment on how well Leonardo nailed the accent. If an actor can master an accent, that shows talent to me.

Blood diamonds: Diamond mined in war zones and sold to finance conflicts (Through the means of affording ammunition and etc)

I avoided watching this movie in full for a long time. Unlike most people, I'm vaguely familiar with the concept of blood diamonds (and other conflict-related trades) and I tend to not enjoy war/political related films to begin with; they can be mundane (and not to mention, hard to follow) and they, to be quite honest, can sometimes feel like a waste of time. After viewing this in full however, I will say -this is a film worth watching regardless of your political affiliations or opinions.

I am a fan of all things controversial, and this film is riddled with concepts and moments that are discomforting when not expected. The violence in this movie is non-stop (and is also mostly uncensored). The
audience witnesses children being kidnapped and forcibly trained to use guns to kill targets at will. There are scenes where drug use is both explicit and alluded to - and, again, children young enough to be in grade school tend to be involved in this kind of activity. For some people this might be a deterrence, but if you're anything like me it's intriguing and ends up demanding the audience to stay engaged.

Building on this last point, the violence in this movie is seemingly never-ending; at times it feels random, but its shown to be very systematic through the use of brief conversations and interactions the characters have with one-another. The best part about the use of violence in this film, however, is how often it is used to /interrupt/ scenes meant to be evoke a sense of peace and order. The violence feels as chaotic for the audience as it does for the characters in the film, and it pulls out a sense of empathy that would otherwise be based purely off of shock-value; nothing about this movie is comfortable to watch (and, it shouldn't be) and the feeling of dread of what might happen next is nothing short of ingenious.

It goes without saying that the acting in this film was damn-near flawless. Djimon Hounsou won an at least 3 awards for best supporting actor for his role - and it was more than well deserved. The emotional range of his character is appropriate given the subject matter, and his performance is as powerful as it is convincing.
DiCaprio's acting is as authentic as usual (paired with an accent that feels legitimate), and I would say this is one of his best performances of his entire career.

My only criticism is this - by the end of the movie, I don't feel as an audience member any better at identifying diamonds that can potentially make me complicit in contributing to this system of violence and chaos. The film ends with a meeting in which the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme was created to restrict the flow of conflict diamonds in the main market, but the film doesn't let the audience know that the success of this meeting is controversial. At the end of the day, it's still up to the buyer to ensure that any diamonds they may or may not purchase don't contribute to any of the actions seen in this film - and a little reminder of that would have sufficed. It doesn't take away from the overall message of this movie, but it would have taken this film just a few steps further in to the right (and morally correct) direction.

A hard watch, but an important one.

I would recommend!

While I'm aware this a movie, this WAS the movie that scared my teenage self so bad I vowed to never wear diamonds. Its a gritty, dark movie that takes a peek into what its like mining "blood" diamonds. I'd rather wear lab grown or even Moissanite gems. Highly recommend to everyone and will always enjoy this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Action/Political Issues Cross
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2007
Verified Purchase
One of the best movies of 2006, "Blood Diamond" combines the action movie with the heart-rending 'issues' movie - films like "Hotel Rwanda", "Dirty Pretty Things" and "Rabbitproof Fence", which feature stories of real-life atrocities that have taken place or are still taking place. The meld is extremely potent - the seriousness of the issues presented is never minimilized or brushed off, but the fact that the movie is a fictionalized account of a real situation provides for the welcome possibility of a somewhat happier ending for the innocents than usually happens in 'true story' movies like this, and the tantalizing lure that the heinous villains may not escape justice as they so often do in real life. (On the other hand, "Blood Diamond" is grim enough that neither of those possibilities seems guaranteed, generating tremendous suspense). On the action movie front, the fact that these bad guys are right out of the papers and evening news makes it impossible not to root against them with a particular vengeance. The stakes seem much higher than in many action movies and have a profound effect on the heart.

Taking place in the '90s civil war of Sierra Leone, the "Blood Diamond" of the title refers to diamonds which, like many other valuable substances, have been mined in Africa by slave labor repeatedly in recent years to pay for war efforts on behalf of both ruthless rebel factions and brutal governments. The diamond end of this appaling tragedy has to a large degree been cleaned up by the establishment of the Kimberly Process (designed to keep 'blood diamonds' off the open market) but the practice was in full swing at the time the story here takes place. Djimon Hounsou plays the father of a family in a village where rebels come to abduct the population - to turn the young into brainwashed 'child soldiers' and to press many of the adults into slave labor in the diamond rivers. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a smuggler/mercenary who has dealings with the rebel group, and who comes to a stage in his life where he has to decide if it's too late to try and turn away from the brutal way he's lived his life. Jennifer Connelly plays a journalist in Africa trying to gather evidence to expose the blood diamond trade and its links to rich Western corporations. Her character, Maddy, has piled up a track record of uncovering similiar abuses all over the world. In an ordinary movie, any one of these three stars would steal the show, but in "Blood Diamond" all three lead players deliver astonishing performances. So, in fact, does the entire supporting cast. The discovery in the slave rivers of one of the largest diamonds in the world (worth millions) and, moreover, the quest of Hounsou's character Solomon Vandy to escape and rescue his family (including the son that's been taken by the rebels) and the various characters who risk their lives to help him, provide main points for the movie.

In terms of production, everything's perfect - the action sequences, the cinematography, the musical score, everything. The lush natural beauty of Sierra Leone is captured amazingly well, and having such breat-taking natural imagery as the backdrop for such a brutal series of events is poignant, to say the least.

Excellent in every respect, one of the very best picks from a year that was loaded with great movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un diamant de sang .... le sang des diamants
Reviewed in France on January 12, 2020

J'avais apprécié Djimon Hounsou dans Amistad et Gladiator mais ici il se surpasse. Pas étonnant qu'il ait été reconnu 3 fois et nominé 5 fois en tant que meilleur second rôle pour son rôle de pêcheur mendé au Sierra Leone en 1999 en pleine guerre civile.

Alors qu'il est fait prisonnier lors de l'attaque de son village par les rebelles RUF (FRU dans le film Revolutionary United Front) il se retrouve devoir travailler dans les mines diamantifères qui servent à alimenter la rebellion. Il trouve un diamant rose d'une taille exceptionnelle et réussit à l'enterrer avant de s'échapper.

Il rencontre Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) qui lui propose de l'aider à retrouver sa famille en échange du partage de la vente du diamant.
