Review on Blood Diamond

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2010)

It's a tragic story about conflict diamonds in Africa. Africa has the largest diamond mines in the world. Diamonds are traditionally used as a unit of exchange for military resources.
People said," Diamond lasts forever and ever." While people treat diamond as a symbol of high class and endless love, have they ever known that they are pushing tremendous people in Africa to the corner of dead? Where do those immaculate diamonds come from?
It's a truly alarm for me to reflect the value of things I purchased. Frankly speaking, most girls buy things impulsively and without much consideration of the value behind. Take the blood diamond as an example, people think that paying the market price is the only cost of a diamond, whereas the explicit cost is thrillingly far behind what we have imagined.
Those young African who deserve to enjoy their precious lives like us are deprived and forced to involve in the bloodbath. Some kids are even taught to shoot people within a second before knowing to grab a pen. Those physically alive, mentally dead African are extracting diamonds under being threatening every moment.
After watching this movie, I interrogated myself, "Is it what I want from buying a diamond?" Or, are the marketing talents too successfully in promoting their diamonds and somehow cover all the misery secrets behind this glamorous trap? At last, think twice before buying or receiving any blood diamond. For me, I already lost royalty to those blinking diamonds.
