Diamond Polished

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2007)

In the other side of the world conflicts arise with us being truly unaware. When one buys a diamond, it's difficult to imagine its path all along and the blood it may have been spilled for it: how much a simple thing like a diamond revolves so much around it.
Thanks to this film by Edward Zwick, besides being plunged into a fabulously well told story, ones head is open wide. A story garmented by a neat love trail and a constant run on survival.
The settings are divided into the marvelous, jaw-breaking African prairies and the poor, dusty villages of the African inhabitants. This great contrasts works perfectly also with the idea that there is another contrast within the world that makes the diamond and the world that buys it, the poor and the rich.
This film being highly entertaining, moderately politic and classy acted; is a very good choice I'd say for everyone. The gripping tension owes an applause, because throughout the film you will be grounding further and further for any good character that is presented on you. Nasty good option.
