Best movie of the year - Blood Diamonds

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2006)

I truly appreciated this movie. The movie was so well done in every aspect, from the acting to the storyline. It is wonderful to see such an important topic covered in a major motion picture and hopefully it will make people think twice about the real cost of their purchases: as the sale of diamonds are not the only commodity that plague nations. The production and sale of clothes, natural resources, drugs, and many more commodities are currently affecting the quality life and freedoms of many countries. I put this movie in my top ten all time favourites. Oh and some people might not care but I work with people who speak Afrikaans and Leonardo DiCaprio's accent was bang on.
