What a Great Film

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2007)

BLOOD DIAMOND was a movie that could have touched the hearts of anyone who watched it, and it was slightly educational. It made us aware that something like this was happening. It was also a violent movie physically and verbally, if you catch my drift.
I thought this movie was one of the best movies I've seen in a while, and I would love to see more like this. It put us in the shoes.. or feet of the people in Sierra Leone and let us see how it is like to have your hands cut off even just for hiding the smallest piece of diamond imaginable. The blood diamond business is cruel.
Also not to forget the child Dia Vandy and Solomon Vandy. Solomon is struggling to find Dia and once he does, it's not a pretty sight.
I thought this was a great movie and I look forward into seeing it again. If the Blood Diamond trade is still going on.. I hope that it ends and no one will ever have to experience something as horrible as that again.
