Re: Blood Diamonds

It was a'aite.
Filled wid action; but somehow I left feeling that it fell a little below expectations.

Maybe its becuase I expected that Djimon Hounsou would have been more "action" like.

But the script was well written and the cast, excellent.

Re: Blood Diamonds

bwoy mi always seh it, black ppl are our worst enemies. Look how the leader waan fi chop off hands just because the poor miner tek a simple diamond.

Leo Dicaprio really did a good job with his character, even his accent was authentic! Did anyone else think Dijmon look a bit darker, I know him naturally dark but did makeup artists go overboard?

10 outta 10

The chopping the hands off was quite shocking... I couldn't believe how these peeps were treated!

Leo did do a great job....I have to admit I was a bit weary at first, but pleasently surprised with how he pulled it off. And I don't know about Dijmon looking darker, but he sure did a great job! I would have to say my favorite part about him was how his reactions were to the killing...like it wasn't something he felt comfortable with. What an awesome example of a father!!

Re: Blood Diamonds

that movie was rough, Dijmon really had quite a struggle to being separated from his family and not giving up.
