Blood Diamond [Blu-ray]

Es una excelente Película, incluir que se tiene como actor principal a mi actor favorito Leonardo Dicaprio, una película sin desperdicio, la recomiendo!

Fabulous acting and story. DiCaprio is outstanding

Great movie to watch

I have friends from South Africa and they comment on how well Leonardo nailed the accent. If an actor can master an accent, that shows talent to me.

Gracias

Blood diamonds: Diamond mined in war zones and sold to finance conflicts (Through the means of affording ammunition and etc)I avoided watching this movie in full for a long time. Unlike most people, I'm vaguely familiar with the concept of blood diamonds (and other conflict-related trades) and I tend to not enjoy war/political related films to begin with; they can be mundane (and not to mention, hard to follow) and they, to be quite honest, can sometimes feel like a waste of time. After viewing this in full however, I will say -this is a film worth watching regardless of your political affiliations or opinions.I am a fan of all things controversial, and this film is riddled with concepts and moments that are discomforting when not expected. The violence in this movie is non-stop (and is also mostly uncensored). The audience witnesses children being kidnapped and forcibly trained to use guns to kill targets at will. There are scenes where drug use is both explicit and alluded to - and, again, children young enough to be in grade school tend to be involved in this kind of activity. For some people this might be a deterrence, but if you're anything like me it's intriguing and ends up demanding the audience to stay engaged.Building on this last point, the violence in this movie is seemingly never-ending; at times it feels random, but its shown to be very systematic through the use of brief conversations and interactions the characters have with one-another. The best part about the use of violence in this film, however, is how often it is used to /interrupt/ scenes meant to be evoke a sense of peace and order. The violence feels as chaotic for the audience as it does for the characters in the film, and it pulls out a sense of empathy that would otherwise be based purely off of shock-value; nothing about this movie is comfortable to watch (and, it shouldn't be) and the feeling of dread of what might happen next is nothing short of ingenious.It goes without saying that the acting in this film was damn-near flawless. Djimon Hounsou won an at least 3 awards for best supporting actor for his role - and it was more than well deserved. The emotional range of his character is appropriate given the subject matter, and his performance is as powerful as it is convincing.DiCaprio's acting is as authentic as usual (paired with an accent that feels legitimate), and I would say this is one of his best performances of his entire career.My only criticism is this - by the end of the movie, I don't feel as an audience member any better at identifying diamonds that can potentially make me complicit in contributing to this system of violence and chaos. The film ends with a meeting in which the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme was created to restrict the flow of conflict diamonds in the main market, but the film doesn't let the audience know that the success of this meeting is controversial. At the end of the day, it's still up to the buyer to ensure that any diamonds they may or may not purchase don't contribute to any of the actions seen in this film - and a little reminder of that would have sufficed. It doesn't take away from the overall message of this movie, but it would have taken this film just a few steps further in to the right (and morally correct) direction.A hard watch, but an important one.I would recommend!

Easy to download and great movie

While I'm aware this a movie, this WAS the movie that scared my teenage self so bad I vowed to never wear diamonds. Its a gritty, dark movie that takes a peek into what its like mining "blood" diamonds. I'd rather wear lab grown or even Moissanite gems. Highly recommend to everyone and will always enjoy this movie.

Blood Diamond ist tatsächlich ein Film, den ich „besitzen“ muss. Ein ganz großer Action- u. Abenteuerfilm. Leonardo Di Caprio glänzt in seiner Rolle.

Beautiful Thank You

Bought this for 500 on sale. Worth every penny. Excellent Picture Quality and Sound. No complaints.

J'avais apprécié Djimon Hounsou dans Amistad et Gladiator mais ici il se surpasse. Pas étonnant qu'il ait été reconnu 3 fois et nominé 5 fois en tant que meilleur second rôle pour son rôle de pêcheur mendé au Sierra Leone en 1999 en pleine guerre civile.Alors qu'il est fait prisonnier lors de l'attaque de son village par les rebelles RUF (FRU dans le film Revolutionary United Front) il se retrouve devoir travailler dans les mines diamantifères qui servent à alimenter la rebellion. Il trouve un diamant rose d'une taille exceptionnelle et réussit à l'enterrer avant de s'échapper.Il rencontre Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) qui lui propose de l'aider à retrouver sa famille en échange du partage de la vente du diamant.

Great experience. Movie arrived on time!!
