movie review: blood diamond
Blood Diamond
The good thing about this movie is the cinematography. They have managed to capture the war torn nature of Sierra Leone perfectly. (This coming from someone who has not seen a war torn area apart from on TV). Leonardo Di Caprio is simply amazing, and has come a long way from his titanic days. He can deliver a stunning, heart capturing performance without making it seem as if he’s trying. The family drama, which plays out during the movie is heart wrenching! The scenes are enough to make you want to jump up and do something to help them.
The only down point i think here is the length of the movie, which clocks well over 2 hours. At the end, you pretty much start hating diamonds and remember to ask where they come from the next time you go diamond shopping. That point definitely hit home here.

Wow! I feel completely ‘duh, clueless, you name it”…My video library/knowledge of movies usually consists of Disney Princess videos or any other animated movie out there nowadays, courtesy of my jannu Fiz.
Do make it a point to watch something though…when she’s asleep..if somebody recommends something.
