Blood Diamond.

This is a great movie. Blood Diamond is about the search of a big diamond in the middle of the war and kidnapping of kids called “children army” which is currently happening in Africa. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the main actors in the movie, doing a very good job (he is getting better) doing african/slang accent. I loved the phrase they use T.I.A. (This Is Africa), meaning that everyone that goes there is either a reporter, someone from the army or goverment or smugglers in look of diamonds and with all this anything could happen and you might die at any moment. Djimon Hounsou plays a great role, his acting I believe was extremely good.

The whole point of the movie is to show the world that every time you buy a diamond ring, neckless or anything with diamonds you have to think that it might have comed from killing people, inocent children that were kidnapped. Every time you buy a diamond, you are funding the war in Africa. But the main subject I believe is the kidnapping of these kids to convert them into soldiers or “men”, they brainwash them and have build an army of kids.  I highly suggest watching  Invisible Children  , it’s a documentary about these kids and how they live in fear. It was made by some college kids who decided to adventure and  find out what was happening in Africa. This tells a true story, this is not old news, this is happening NOW .  I truely recommend watching the documentary before the movie so you could better understand what is happening. These kids need the worlds help, fuck  Iraq they can handle themself, these kids  can’t.
