Blood Diamond - a life changing movie



I would have to say this is a great picture. Not only was the film based on a real story line - the actors all played their roles to the top!
From the begining this movie takes hold of you and doesn't let go until the very end. Even then you are left with - thoughts - pains - and questions... Questions not about what happened in the movie but questions on how you live your own life. How spoiled we are here. You (I) try to question - "how do you change it"
Leonardo did a great job with his role - I would not have guessed him to play a part like this. He should be up for some awards due to the nature of the film and his great acting abilities.
The movie touches death in a light we are not accustomed to. Its true to life. So, seeing it, unless you are evil in your own right will make you just want to crawl into fetal position for all the death and terror these people have to go through daily.
Africa is a country that needs change - it is not only them that hurt themselves but yet - "we" contribute to each death if we do not make a change.
Watch the movie go in with an open mind - be aware that what you are seeing is real to the country and not just a role written for the big screen - be aware that the deaths - sweat - labor - love - losses are all what is realy happening there.
What can we do here to make a change?
