My thoughts on "Blood Diamond"

I think Blood Diamond was a really god movie. Both because the story was so strong and because it was so well made. The actors did a great job making the characters seem real, especially Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou who played the main characters, Danny Artcher, Maddy Bowen and Solomon Vandy.

The film successfully managed to focus on many themes at the same time. Even though the civil war, smuggling and child soldiers dominated the happenings in Blood Diamond, love was still a very present theme. I loved how Danny Artcher was such a complex character and how it took so long before we got to know his past. I also really liked Jennifer Connelly’s character, and the way the relationship between her and Danny grew.




It was a very touching movie and I would recommend everyone to watch it!
