Hi there!
I know. It was a really hard film. Loads of ethical issues within, right.
The Guardian writes “the film touches on the chief issues in Africa – post-colonial instability, tribal warfare, commercial exploitation, the brutal conscription and indoctrination of boy soldiers (…). Danny, as ruthless a killer as the revolutionaries, represents cynicism, shallow realism and the instinct and skill to survive. Gentle, idealistic Solomon stands for hope, peaceful resolution, the warmth of family life; his ambition is to see his son become a doctor. Maddy is there to be instructed, to have her liberal pieties tested and to be one of the agencies through which Danny is redeemed.”
Who’s the character you enjoyed the most? Was it Danny, Leonardo Dicaprio? Was it Solomon, Djimon Hounsou? Or was it Jennifer Connelly? What do you think about commercial exploitation? And about boy soldiers? Write your opinion about one of these issues in your own words.
I liked this film but I didn’t expect it to be so hard and I didn’t expect it to end that way.
Hi Gemma,
At first I don’t like so much this film because it was very shocking. This film make you think about the things are more importan than you think.
The Blood Diamon was very emotional.
I really enjoyed this film, it’s quite raw but I think that that’s just how reality actually is.
Besides that, I have to say I didn’t dislike any of the characters. All of them had something that made them unique and special. But my favourite was probably Maddy, the fierce journalist.
Also, stuff like commercial exploitation and little boys having guns in their hands are things that upset me a lot. When you realize that these situations keep happening at this very right moment, that’s when you know the world still needs to change and evolve. I love how this film raises awareness about these kind of issues.
Hi Gemma
i liked the movie a lot, the ending was very shocking, but even so the movie was very pretty
Hi class! The film was very exiting for me. I have seen it before. So the first time that I saw the film was more interesting.
Blood diamon is a good film because it realises you the hard day to day in other coutries.
Hi class!
Has been a movie very hard but at the same time it hooked you With its history very good actors with a great movie me too Because it makes you think about reality .I hope to have more movies in English class
The film represents the raw reality that lives in some zones of africa. The explotacion always has exsist, even in ours days. There responsable are the mafias, that commission to exploit to the citizens paying them a misfortune or under death threat and enriching to his coast. Back of these mafias are the big investors of the called first world.
In mine opinion this film shows us a small sample of the reality that secrete us or that we do not want to see.
Helllo Gemma!
The film has seemed very interesting although I could not see it all because I missed one day. It’s a movie that makes you very suspicious and introverted. I’m not much to see these kind of movies but I’ve found it really brilliant.
Hello Gemma !
The film is good, they mostrated us what hard is get diamonds.
We only think we want a beautiful diamond, but we don’t know what happened behind that diamond.
In conclusion, I like this film but it’s so hard to see.
