Blood Diamond
Blood Diamond talks about the filthy diamond trade and those who profit in it. Apparently diamonds are a dime a dozen and the diamond market is hyperinflated because suppliers lock up most of the stones on the market. This is logical yet ugly, and Blood Diamond takes a look at how many innocent lives are snuffed out for each diamond in unstable African nations. DiCaprio is his usual excellent acting self and Jennifer Connelly is pretty and effective. This is a short review several weeks later, almost an afterthougt, but I recommend the film. Manohla Dargis is off her rocker to give the film 50 of 100… typical pretentious New York Times.
