Blood Diamond = best movie of '06 - GoFuckYourself.com

northboy · 12-25-2006, 10:17 PM

Hands down the best movie of the year. I liked other action/comedy movies but this movie will clean up at the awards, easily. Great movie, it's a bit long but if you like Hotel Rwanda type movies, this one is for you with more action.

If JCVD isn't in it, it's not even allowed to be called 'a movie'.

xlogger · 12-25-2006, 10:20 PM

TOTALLY AGREE!

This movie was the shit, i saw it 2 times!

Kimo · 12-25-2006, 11:27 PM

I am glad you posted this. I was about to go to sleep, but instead I think I will stay up and watch the movie!

woj · 12-25-2006, 11:35 PM

will have to check it out, thanks for the tip man...

jasonir · 12-25-2006, 11:38 PM

I must agree, it's pretty awesome.

mattz · 12-25-2006, 11:39 PM

hoping to see it sometime this week, I heard it was pretty good

Pleasurepays · 12-25-2006, 11:39 PM

it would have been much better if they would have been more direct about the role of private military contractors, the players and De Beers involvement in the conflicts.

if you saw the movie and don't know... the "belgian diamond buyer" was a referrence to De Beers (huge multi national diamond buyer, buying up all the diamonds, keeping them in massive under ground vaults, just to keep them off the market). when the reporter asked him "were you with the 32nd" - is was a referrence to the 32nd Battalion Reconnaissance Wing of the South African Defense Forces .. and "The Colonel" was Eeban Barlow, who led the 32nd and once it was disbanded after Apartheid (no need for elite forces to keep the darkies in check anymore) - he formed Executive Outcomes among other private military contracting companies. He organized his then unemployed, several thousand men into a huge, legal mercinary service, which proved to be very decisive in many wars in the region. The diamond fields in Sierra Leone where they were mining (called the Kono district?) - was a real place... the attack by Executive Outcomes with attack helicopters, wiping everyone out, was a real event and so on (one of many many). De Beers was also continually accused of being indirectly involved in perpetuating the conflicts as the movie portrays.

I just happened to be reading about all this and got really interested in it, before the movie came out... and was suprised that they were not more direct in what they were saying.

TheDatingNetworkCameron · 12-25-2006, 11:42 PM

I 100% agree with you. When i left the movies for once I didn't feel ripped off by having to pay 15 bucks to watch it.

I'm sure there were some legal reasons why they couldn't directly do that, my dad told me it was De Beers so that's how I knew but I'm sure with the cicumstancial evidence they have and the lawsuits that could come out of it, they had to keep it pretty general. I'm just curious to know how many diamonds they have locked up off the market.

I still think the departed was better, but it surely was an excellent film.
