Over the years, this slogan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The diamond ring is the best choice for men and women who are going to get married to show their hearts and minds. However, after watching "Blood Diamond", you may reconsider your wedding gift.
In the war-torn Sierra Leone, the rebels captured innocent civilians to mine diamonds for them, and then smuggled them out to buy arms. Unscrupulous jewellers bought these cheaper diamonds, hoarding odds, and driving up the price of diamonds on the market.
The blood diamond not only refers to the color of the diamond in the movie, the precious and rare pink diamond, but also shows that the diamonds produced on this land are stained with the blood of Sierra Leoneans. Former mercenary and current diamond smuggler Danny learned that Solomon, a civilian who had been captured by the rebels to mine ore, had a rare pink diamond in his possession, so he wanted to use Solomon to obtain this diamond, making a fortune, and leaving the turmoil. Continent of Africa. Solomon needs Danny to find his separated family for him. And the female reporter Mandy is investigating diamond smuggling in Sierra Leone, hoping to get first-hand information from Danny.
If only from the plot analysis, it is a Hollywood blockbuster that cannot be more vulgar. The male protagonist is handsome, rude, brave, and witty. He seems selfish at first, but as the plot progresses, his shining points begin to show slowly. The heroine is beautiful, wild, and full of justice. At the beginning of the film, the heroes and heroines must have disliked each other, but they had to take adventures together. However, after getting to know each other, especially the protagonist confided his childhood trauma to the heroine (the hero must have childhood trauma, otherwise how can it be? After becoming a complete hero), the heroine gently shook the actor's hand, and the two finally let go of their previous suspicions. There are countless thrilling shots between you and your nerves are constantly tightening, and the occasional flirtation is exceptional. Warm.
However, the true value of this movie is to show the turbulent scene of Sierra Leone, or, by extension, the entire African continent. The rebels attacked the city, massacring civilians at will. What about the government? In the words of the locals, the government is bad, and the rebels are even worse. They are just fighting for control of the rich resources of this land. Many international charity organizations are stationed here, and many war reporters are here for interviews. But can they really help Africa? Danny said: "Peace organizations will find that they can't help anyone. Government officials just want to make a fortune and then go into exile to other countries. The rebels don't want to drive the government away and clean up the mess. TIA (This is Africa.) "What's
even more shocking is that the rebels captured many children and trained them into boy scouts. These children were brainwashed, and the rebels taught them to drink, take drugs, and kill. They listened to black American music from nowhere, calling themselves "natrual killer", "No one will let go see me no more", the rifle is their toy, and killing is their game. Solomon's son Dia was originally a naive and studious child. After becoming a boy scout, he aimed his gun at his father. There are also countless civilians who are forced to dig diamond mines for the rebels. They have no personal freedom. Whoever wants to escape or hide diamonds will be executed immediately.
It is such a beautiful and fertile continent. Her red land is dyed red by the blood of Africans. The Dika in the film said: "Sometimes, I wonder, will God forgive us for everything we do to each other? Then, I looked around and realized that God has been away from this land for a long time." Yes, they They cannot rely on God, cannot rely on Western countries, cannot rely on peace organizations, they can only rely on themselves. Despite this, Africans still have good hopes for the future. Solomon said: "One day, peace will fall on this land, and here, it will become paradise."
Before Danny died, he called Mandy. He looked at the magnificent beauty of Africa in front of him and said, "I am so much. I hope you are here." His blood dripped into the red clay. He grabbed the red clay covered with his own blood and watched it slowly fall back to the ground. His life has long been closely linked to Africa, and he can no longer leave.
This is Africa!!
We love it, we hate it, we kill each other. After experiencing so many things, do you still believe that there are still many good people in the world? Danny's answer is: "No, they are just ordinary people." But many times, it is difficult for us to know whether our choice is correct. Danny finally chose to help Solomon, he put his life into the land under his feet.
Solomon was finally reunited with his family, reports of blood diamonds were published, and illegal diamond merchants were also punished. Sierra Leone finally achieved peace in 2002. A happy ending. In this Oscars ceremony, many stars did not wear diamond jewelry. Diamond merchants claim that their diamonds are legal and clean. However, there are still many countries in Africa that do not have peace, and 200,000 children are still boy scouts. Countless blood diamonds are still circulating in the market. Solomon may have been redeemed, but what about the others?
