"Blood Medicine", a companion piece to the Blood Diamond

This film is very similar to "Blood Diamond" (starring Xiao Di):
1. Both are African films;
2. The theme is all conspiracy, a conspiracy to squeeze black buddies, one through medical drugs, the other through diamonds;
3. NB Line comparison: Blood Diamond is TIA (This is Africa.); There is a sentence in this film: That's how the world f*ck Africa.
4. The ending is a tragedy. A few died;
5. The conspiracy was finally revealed... so naive.

However, the blood diamond focuses on war, and the shooting scenes are quite cool; this film focuses on love, but unfortunately Aunt Rachel Weisz is fully featured, destroying the good image that "The Mummy" and "Hell Detective" left me. So blood diamonds are better. If this film were replaced by the heroine I like, it would be different!

I have a feeling that we must stay away from crazy women. This eldest sister is really sympathetic to a certain extent, or is too leftist. In order to complete the mission of Purdue all sentient beings: first get married in order to go to Africa, and then engage in sex transactions behind her husband in exchange for information, and then go into danger in person, hang up on her own, In the end, the husband's life was also caught. Dr. Bethune can be compared by her! In this way, the audience needs to understand it as great love, crying with Uncle Fiennes... Wow, it's beyond me.

But watching African films occasionally is still a bit beneficial - it makes you feel very happy now.
