I know that I tend to review some pretty random films and urge you to watch all of them, but honestly I would call video rental spots near your house to make sure that they had this particular movie stocked for you. Out of everything I would suggest you watching or wearing, please heed this advice. I would give you my number so you could call me, at which point I would put the phone to the television so you could hear the dialogue of this movie.

 The 2006 masterpiece, Blood Diamond, is arguably the most compelling film of our time. Set during the Sierra Leone Civil War, the movie depicts the horrifying realities (such as the brutal amputation of limbs to stop people from voting) that are symptomatic of conflicts in war-torn Africa diamond mining. As Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Danny Archer, so eloquently states, “In America it’s bling-bling, but out here it’s bling-bang.” I had little prior knowledge about conflict diamonds before watching Blood Diamond and I was able to learn so much from this film. DiCaprio’s performance in the film is breathtaking and enough to make me move him up to the greatest actor of our time status in my book. Now, go see it!
