english: thoughts about "Blood Diamond"

I like these types of movies, when you feel like you know the characters and you don't know what's going to happen next. When you're sitting on the edge of your seat or wiping away a tear when you see innocent children being shot, that's the type of movie I like.

The main story of the movie is good, and important. The export and import of illegal diamonds is something that has been going on for years, and still is. The acting is also more than okay, it is fantastic. The way Leonardo DiCaprio talks like he is from South Africa, the rage in Djimon Hounsou's eyes when he met the man who took his son and the frustration Jennifer Connelly feels when nobody will go on record makes the hole movie a good one.

The movie was touching, moving, exiting, thrilling and a little bit romantic and it leaves me with a good impression. Still at times the movie can be a bit too american, with unnecessary fighting scenes, excessive use of violence (although this movie might need it to prove its point) and with a sort of happy ending.

Still, as said, the movie was touching. I never cry of movies, but during this one i caught myself wining a bit. So all in all, i would recommend this movie, and I might watch it again.
