Blood Diamond
This movie shakes the average Central European people out of their quiet lifes - at least it stopped us from continuing our movie marathon for a while… ‘Blood Diamond’ (http://imdb.com/title/tt0450259/) simply makes You think about what goes on behind the borders of our golden cage and how this is related to us. The main character, a cynic diamond smuggler trapped between two worlds on the hunt for an especially precious diamond learns that there is more than just the own profit or the struggle to stay alive. He, a fisherman looking for his hijacked family and a female journalist undergo an ordeal travelling through a Sierra Leone raged by civil war…
Leonardo di Caprio plays a ruthless character who changes dramatically in the course of the plot. This together with the critical approach to the relation between first and third world make this movie worth a look!
