Blood Diamonds

The movie was impressive to me but more because of its action-oriented. Yet, i found it quite intriguing because of the dark side of human nature portrayed in the movie. Leonardo Dicaprio was good but non-realistic to me because of the background of the conflict. I've heard some comments from people who said it was the first time they understood of how bad it is that people all over the globe commit atrocities in exchange of money, not just in Africa. The movie indeed expresses the frustration that there is always a connection between the rich in rich countries and the plight of the poor in poor countries but it lacks the most important ingredient of pursuasion: that is compassion. For a movie for profit, what good it is that audiences know more about child abuse in Africa? what good it is that audience realize there is a war over there? For they go to this movie to see "Blood" and actions, not the "blood" on the diamonds!
