I cry like a baby every time I watch this movie. Especially when his son points the gun at him near the end. Soloman's unwavering resolve to get his son back is absolutely beautiful. As a father myself I would go to the end of time for my family.

[@mychosis8342]

The cows wait for you 😭😭

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

The conversation he and Archer have while walking together in the wilderness always interests me. To Solomon, family is everything, while Archer has neither thought nor cared about having a family.

[@reconsoldier135]

One of the best movies of the 2000’s

[@nicolem376]

This movie really made me look at my jewelry differently & the what the value and cost of a diamond really was.

[@noelienoelie8425]

It's a strange dichotomy. It's basically a monopoly, if you don't go through one of the big 3 diamond companies it's called a Blood diamond. Like say a poor villager found a diamond tomorrow, he can't actually sell it, in fact if he tries to sell it he will be arrested. It needed to happen to stop the kind of scenes in this movie but at same time it's stripped everyday Africans of the right to sell a diamond they find and lift themselves out of poverty. Like a catch-22.

[@dnrob7]

@@noelienoelie8425 And the most sickening part of it all is that we can now make diamonds to a quality that nature never could. We can make perfect diamonds in the lab.. Make them whatever color you want too.. But then that's not the point. The point is to own something no one else can get.

[@samratcliffe5253]

Man, one of my personal favorites. I still remember seeing this in theaters with my dad. Djimon Honsou, who played Solomon, immediately became one of my favorite actors of all time. Says so much when you can out-act DiCaprio, and I believe he did.

[@captainkapalot9644]

Archers death really struck me…when he’s dying you can see him grab a handful of dirt 27:49. This is a reference to when he was talking to the colonel earlier in the flim 8:34. Archer truly never left africa.

[@MikeDamonMPG]

I've watched this movie 10+ times and it makes me cry everytime. And here I am watching a reaction tearing up again. Breaks my fucking heart

[@romanlovera427]

Cried the first time I watched it. Now that I have 2 kids of my own I cry even harder. I feel this guys parental pain way too hard. One of my favorites in my favorite channel. Thank you man!🙏🏽

[@99subetai]

Djimon Hounsou is such a good actor! I think he is one of the best actors of our generation. If you haven't watched Amistad, you really should do it. Hounsou plays Cinque, an African Mende tribesman who is captured by slavers and sent to Cuba (owned by Spain at the time). The slaves revolt, killing the slavers, but have no idea where they are or how to get back to Africa. The ship drifts until it's picked up by the US Coast Guard. The movie is the story of the legal battle for what to do with them and their status. Are they people or goods that can be salvaged and resold? The US Supreme Court ended up resolving the case in 1841.

[@samratcliffe5253]

Oh, I forgot to mention that one of the songs played in this film (during the scene where the RUF celebrates the siege of Freetown, called Baai) features the rapper Emmanuel Jal, who was a child soldier who survived and became a musician. Amazing artist, thought you might appreciate that. Correction: it was during the montage of the RUF training the child soldiers and giving them drugs, not the Freetown siege. Nonetheless, the juxtaposition of such a lovely song with the horror occurring in the scene was a stroke of genius.

[@gergosukosd8299]

It's a little bit underrated movie . This is a phenomenal film with full of phenomenal actors . One of my favourite. Your reaction was great man ! Really enjoyed it. 🙂😎

[@TheDog-i6x]

I would recommend Beast of No Nation, but that film is even harder to stomach than this one. Great movie, great reaction!

When he dies on the hill in the end is the only time I've ever teared up in any film ever.

[@erivera700]

This film deserves nothing less than a 10+++. In my opinion, this is Leonardo DiCaprio's greatest work. I've met and worked with several South Africans and spent some time with refugees who were rescued from the RUF and groups like them. His accent was spot on. Also, these poor kids are never the same. If you wish to see another film, based on true events, which touches on the subject of child soldiers check out Machine Gun Preacher.

[@Colin-to1nv]

An excellent movie, showing the truth about Africa, including that Africa needs its whites, as was slipped into the script. His accent was 95% spot on: did you hear how he 'obtained' his accent? He sacked the voice coach after filming the first scene, and went to find and spend time with real South African mercenaries to learn their accent; only, his character was Rhodesian, not South African, but we can let that slide. Two untruths in this film: the Executive Outcomes PMC, under Colonel Eeben Barlow, the true story behind this film, neither took diamonds nor traded them while wiping out the diamond rebels, in Sierra Leone, in '99. I have several sources to confirm that.

[@erivera700]

@Colin-to1nv Yes, sir. Of course, Hollywood is going to take its liberties to sell more tickets.

[@marchfourthventures7367]

Best movie that I have ever watched only once. Leo and Djimon should have gotten Oscars.

[@MichelleGracee]

This is one of my favorite movies!! OMGGGG smh being African it’s so deep watching this. A lot of the wars there is because of their raw materials it is so sad. This movie and Hotel Rwanda are must sees so that you can know the history.

[@berniegores2083]

Danny was a former Rhodesian light infantry veteran. Then immediately after that worked as a military contractor I'm conflicts all over Africa

[@Colin-to1nv]

Yes, indeed: I saw this film in the cinema purely because of the Executive Outcomes link in the true story behind the film, and the truths of Africa needing her whites being included in the script. As a South African & half an Afrikaner with South Africa in my blood, dare day this movie is pretty decent.

[@shadowrunner2510]

Love this movie, does a great job of showing how bloody the world of gems is, also love Leo's character his character gives you a small glimpse of how brutal the rhoadeisan bush war was.

He sacked his voice coach after filming the first scene, and went to find and spend time with real South African mercenaries to learn their accent; only, his character was Rhodesian, not South African, but we can let that slide, as "Danny" joined the SADF too. The talk of the 32 Battalion was precious, indeed. Yes, am a South African and half Afrikaner. The blacks are willing to work together 85% of the time, so hard work was always the motto. Being able to leave Africa is also quite true, unless engulfed in tribal rivalry which turns deadly, as with Danny, here. Two untruths in this film, sadly: the Executive Outcomes PMC, under Colonel Eeben Barlow, the true story behind this film, neither took diamonds nor traded them while wiping out the diamond rebels, in Sierra Leone, in '99, before the UN peace keepers from the UK were called in, instead.

My father is a jeweller - middle class. He makes rings mostly. I remember when I was a kid, it was a way before this movie come out, when he told me: "I'm always wandering what lives were took and what happened in general, so I can forge that little thing into that shiny metal". My father and my mother never wore any jewellry. And he did not liked it when my sister wanted one. EDIT: It's our way of life defines more lifes that we can imagine.

[@OregonSilverStacker]

Another great movie Choice. you're going to absolutely love this movie.

I saw this at the cinema at 20 not knowing anything about it. On a first date with a girl I met the week before. Half way through the film I forgot she was even there next to me.
