Leo and Djimon deserved oscars for this movie!!

[@joelwillems4081]

They were nominated but the Oscars are political and not the best candidates. Alan Arkin for supporting actor in Little Miss Sunshine? It's a fun film but no one will remember him in that role. Academy just felt he was due. Whitaker is usually an underrated actor but he isn't as good as Leo. Leo has zero Oscars and Forest got his that year for Last King of Scotland. At this rate, they'll have to give him Leo of those legacy ones when he is dead or old. I think it was Matt Damon who said that the rest of the actors just get chosen for their films after Leo has passed on them. :)

[@B0mber44]

@@joelwillems4081are you not aware that Leo won Best Actor for The Revenant in 2015?

[@spongeaang98]

@@joelwillems4081The Arkin win was bullshit, but that award should've gone to Eddie Murphy for Dreamgirls and they shafted him for Norbit. Forest Whittaker absolutely deserved to win that year as well because his transformation into Idi Amin was unrecognizable. Also Leo won for The Revenant already too.

[@RedLeviathan]

Djimon won an Oscar for it (Best 2nd role)

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

really does suck how blood diamonds are real. just because people in developed, rich parts of the world want a diamond for a wedding, people in other parts of the world are being dragged into a life of violence and suffering, where their lives are worth less than a rock. sad, how we can unknowingly cause so much suffering. that's why it's important to know how our stuff is made, where it comes from. our enjoyment could be someone else's exploitation...

[@joelwillems4081]

It isn't just that way. You skip the introduction speech? He's saying it is/was like that with ivory, rubber, oil, gold and he didn't even mention opium, spices, salt. cocaine and slaves. Unfortunately the world isn't all black & white but has many shades of grey. Nations killed each other even when they weren't fighting over "stuff". Sometimes it's just prestige or hate.

[@Jose.Q_]

Great reaction 👍👍 ..... this movie is 1 of my favorites along side with (hotel Rwanda) movie , it's crazy how it's based on actual events of villagers being killed and people being killed over diamonds especially that long sleeve or short sleeve part .... There's a documentary about blood diamonds and it shows people that went through it .....in these kind of movies it shows how much of a consumer people are in each country to the point that it never crossed our minds on how alot of the African people got treated and what they go through just so that we can have things that sparkles when the sunlight hits it.....I'm pretty sure still to this day there's blood being spilled over diamonds

[@joelwillems4081]

But diamonds aren't rare. We don't need the conflict diamonds to satisfy sparkly jewelry. Besides Amsterdam having a vault of them, so do places in Russia and India. Places like DeBeers wants to keep the value high when they are probably worth 1/10th and 99% of people can't tell the difference with synthetics.

80% of diamonds are industrial, not jewelry. But, then, yeah, women are responsible for most diamond jewelry. But NFL or NBA or MLB championship rings always have diamonds in them. I don't know if they are synthetic or not. Maybe?

[@taylortyler1867]

I just watched your reaction to "The Shining" and _LOVED_ it. Y'all are so cute the way you hold each others hands during the scary parts. I had throat cancer and had my voice box removed, so I can't speak any more, so consequently I've become somewhat of a recluse and it means so much to me to feel like I'm watching movies and TV shows like you're here with me. I have a few suggestions for movie/TV series reactions Stephen King has many more movies made based on his books. I own all of his books, and love when they make movie adaptations of them: "Misery", "Big Driver", "A Perfect Marriage" and "Cujo" are other King movies based on novels and/or short stories. One of the best series I've ever seen, was "The Haunting of Hill House". It's a 10 episode mini series. It will scare you, make you cry and I think you'd love it. It's not Stephen King, but it sure _COULD_ be. Any way, keep up the great reactions. I love all of you guys.🥰

[@ThunderForce2000]

This is the movie where I really started to come around towards Leonardo DiCaprio. Wasn’t the biggest fan of him before as I just saw him simply as the ‘pretty boy’ actor; but Blood Diamond really changed my opinion.

[@myTERAexperience]

He did great in this, but I've been a Leo fan since The Man in the Iron Mask and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. The standout for me was Djimon Hounsou. Following Gladiator and this movie he quickly became someone i look forward to watching on the screen. If you haven't, you should check out What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Leo's role was really risky, and at such a young age as well.

[@s.marshian8455]

I always thought he was a solid actor but get what you’re saying. 2006 changed everyone’s perception after The Departed and Blood Diamond

[@joelwillems4081]

@@s.marshian8455 He should have easily gotten the Oscar when combining those two films into one year. Like Jim Carrey doing The Mask, Dumb & Dumber and Ace Ventura all released in 1994. 1987 Michael Douglas was in Fatal Attraction and Wall Street. Michael J. Fox was still the main reason to watch Family Ties as he was making the Back to the Future film.

[@oboogie2]

Many years ago, in the period when this movie takes place, I was to ride shotgun on a job to go down to Brazil and pick up a C-130 to ferry over to Sierra Leone. Then things really blew up over there and the job fell through. I remember that was a real wild west period in west and central Africa. I'm glad my life path took a different turn then.

While this story is no doubt fiction, elements of the story did happen. Sierra Leone did have a civil war, a Private Military Company called Executive Outcomes from South Africa was hired by the government to destroy the rebels. There is a good documentary called Shadow Company that is about private Military companies and in the documentary you could see and even hear (by the accent) where much of Blood Diamond got some parts of the story and characters.
