Blood Diamond (2006)
10/10
Best Motion Picture of the Year
19 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
When i saw the Trailer i told my friends Djimon Honsou will be nominated for on Oscar. Of Course my friends didn't know who i was talking about, but i told them who i meant.

In January i turned out do be right. He became nominated for best actor in a supporting role. I am telling you this, because the reason why I actually saw this movie in the theater's is, that Djimon did NOT win the Oscar. So i wanted to know, for what reason they did not give him that award.

Two days after the Academy Awards i went to the cinema and watched the movie with my girlfriend. She is an actress and i am a screenwriter.

After about ninety minutes i said to my girlfriend. F*** departed, F*** babel, this is the best motion picture of the year. I mean it is so important. And its REAL. That is why it is so important.

When the movie was over, i remained motionless for about ten minutes. i never did that before. But i just could not stop crying.

When we were leaving the theater's i said to my girlfriend. I can certainly see, why Leonardo did not win the Oscar for best Actor in a leading role. Djimon should have. I mean, i cannot possibly think for any reason, why Djimon's character is supposed to be a supporting character.

Now i can only give you the advise to go an watch that movie. That is all i can do.

EDIT:

I want to add something, and i want you to know i added it. Last week i saw Blood Diamond the second time and - I don't know what to say, it is just amazing. Until 90th minute i didn't rellay watch the movie, i just listend to the dialogue cause i was doing something else. At the end, at some point i realized that i was crying. I did'nt even notice when i started to cry. This story, these characters are so intense. And you do not realize during the first two hours.

I made this experience before with The English Patient. All the time i thought i wouldn't care but in the end i was fluid.
