Let's not talk about the theme of this movie, just for a movie, let's focus on whether it wants to clearly explain the theme it wants to talk about and successfully infect its audience, and at the same time, for an audience, It is also important whether a film's story is told beautifully or not.
Personally, I think it doesn't matter what the creator's original intention is for a good story, the most important thing is what the final result is. The appeal to be expressed in "Blood Diamond" is very obvious, but we can also see that the creator has not forgotten to try his best to express this theme through a beautiful and twisted story, instead of the blunt dialogue and the stereotyped plot of the characters like the main theme movies in China Monotony, this may be the expression of the maturity of the film industry.
I have to say that, despite this, many plots of "Blood Diamond" are actually a bit vulgar and deliberate, whether between the conscientious smuggler Danny Archer and the upright and kind Solomon, or between Archer and the female reporter. The relationship between them all seem familiar, and the war, child soldiers, diamond mining transactions, etc. should all be points that should be determined before the story is conceived, so you can see that as the story progresses, these points will pass from time to time. The dialogues or encounters of the characters jump out a bit, but generally speaking, the handling is not abrupt, although it may make people feel deliberate.
The adventure story of finding the pink diamond has no twists and turns, and the love story of the hero and heroine does not unfold well and deeply; while Leonardo and Hounsou go from hostility, and then venture together to find the diamond and rescue it. The series of conflicts and evolutions of the son of the author, and before Leonardo died in the end, the two had become friends is remarkable. The portrayal of the film also reflects the film's financial investment and rather sophisticated production, at least visually it has made people feel "good-looking".
Can't say it's a very good movie, but it strikes a good balance between theme and story, and at least from a commercial point of view it's a good demonstration.
As for blood diamonds, as well as luxury goods such as furs and shark fins, poor people like us are born with the objective advantage of boycotting. We express our sympathy to the African people in the film without hindrance and express our strong feelings to the buyers and sellers of diamond transactions. The condemnation and thanks for the movie gave the poor 13s who couldn't afford diamonds a good excuse to laugh at themselves, and it's a pity that if the movie were made a little better and the impact was wider, the poor 13's girlfriends or wives or Will be embarrassed to ask for diamonds condescendingly.
