The gorge where Leo dies is where I grew up and lived for 20 years. It’s called Kloof Gorge and it’s in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa where the majority of this movie was filmed 😊
Hey you ever been to that island in the middle of the Atlantic? I remember a bunch of S. African accents.
Nou weet ek en nou will ek daar gaan hike. Dankie.
Djimon Housman is absolutely fantastic in this movie. He should’ve won an Oscar for his performance

"sometimes i wonder if god will ever forgive us for what we've done to each other. then i look around and realize, god left this place a long time ago" --- one of my favourite quotes
Mine too!! 🤔
God hasn't left us, but many have left him. That's why there is choas.
@@obdiane speak for yourself man!! 🤦
@@christiancarranza1003 I am speaking from my point of view., i.e my opinion.
@@obdiane 👍
African conflict diamonds are still a big problem today...I loved this movie, but could only watch it once knowing these kind of things happen there even today , and the ending...Danny may have been a selfish bastard, but found is humanity in the end and sacrificed himself for Solomon.
I haven't soften up for him. What other choice did he have? The pilot wasn't a medic and neither was Solomon. Had he made it to the top, there's no chance he survived the flight trip. He knew he was going to die and if he kept the stone with his corpse, the soldiers would have taken it. Giving it to Solomon was the only choice he had.
@@Kingen661 um, he could've killed Solomon for it...
@@joeberger3441 I mean't when he died. Why kill him then and let the soldiers take the diamond?
@@Kingen661 he could've not helped him in the first place. Or could've used him to get the diamond and then killed him
@@joeberger3441 Have you seen the movie? He wanted to help Solomon because he was the only one who knew where the diamond was. If he never helped him, he would not have gotten the diamond.
And he had no reason to kill him. Solomon never wanted the diamond in the first place, all he wanted was his son and he was happy with letting Danny keep the diamond.
"My mom was r*ped and shot and my dad was decapitated and hung from a hook."
"I think she likes him!"
I swear men and women care about wildly different things.
I wonder if my comment will be auto-deleted if I actually write the word "rape." I doubt it, but I could be wrong.
No, don't generalise all women into the same basket.
I swear they get like that every time a love interest is introduced, (so long as he or she is hot) it's actually annoying at this point😑
@@jairusjackson7799 this is not my case personally thank you for not generalizing 🤦🏽♀️
@@SeenaSeena04 Yeah I'm only referring to the homies in this comment, not people in general
Leo and Djimon deserved oscars for this movie!!
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. :)
@@joelwillems4081are you not aware that Leo won Best Actor for The Revenant in 2015?
@@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.
Djimon won an Oscar for it (Best 2nd role)
I've rewatched that telephone scene so many times. Great acting from both makes it so heartbreaking.
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...
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.
This is one of the great fictional movies that depicts real world events. Thank you ladies for watching it. I know you had questions about the why of the rebels doing what they do to their own people. The best movie to answer that in my opinion is tears of the sun with Bruce Willis. It is older than blood diamond but it focuses more on the division of the people in Africa.
I came to say that!! Cos while leo an his story is at best very loosely based or fiction most of the other people are real , the colonel for example , my grandad worked for "the company" heros at the beginning but bad choices including the Seychelles fiasco in the 80s 😫 we think my grandad died in prison there but only knowing his real name wasn't enough to find out and no one who was in it wants to talk about it 😔
Tears of the sun killed me i thought the Italian lady was amazing in that movie and even Bruce being the cold calculated officer was awesome , that scene in the village eh?🥺
@@BipoIarbear exactly even TIA doesn’t cover that. Do not fire unless fired upon my ass.
Such a powerful movie. Djimon Hounsou's performance was unforgettable
Leo’s best acting
I worked in the international diamond industry in the 1980s and early 90s. The stuff i have seen you might not believe. This movie is not bad. It gets a lot right but some key stuff wrong. First off, illicit diamond buyers - IDBs in industry jargon - were nearly all lebanese. It was the private military companies’ job to provide ‘security’ on the mines but also to hunt the IDBs in the bush. The way that was organised defies description. It was kind of as depicted but a lot more personal and IDB hunters operated in very small teams. The security operations involved a lot more more british. And where they came from and how they got there might surprise people. Later there were nutcase russians and soviet ethnics. One of those teams even had a mil hind soviet helicopter. They used to get blasted on whatever alcohol they could find then fly around shooting up the bush with it.
The big error is where the diamonds went. They never went to london. They went to Antwerp - specifically the CSO office there. IDBs would only sell there to the CSO. You went in amd your diamond would be purchased, no questions asked and you take whatever price is offered. Back then CSO was a worldwide cartel. No one else would buy a conflict diamond because if they did they’d lose their right to their ‘sight’ of CSO cartel diamonds. Nothing to do with ‘best price’. Also, theres no way a CSO guy would do business outside the Antwerp office on a conflict diamond. Security on diamonds was always unbelievably tight (except in india, where the small shit is cut) and discretion was the priority.
CSO stands for central selling organisation. There was CSO Central (london) and CSO Zurich. CSO Zurich holds the biggest corporate secret in the world: what diamonds are held in the CSO Vaults in the mountains in zurich? Thats what the last scene is.
CSO was a de beers front to avoid sanctions on south Africa. That worked because of who these people were connected to, but eventually the cartel was broken up because of the Russians and canadians flooding the market and because of the USA busting the CSO for cartel activities. When that happened there was no real demand for conflict diamonds anyway, except for angolan green cubes. Thats how the kimberley protocol came about.
With the profits gone, Executive Outcomes and Sandline International moved on to dumber and more risky things.
A guy like danny archer would never exist: IDBs and the PMCs were blood enemies. Noone ever crossed that line. Also, to do that would be way too risky. Just thinking about anyone doing that boggles my mind. You’d be dead in 5 minutes if you did that.
Yeah ...
But if it's too factually correct, somebody in the production team might get murdered. Or maybe just get sued for defamation.
You must convince and reminds everybody that this movie is a fiction.
It doesn’t really matter about all it got wrong, it’s a fictional story with fictional elements, but it’s about a real issue, and it brings awareness to that issue
@@TheReeelBradPitt ah, no. This is no longer an issue. Russian and canadian diamonds, de beers/cso’s deal with the USA, and the kimberley process effectively killed it, along with the dying out of the civil wars being fought by warlords.
Great film..Really showed SOME of the Tragic Results of certain Places in Africa where there are No active Governments😢..In some areas it’s not Illegal to Simply Murder people because they’re not of the Same Region
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
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.
That's the actor that was the best friend of the Gladiator from the movie
a great movie and forgotten performance of Dicaprio. I love this movie.
Back in the day when Leo was an Oscar try hard.
Lol I never forget this one, mainly bc it was same year as The Departed. Leo killed it that year.
@@fajaradi1223what does that even mean? He’s a try hard because he kept getting nominated? Is it his fault he’s a good actor in good movies?
"I can't stand this injustice, but...I'll still vote for the people whom gain from this 😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣
Finally, a channel i sub to reacts to Blood Diamond. This is a good one girls.
When you watch this and you realise how many guns there are and how many bullets are shot and you can't stop thinking of the movie "Lord of War" 👀🤔
I'm thinking War Dogs and their one deal for 100,000,000 rounds of ammo. Paying 2 1/2 cents per round to the Albanians.
This movie was the saddest that I’ve seen in my life but the reaction was good as well thanks homies ❤❤😊
Watch Schindler’s list, that one is also very sad
@@TheReeelBradPitt ok my friend I’ll watch that thanks 👋🏻👋🏻
@@AnthoTvReacts24 hope you like it 👍
@@TheReeelBradPitt yeah thanks for the suggestion my friend
For context the film is based on the civil war in Sierra Leone. The capital slaughter we see in the beginning is a real event that happened.
Those batteries that power all the cool "electric vehicles".............. Guess where they come from....
Loved the reaction! Lia is as emotional as I am. So much heart
Blood Diamond Is beautiful movie. If you think, you are brave enough, then watch Hotel Rwanda. One of my favourite movies about African modern history and genocide in Rwanda in 1994. I cried multiple times as grown man while watching it. It’s very powerful and cruel movie. Nice video tho. :)
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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.🥰
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.
50:00 Men cry here too
I am writing this to help out these ladies and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️
26:30 Those holes are called potholes.
Michelle has the biggest crush on Leo & she cannot hide it.
You all could distract a guard lol
One of my favourite movies 💕💕💕
Very underrated film
The child soldiers was a real thing. They found that children were easy to train, indoctrinate, that they are very loyal and can be totally brutal. So it was a strategy used.
Yep ...
This is also the reason why almost nobody is willing to host and take cares of ex - IS is refugees. Even though they were mostly just woman's and children's.
Nobody wanna know what have been taught to this childrens, but we do know that it might be irreversible.
Was, and still is. Happens everyday within gangs as well.
@@s.marshian8455 Youre 100% right. Also kids are less likely to get picked up and also less charged by the laws. They are also very easily expendable 'mules'.
@@fajaradi1223 I think a lot of the problem there is the indoctrination at such a young age. Connections in the brain at that age become really solid. 😞
You guys need to watch the movie The Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy
Ladies you should react to THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. African subject with a scottish main character! You will love it and we will rejoice in your reactions. :))
"...I'm where I'm supposed to be.." ~ Archer.
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.
Everyone here asked and commented everything but no one ever ask, "What does a baboon taste like?" Im just curious lol 😂
The woman on the left felt nothing 😂😂😂
"I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be ..."
One of favorite movies ever!!!
Amazing movie great reaction you girls should watch law abiding citizen with Jamie foxx and Gerard butler
I highly recommend that you should watch “Tears of the Sun”!
A simple, partial solution is to stop buying diamonds?
Great channel, girls! If I may suggest you guys should watch "CITY OF GOD" ("Cidade de Deus" - Brazil, 2002) one of these days! It is a little hard, but it's a masterpiece from Brazilian Cinema! 😉
Welcome to the jungle, we have fun and games.
Nice Reaction ladies
And 16 years after this film was made, this $&^% is still going on in parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Child soldiers, forced labor, unsafe mining.... I have a hard time believing it will end in my lifetime.
Nothing will change until governments go full scorched earth on the scum in suits doing this. No trial, just bullet to the face.
Some people will always exploit other people. Wars will always start. But hopefully we fight one battle at a time and help as many as we can.
Unbelievable, yes?
BD was the first Di Caprio movie I saw after Titanic and i was like.... WTF this actor is good ... ( i was little then ) :D As for the movie... it's great
see please children of men , the kigdom and tears of the sun
Hello guys, you should react to the movie Taken with Liam Neeson. All my love from México!!
They have, it’s in their members only list. It’ll be up on their main channel at some point
@@B0mber44 Thanks you so much
Love this movie
4:00 May I remind you that Woman are for 99% of diamond purchase around the world
How many men care about it?
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?
You guys should react to tears of the sun with Bruce Willis
That scene when Solomon was talking to his son trying to get the gun from him and he said I know they made you do bad things and his son started crying because he still has a good heart that's like when Goku was fighting Frieza and Frieza said you see just a Beast Goku said I rather be a Mindless monster then a heartless Beast like you so my point is even though DIA mind was taking over my drugs and he couldn't think clearly anymore but his heart was still the same that's why his dad was able to get through to him
Whether it was the government or the rebels in this film, the civilians will always suffer as a result from both sides.
Well from what I understand the UK and private mercenaries helped stabilize the sierra Leone government by the end of the civil war.
@@jonathanramos8414 Sierra Leone should have just stayed under British rule.
Thank you for reactioning to this special movie!! "Blood Diamond" is one of my favorites movies of all time :) It gives a powerful and pensive message to us all 🥰🥲🙏.
This movie along with documentaries about blood diamonds made me decide I'd never purchase jewelry.
Question is, will you?
Conveniently enough, synthetic (lab made) diamonds, rubies, and other gemstones are cheaper, and actually more structurally flawless. They shine brighter for half the price and none of the bad karma.
Me myself never fancy for any kind of body accessories.
You're beautiful just the way you are. No need for a bling - bling.
what is the point of wearing a shiny stone? I never understood that. I am never going to buy a fcking stone.
If that its, people better go outside and find hundred of stone and love all stone the same.
PLEASEEE react to Jarhead by Jake Gyllenhal 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
The resource curse!
Hey girls!! are you still want a diamond ring?
Very thought provoking great film
Start a bidding war . What like one war isn’t enough ? Leo . You got any smokes Brew ?

You should react to The Quick And The Dead 1995

If they’re gonna cut your hands off or shoot you in the head I would take the risk of swallowing it instead of putting it in between my toes
