- Hello friends,
This was a brilliant but extremely tough movie.
Brilliant acting especially by Djimon Hounsou!
For obvious reasons I cried during editing as well.
What are your thoughts?
See you next time!

How neither of them won an Oscar is mind blowing
Right?!
Djimon gives maybe the most powerful performance I've ever seen in a film. Love the reaction!
I don’t know how he didn’t win an Oscar
An absolutely brilliant movie and you did an awesome job of reacting to it. Thanks for posting!
🤗🤗 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😃brilliant movie for sure
This movie is so underrated. It's one of my favorite films ever
This is a great film, Leo really should have won an Oscar for his performance in this film! Also, I love your accent
Both him and Djimon were excellent. I am not a big Leo fan, but this role he played was definitely top tier, as you said, he should have won an oscar for sure. Thanks so much 🤗
I think this is a very hard movie to watch because it is based on horrific true-life events from the past that are still happening in other countries today. But I appreciate your commitment to selecting this worthwhile movie for your channel, and your heartfelt, thoughtful reaction to the story it told. I also really enjoyed your insightful comments on the characters from your perspective as an Afrikaner. You explained so many things that I would have never noticed since I have never been to Africa. Thank you, Lezy. Well done!
Also, thank you for taking the time to teach us the correct pronunciation of your first name. I was close, but my translation of Afrikaans consonants was a little bit off. :)
My pleasure William, it was extremely hard to watch, but glad it gave some different insights 🤗 and something I just had to check up afterwards that bothered me quite a lot, was the Cheetah, as there are not supposed to be Cheetahs in that side of the country, those animals are not bush area type animals, they need the open planes of Savannah as they cannot reach the speed they need in the bush like they would in the open Savannah
Leopards may survive there, but definitely not Cheetahs.
Glad my name pronunciation helped 🤗😄😃😀
i watch this movie or reactions to it for Djimon’s performance when i’ve been numb for too long and need to feel something, which is what i’m doing tonight. I remember when i was a kid and being beaten by my stepfather and imagine this was my dad coming to rescue me.
Thanks for the really good reaction. One of my favorite movies for sure.
A few things in this movie were done perfectly but 1 thing that always stuck out to me and if it wasn’t done perfectly it would have looked I don’t know awkward or not genuine - when Solomon & Simmons exchange diamond/money/Solomon’s family at the end. Solomon doesn’t even look at him. Eyes focused on the plane. Literally makes the exchange without even looking at Simmons, the diamond or the money. Powerful moment
Hello young lady , first chance I've had in awhile to watch a reaction , I'm a pretty tough old man , but this is a hard movie to watch . the depths men can sink to know no bounds . good job ! Rocky is a good choice , A good comedy to check out down the road is My Cousin Vinny i think you'd like it.
Thank you 🤗 I don't think I've ever seen My Cousin Vinny, I'll add that one to my list thanks
My mother's best friend always lived in South Africa, when Apartheid took place, during the night, well... they are lucky to be alive. Just left everything behind and run, eventually they managed to come home in Italy. Their son is a good friend of mine, he was a kid but still remembers Afrikaans. Sometimes when the topic comes up, I can see horror on his face. I never asked the details, and I will never.
my dad is american and worked for the us government for years in africa as an attache. I showed him this movie about five years after it came out and he immediately placed Leo’s accent as Zimbabwean, so i guess Leo did a pretty good job with it.
I’m saying it’s a real story, now… And you can write the hell out of it..
That moment got me..

This comment made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I liked this more than the Departed and I love The Departed.
Those two films are what single-handedly changed my opinion of Leo as an actor. He had been in plenty of great movies and great acting performances prior to these 2 movies, but for some reason i still thought of him as a teen/young-adult heart-throb, and was better actor than the average heart-throb, but at the end of the day had yet to transcend into the ranks of being a legit great actor - period. But then i saw these two flicks, and for some reason it just clicked for me, as i now consider him to be one of the top ten greatest actors of all time! This is the exact same sorta thing that happened with both Val Kilmer and Brad Pitt as well. Guys who were just the hot guy actor and nothing much beyond that, but then i saw "Kilmer in "Heat," "The Doors," and "Tombstone" and for Pitt is was "Fight Club," "Troy," and "Snatch" that completely changed my opinion on the two. Now i think of both of them the same as i do Leo, being in the top ten greatest of all time!. "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed" aren't just great cuz of Leo though, both of those films are absolutely brilliant as a whole. Going back to Leo's performances in these 2 movies specifically - I think they are without question Leo's best performances and it's an effin crime that he didn't win an Oscar for either role. It's funny that it took him until "The Revenant" to finally take home best actor, because though the movie and his acting were great - no doubt, but there are at least 5 other performances that topped it imo. Firstly it's the two i just mentioned, followed by his roles in "Inception," "Shutter Island," and "Catch Me If You Can"
Hi, I am very happy for you that this movie got to be posted, and also that you said your name pronounced in the beginning. I also wasn't sure what it was, so thank you for that. Happy for this and the rocky movies also, thank you and enjoy! 😊👍 smile.
I am very relieved that it got released so that you guys can enjoy it with me thanks!
I am looking forward to sharing the Rocky movies also with you guys and am sure it will go better,thanks for the encouragement all the time 🤗 enjoy!
Thank you very much, will do so, the rocky movies are pretty good, especially once you get into them. Once you have done rocky 1 and 2 you will be well into them, as I am sure you have heard only 5 is a bit different, but don't let that put you off 6 rocky balboa. It's a very solid show, don't want to give any spoilers away. Anyways thank you very much and enjoy! 😊👍
Hi, yeah sorry took so long for me to properly watch and comment on this show, we had load shedding and took forever to get back on line. So, I the lady in the movie, Jennifer connelly, was also in quiet a good show called dark water, just wanted to let you know, cool, thanks. Enjoy! 😊👍
Where are you from Colin? Because we also had load shedding, and having more the rest of the week. Are you also from South Africa? If so, that is awesome to know!
Yes, I am also from sa, from Johannesburg, I never thought to mention that ,sorry, yes we also have load shedding the rest of the week. Yeah I just thought you always knew. Thanks. 😊👍
Howzit. I'm one of those filthy exiled Rhodesians lolol His accent was really good for a rhodie that was from Salisbury but was s bit off for where I grew up in Gwelo. His chilipalapa is spot on for a jamaican lolol...... good to hear a familiar accent and inflection from your speech.
Howzit! Lolol! Good to hear from someone who is familiar with everything, I myself only have a friend who grew up in Rhodesia, so I don't have first hand experience. Have a great day! 🤗
this movie hit me right in the feels
Great reaction. Can you please react to Shawshank redemption? It's one of the greatest drama movie ever nade
7:32 i like the popups.
the "forgot he was a smuggler" was on-off before i could read it though
8/10⭐️
Sorry about that part, I meant actually to lengthen it, but got distracted somehow and completely forgot to fix it 🙈
Best reaction. Best movie ever
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks 🤗 A great movie indeed!
Hi, I only finished with this movie now, very tough movie to watch. But a very good reaction. Two movies I can think of from this movie are that Solomon was in a show amistad 1997 from Steven Spielberg and then Danny was in wolf of wall Street 2013, from Martin scosese, worth a look if you haven't seen them. Thank you. Enjoy! 😊👍
If it isn't Diamonds it is Lithium, or Cobalt or some other resource. 😢😢😢😭😭
this was a very deep movie and gave me a lot of emotion inside but it was a good movie and touched me in a lot of ways.😞 and did not know the guy who played the Mummy was in this.
Very deep and emotional movie indeed
9:54 i knew i'd enjoy all the south afrikan accents... yours and his
very under rated film..
15:39 doubletap 👍🏼✅
15:44 "that's what she said." 😁
15:48 "long range too."
Have you seen Lethal Weapon 2? Apartheid Afrikaners are the baddies in that one! Bring on the Rocky films!
I've probably seen it long ago.
I am honestly tired of the portrayals and stereo types of Afrikaners.
Thanks, will start with Rocky soon 😄
10:00 never look away! 😵
6:25 exactly 🤣
38:40 This hits you harder. Vi förstår
you should do a video where you read the lines of actors from South Afrika!
i like when you say cat. sounds like you pronounce it with a "k" and a "h" somewhere in there. 😺
😄
Danny Archer is Rhodesian
17:46 😥
Thank you for reacting to this movie. Natasha, do you think Leonardo DiCaprio did a convincing South African accent for this movie? Thank you for your response.
Glad you enjoyed it. Leonardo did not do an accurate accent in my humble opinion, however there were a few glimpses where he did nail it, but in general, it did not sound as much South African to me, it sounded very Jamaican mixed with British 🤷🏻♀️
Great reaction!!!
Please react to THE LASK KING OF SCOTLAND based in the country of Uganda.
14:08 🤣🤣💩🤣🤣
don't hold back, tell us how you really feel 🙂
3:58 uncomfortable to watch.

It is like jamaica cus its a creole, in this case west african variant
React to District 9 if you haven't seen it already!
33:10 Ja
Leo has a propensity to be very viscious and hot headed. Loot at him ravage that guy at 20:00.

Spelling is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
7:00 Rhodesia
5:05 +2 ✅
which guy is the guy?
The Van De Kaap guy
10:48 would the accent be similar to my ears? 🤔
The Rhodesian accent is more British than the South African accent, in some cases I guess it could sound similar to some people, but not to us South Africans no
22:36 i guess you don 't put it on cereal
Nope, guess not 😄😁🤣😆
24:00 låt oss inte parta för mycket här och nu
16:16 lewis? is that the word?
Doos 🙊🙊🙊🙈
@@unwindreactions6223 i'm going to start using it. doos.
can you use it in a sentence for me?
@@YoureMrLebowski the intention of it is to say someone is an a......hole, but the meaning of it (as a cus word) is way toooooo ugly for me to say in any sentence.
12:00 Recognize that från Die Antwoord. At least 4 different languages in that sentence ;)

24:28 its not google translate, its lezy translate
🤣🤣🤣🤣
hii how are you
I live in Australia and I met a lot of white south Africans who have left because of black people killing their family or holding them at knife point
Man I know that the situation in SA is insane 😮recently I read from SA girl that many white peoples were moving from there and today I confirming the big problem
Since Nelson Mandela we’re freed until today the country has been ruled by black peoples right. At the beginning was the ANC,now there are 3 big parties and a bunch of different parties fighting for rule the country and one of their premises is fighting for the land. I remember that Zimbabwe had that situation, they were killing the farmers and after that the country suffered famine for years. They are erasing the past, destroying cities,their history with your hate against the whites. I know a lot Africa history and I’m gonna give you an example:Angola was a Portugués colony and started his independence war that finished in 1974 right? In 1975 the Civil war and SA war started at the same time and tons of Cubans flocked the country. Many professional people, doctors, teachers engineers were there trying to lift the country for 15 years. Many Angolan studied in Cuba and the results ?😮😮😮😮😮 nothing. Like Angola are many African countries, the problem is in the continent. Over the years many organizations are funding money and food for Africa. The science trying to control plagues and deseases all the time. All the time the continent is consumed by étnica and tribal wars, millions are dispersed like in the movie and every body blaming the colonizers. “They “ claiming their country but who are they?. The situation is critical
@@omaramador4669it's the influence of colonization
