Blood Diamond

Today, Lenzja, Chee Cheong and I decided at a spur of a moment to go to KLCC to watch movie. At first our plan was to go to the Eye On Malaysia, but many of our classmates cancelled in the end. Since it was just the 3 of us, we said that we will wait till the next public holiday to go together with everyone...

Reached KLCC and went to get tickets for the movie. As i was walking towards the ticket counter, i bumped into my ex-classmate from Miri! I haven't seen him since Primary 5 and it was totally a shock to see him. He was also shocked that i still could recognise him even after 10 years? I still can remember his full name, David Ting Ming Yee! cool eh....

and so.....Blood Diamond is a good show, you guys should go watch it....But remember, please don't bring your kids. Its very gruesome and bloody, totally not suitable for kids to watch... it even grossed me out!

Leonardo was good and has matured loads since Titanic! His versitily in acting is one that i admire! The movie had loads of violence but had a bit of soft touch to it in terms of love, both between family, and between 2 people who found love unexpectedly!

The movie is about how diamond is smuggled out of Africa thru the torture and killings of their own people. How kids were exploited into killers are just too heart-breaking. The kids were brain washed to believe that everyone is against them and those against then should die! This group of people are called the RUF (a terrorist group formed in the 1980s in Sierra Leone and they seek to overthrow the government and gain control of the diamond producing regions. They are also responsible for attacks on civilians and children, widespread torture and murder and using children to commit atrocities and sponsored by the president of Liberia), Revolutionary United Front.

At least the show ended where one sacrifices his own life for the reunion of a family. Touching at very heart-warming despite what the people who were victimized suffered worse that one could imagine!

Go watch this movie!! and by the end of the movie, you'll make sure the next diamond you buy, may it be a ring, a pendant or just a simple diamond, be a conflict-free diamond!!!
