Movie: Blood Diamond (Review)
I’m so going to hell for this post.
So I just got finished watching Blood Diamond and to be honest it was a pretty good movie. The actors seemed to be well cast, the plot was fairly steady and there were enough explosions to keep me awake. Overall entertainment value for the movie was pretty high, since I’m usually not one for movies with any real meaning or purpose.
There is only one catch: When the credits started rolling I wanted to shoot innocent people in the face. Now wait, hear me out! In the movie there were kids laughing and joking, drinking, doing drugs, setting stuff on fire and shooting innocent villagers at point blank range. There is a part of me thinking “That is awful” but at the same time I have the devil on the other shoulder saying “Dude, you didn’t do any of that. Your childhood sucked”. I wish they’d at least show the kids getting killed or something, they made it look too cool to be a bad guy. Oh and did I mention that the kids got cool nicknames like ‘The Destroyer’ and ‘Babykiller’? Well they did. It made evil look awesome.
Final score: 8/10
