Blood Diamond
“So you’re a fisherman? What do you catch mostly?”
“Fish.”
99% of people you know don’t even know Sierra Leone had a civil war. Probably just 20% of that 1% actually know something about it.
This is probably the best depiction of guerrilla warfare, conflict, war morality in media. Solomon Vandy and Danny Archer are the best characters i’ve seen yet. I don’t like how Vandy was kinda pushed to the side but I see why it’s necessary to prove the films point — on purpose or not. The whole film kinda feels like a dream from Vandy’s perspective.
That scene where Vandy kills the Colonel 🧑🍳 💋
This film manages to depict so much violence and conflict without being over top with it.
Journalism is dead btw. so is objective morality
In another life?
