ditulis pada tanggal 21 Pebruari 2007

Title:
Blood Diamond

Director:
Edward Zwick

Cast:
Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, Jennifer Connelly

Plot:
Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) - a South African mercenary - and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) - a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon - who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.

Note:
Nonton film ini sempet kesel, gara2 beli yang bejekan yang lama, di tengah2 ngadat trus gue skip sampe 4 menit. Eh abis itu pake duluan gambar daripada suaranye. Ugh bete de!
Eh kemaren kebeneran ada yang ‘nganterin’ DVD ini yang rada bagusan. Tuntas deh gue nonton nih film, meskipun masih perlu ujian bahasanya Bang Tony Blair.
Nih film sumpeh asyik. Ngga salah sih karena sutradaranye kan juga yang direct Last Samurai. Visualisasinya bikin permainan emosi yang naik turun dan mengharu biru. Tapi gaya film ini ngga Hollywood banget!! Ngga sederhana dalam karakterisasi. Karakter2 di film ini semuanya kompleks. Dan menurut gue ketiga aktor utama cukup sukses memerankan karakter masing2.
Terus terang gue cukup bangga dengan Leonardo karena perkembangan actingnya cukup bagus. Cukup meningkat juga dibanding di The Departed. Kali ini gue melihat Leonardo yang berbeda. Di film ini actingnya sudah lebih maju daripada mendengus dan merengut aja. Gesture sebagai mercenary cukup meyakinkan. Kalo istri gue bilang sih: Danny Archer is Solomon Vandy’s Guardian Angel!
Jennifer Connelly pas banget jadi jurnalis. Wajah yang smart and beautiful.
Mr. Hounsou meyakinkan sebagai family man.
Pokoke mantap kabeh!
