I think Blood Diamond has to be my favourite film of all fucking time. Everything about it is beautiful, powerful and moving- the acting, the set, the narrative, the soundtrack…it is a masterpiece with a message. Not to mention how hot Leonardo Dicaprio is as a South African. 

This is the film that solidified my want to become a travelling photojournalist. If you haven’t seen it, GO AND BUY IT ON DVD. 

It caused controversy for not being 100& factually accurate, but it still does the job of conveying several social and political messages to an audience without being preachy- a task I think I lot of people don’t understand the difficulty of doing until they’re making a film.
