Blood diamond movie's answer

1. Do you think the violence depicted in the film is necessary to accurately portray the situation in Sierra Leone in 1999?
I think yes. It's sure that sometime, it was a little bit hard but after all, we all know how it is in Sierra Leone

2. The film began and ended in Antwerp, Belgium. How did events in Belgium relate to events in Sierra Leone?
Because the belgian were one of the first to go in Africa and to make the africans be their slave.

3. Why did Danny Archer become involved in the conflict diamond trade?
Because he was tired to see rich people having the power when he was in the army, so he decieded that the diamond trade could be the best way to win money

4. In the beginning of the film, all Danny seems to care about is himself. At the end of the film,
however, he is willing to die to protect Solomon. What prompted Danny's change of heart?
I think it's due to Salomon. Danny saw that for Salomon, his family's love was more important than everything and, certainly, that the love has more power than money.

5. What tactics does the RUF use to turn children into soldiers?
Turn them against their parents and also to let them think that they (RUF) are their new family.

6. Name one of the human rights issues addressed in the film. Did the film help you to
understand this issue and will you take more interest in this issue in the future? Why?
One of the human right is the slave people. It's sure that the movie will make me think about that issue.

7. Do you feel differently about diamond jewelry now that you have seen the film?
A little bit more. But it's sure that not all the diamonds are blood diamond.

8. Did you like the film. Why or why not?
I really like this movie. I think that it was a great way to talk about an issue and also to have a great action movie.
