Blood Diamonds; Friend or Foe
Midnight movie: Blood Diamond
Time: 11.45p.m. - 2.15 a.m.
Location: TGV Cinemas at Hometown
A must watch.. thats what i can say for sure to all of you out there. How much power do you posses and how much does it affect the people around in the world? What kinda aftermath runs lose after your very actions... Questions after questions.. thats what this movie was to me.
As everything in this world, and God knows maybe the universe, everything is connected in ways we may never be able to apprehend in a our lifetimes. This movie was basically about how third world countries(namely African countries) are cruely and mercilessly used by first world countries to satisfy their demand and supply needs. A deadly cyle... which we do not know till what extent will it continue to hurt the people of the country. Moreover, it was about how this need, fueled other "tragedies" like terrorism, poverty and most importantly lost of young and potential great minds. In short, how diamonds, gold, oil and ivory turned the country into what it is right now.So what is this is place? To me, its living hell..see how your own kin kill each other for power, wealth and a ideology not worth fighting for.
Subsequently this rises a question from within me; How and why do we justify these actions that a party takes which may lead to greater and heavier consequences, rather than equal and opposite ? And is there an end to this "cycle"?
You may wonder how this applies to us in our lives, when we make decisions. Think about it, every action you take... what are these consequences...Is it worth it in the end? Is it the "right" way to go? Most likely a butterfly effect indeed. Renders me helpless thinking about it;Their countries sufferings. But hey, look at our country, we have our own problems too. So tell me watcha gonna do about it?
I cant help you with the answers to these questions only you can. So blood diamonds; Friend or Foe? You tell me... and what are blood diamonds? GO FIGURE
PS- Diamonds are womens best friends?hahhaa...sure, why not; bling- bang!
