STORY vs. ESSAY

The movie that I've watched that revealed the truth about life is "BLOOD DIAMOND". The movie, says alot about the behind the scenes that jewlery lovers, especially Diamond buyers don't see. As far as they know, diamonds comes from Africa but what they do not know is the price (what it cost: life, the struggles, the way of living) that was paid by the Africans to export those diamonds to the Uninted States or other continents.

The truth the movie, BLOOD DIAMOND revealed is the abuse that the country of Sierra Leon encountered not only physicall, but as well as mentally and emotionally. It went into details as to what people would do just for materialistic things such as money and Diamonds. It also, shows the risks that some leaders would take their country through just to show who has the upper hand against other countries. The truth was revealed mainly through War: killing of families, War between Sierra Leon's army and Somwhat of America's or other country.

This movie, clearly illusrates what the real world is like today. For example, the War going on between U.S and Iraq. What exactly are these two countries fighting for? How is this fight benefiting the citizens of these two countries? This war is doing nothing but killing the soliders who dedicated their lives for their country to win the respect and honor of their country with little to no knowledge of the REAL PURPOSE why this war is still going on.

Overall, the movie, "BLOOD DIAMOND " reveals alot of the truth about life through war, pain and agony. However, not a lot of people knows the truth about these diamonds and the lifes that were given up for it. The saying : "diamonds are a gilr's best friend" is an ignorance saying because not all girls knows the truth behind those shining diamonds.
