It’s a sad thing about Blood Diamond. An important story that ought to be told and told well, but here they’ve framed bleak reality with any number of Western tropes, archetypical characters, and a stream of inane dialogue (every word that comes out of Jennifer Connelly’s mouth is unbelievable). Africa is sad enough without “one man’s search for his family and his son’s soul!” and other tangents. So: a lock for a Best Picture nomination.
