blood diamond and the earth....

I had an opportunity to see the end of this movie tonight (again). This time I had a different point of view. This scene is a description of my life at the moment. Everyone is trying to get ahead, to win the race. The finish line is there for Dicaprio and Hoonsou, they can both see it. They have endured so much to get to this point. Dicaprio is unable to continue on the journey. He had no choice and with tears in his eyes, he gave up the diamond to Hoonsou. Hoonsou did right with the diamond and justice was served. Dicaprio has a legend that lives on after he has died. This movie represents America in the tragedy. I wonder why Dicaprio, Hoonsou, his son, and Maddy can't enjoy the perks of having such a big diamond. I guess that is where the "fallen" part of man comes in. Good things have to come to an end. That is one of the most depressing things about being on this planet. Just when you think that things are looking up, something happens and blows up your happiness. I don't understand why that is always there? The scene brings a tear to my eye for it's romantic pull. The conversation is pure. Both people, who met b/c fate put them together, are mutually attracted to each other and everything they say is so heartfelt. In a time such as this conversation, both characters understood that this would be the last time they would speak. They let it all hang out. I can't imagine how awesome conversations would be if everyone spoke this way in all conversations. That is what I want to find. In all of this sadness you are feeling for what Maddy is going through. She has no way of knowing what might have been with Dicaprio. She has to live in complete uncertainty. That is a rough feeling. You also are very happy that Hoonsou and his family are reunited. As far as we know, Hoonsou and his family live happily ever after. So many emotions are wrapped into this scene. That is why it is so great. Not to mention that Dicaprio nails the South African accent the entire movie. He is a great actor. I hope cyberspace enjoys the scene as much as I have.
