I cry like a baby every time I watch this movie. Especially when his son points the gun at him near the end. Soloman's unwavering resolve to get his son back is absolutely beautiful. As a father myself I would go to the end of time for my family.
The cows wait for you 😭😭
The conversation he and Archer have while walking together in the wilderness always interests me.
To Solomon, family is everything, while Archer has neither thought nor cared about having a family.
One of the best movies of the 2000’s
Archers death really struck me…when he’s dying you can see him grab a handful of dirt 27:49. This is a reference to when he was talking to the colonel earlier in the flim 8:34. Archer truly never left africa.
This movie really made me look at my jewelry differently & the what the value and cost of a diamond really was.
It's a strange dichotomy. It's basically a monopoly, if you don't go through one of the big 3 diamond companies it's called a Blood diamond.
Like say a poor villager found a diamond tomorrow, he can't actually sell it, in fact if he tries to sell it he will be arrested.
It needed to happen to stop the kind of scenes in this movie but at same time it's stripped everyday Africans of the right to sell a diamond they find and lift themselves out of poverty.
Like a catch-22.
@@noelienoelie8425 And the most sickening part of it all is that we can now make diamonds to a quality that nature never could. We can make perfect diamonds in the lab.. Make them whatever color you want too.. But then that's not the point. The point is to own something no one else can get.
@@dnrob7 Such is the human way it seems, just look at those nft things.
Man, one of my personal favorites. I still remember seeing this in theaters with my dad. Djimon Honsou, who played Solomon, immediately became one of my favorite actors of all time. Says so much when you can out-act DiCaprio, and I believe he did.
I've watched this movie 10+ times and it makes me cry everytime. And here I am watching a reaction tearing up again.
Breaks my fucking heart
Djimon Hounsou is such a good actor! I think he is one of the best actors of our generation. If you haven't watched Amistad, you really should do it. Hounsou plays Cinque, an African Mende tribesman who is captured by slavers and sent to Cuba (owned by Spain at the time). The slaves revolt, killing the slavers, but have no idea where they are or how to get back to Africa. The ship drifts until it's picked up by the US Coast Guard. The movie is the story of the legal battle for what to do with them and their status. Are they people or goods that can be salvaged and resold? The US Supreme Court ended up resolving the case in 1841.
Same guy who made Last Samurai. Brilliant director.
Wow I looked up Edward Zwick. He made Glory too!
How tf did I not know that? 🤔
Or maybe I did know & just simply forgot! 🙃🙂
I would recommend Beast of No Nation, but that film is even harder to stomach than this one. Great movie, great reaction!
I love that movie
Cried the first time I watched it. Now that I have 2 kids of my own I cry even harder. I feel this guys parental pain way too hard. One of my favorites in my favorite channel. Thank you man!🙏🏽
I don’t think any channel has reacted to this absolutely incredible movie ❤️✌️
It's a little bit underrated movie . This is a phenomenal film with full of phenomenal actors . One of my favourite. Your reaction was great man ! Really enjoyed it. 🙂😎
Best movie that I have ever watched only once. Leo and Djimon should have gotten Oscars.
This is definately one of my favorite movies. Leo's acting in this movie is incredible.
Man I remember seeing this a long time ago and it being so hard to watch knowing shit like that actually happens to kids and people. Really makes you think and appreciate the gift of a peaceful life
When he dies on the hill in the end is the only time I've ever teared up in any film ever.
Oh, I forgot to mention that one of the songs played in this film (during the scene where the RUF celebrates the siege of Freetown, called Baai) features the rapper Emmanuel Jal, who was a child soldier who survived and became a musician. Amazing artist, thought you might appreciate that.
Correction: it was during the montage of the RUF training the child soldiers and giving them drugs, not the Freetown siege. Nonetheless, the juxtaposition of such a lovely song with the horror occurring in the scene was a stroke of genius.
I think you’d really dig falling down with Michael Douglas. One of the best movies out the 90s
I second this!
I third! One of Robert DuVall’s best movies
Is that the movie the foo fighters based there music video of "Walk" on?
@@firewarrior5828 yea that be it!
@@markl4781 I thought so
Another great movie Choice. you're going to absolutely love this movie.
This is one of my favorite movies!! OMGGGG smh being African it’s so deep watching this. A lot of the wars there is because of their raw materials it is so sad. This movie and Hotel Rwanda are must sees so that you can know the history.
The fact that DeCaprio was in this and The Departed in the same year and didn't win best actor is ridiculous
How the hell did Leo not win an Oscar for his performance?
His movie "The Departed" which came out the same year won many awards :) also "The Prestige" came out the same year and won a lot.
This movie is Extremely Poweful and uncovers some of the Evils of the world... the most moving part is when Simmons holds the diamond to the light as Solomon embraces his family...
A movie that flies under the radar is Hotel Rowanda, Don Cheadle and Joaquin Phoenix, Got an 8.1 IMDb rating, True story sad story, but also heroic
My father is a jeweller - middle class. He makes rings mostly. I remember when I was a kid, it was a way before this movie come out, when he told me: "I'm always wandering what lives were took and what happened in general, so I can forge that little thing into that shiny metal". My father and my mother never wore any jewellry. And he did not liked it when my sister wanted one.
EDIT: It's our way of life defines more lifes that we can imagine.
You should watch Amistad. It stars Djimon Hounsou. And a cast with too many stars to mention. It is a true story about a mutiny on a slave ship. It’s an incredibly powerful film.
This movie was a lot better than I thought it would be. 2 great characters.
This was/is a great film.
You really need to watch his movie “the revenant” the movie that won him the Grammy awards
He should have won one for this movie
Agreed
@@prollins6443 that could be said about a lot of his films tbh
you keep hitting up bangers almost everyday now. keep it up bro. this is dope
It's one of my favorite movies. If you're interested in seeing the real warlords of this time period, you should check out the documentary: Cannibal Warlords of Liberia. It's on TH-cam and it shows in more detail of these kid soldiers and one of the most hated men in the wars, General Buttnaked.
An excellent movie, showing the truth about Africa, including that Africa needs her whites, as was slipped into the script. His accent was pretty spot on: did you hear how he 'obtained' his accent? He sacked the voice coach after filming the first scene, and went to find and spend time with real South African mercenaries to learn their accent; only, his character was Rhodesian, not South African, but we can let that slide as he joined the SADF, too. The talk of the 32 Battalion was precious, indeed.
I'm a South African, half Afrikaner, so Afrikaans is my 2nd language, and this film is quite invaluable for me, too.
Two untruths in this film, sadly: the Executive Outcomes PMC, under Colonel Eeben Barlow, the true story behind this film, neither took diamonds nor traded them while wiping out the diamond rebels, in Sierra Leone, in '99, before the UN peace keepers from the UK were called in, instead.
This is one of my favorite movies. By far my favorite Leo film.
This film deserves nothing less than a 10+++. In my opinion, this is Leonardo DiCaprio's greatest work. I've met and worked with several South Africans and spent some time with refugees who were rescued from the RUF and groups like them. His accent was spot on. Also, these poor kids are never the same. If you wish to see another film, based on true events, which touches on the subject of child soldiers check out Machine Gun Preacher.
An excellent movie, showing the truth about Africa, including that Africa needs its whites, as was slipped into the script. His accent was 95% spot on: did you hear how he 'obtained' his accent? He sacked the voice coach after filming the first scene, and went to find and spend time with real South African mercenaries to learn their accent; only, his character was Rhodesian, not South African, but we can let that slide.
Two untruths in this film: the Executive Outcomes PMC, under Colonel Eeben Barlow, the true story behind this film, neither took diamonds nor traded them while wiping out the diamond rebels, in Sierra Leone, in '99. I have several sources to confirm that.
@Colin-to1nv Yes, sir. Of course, Hollywood is going to take its liberties to sell more tickets.
I highly recommend Sometimes in April! It is a great movie, and its similar to this movie, and it might make you cry.
It's always a good day when Devin uploads
I saw this at the cinema at 20 not knowing anything about it. On a first date with a girl I met the week before. Half way through the film I forgot she was even there next to me. I tried my hardest not to tear up in front of her on the first date. But when he dies on the hill at the end I couldn't hang on any longer. We ended up together for years after.
This is Leo's like top 5 best roles right here. He killed it.
Oh my God it was so hard for me to watch this movie!! I literally only watched it 1 1/2 times because I couldn’t get through the 2nd time. I was on edge watching this reaction.
This movie changed me. I picked up A Long Way Gone after this. Child Soldiers, blood diamonds, the rape of Africa. Its devastating.
This film is so moving, so much heartless greed and pillaging of Africans' resources and prospects, even today, still.
Still: An excellent movie, showing other, precious truths about Africa, too, including that Africa needs its whites, as was slipped into the script.
Two untruths in this film, as Hollywood makes sure it is...: the Executive Outcomes PMC, under Colonel Eeben Barlow, the true story behind the South Africans in this film, neither took diamonds nor traded them while wiping out the diamond rebels, in Sierra Leone, in '99. That's what happened before the UN peace keepers from the UK were called in, instead, for political reasons.
Great reaction Rockstar. Keep grinding these fucking gems out. 🇺🇸
This movie had such an effect on me I bought it and have watched it so many times. It's been a few yrs since I have seen it. It was different now that I am older and more mature. Such a powerful movie.

I'm a South African too, and bought the movie afterwards too.

I love this movie. Brilliant acting from Leo, Djimon and Jennifer.
Please react to Tears Of The Sun. You would love it I guarantee. Another great underated movie is The Power Of One.
I think he did react to that awhile back 🤔... it might another one of those "copyright problems."
But I could be wrong.😅
Agreed, aye.
Absolutely terrible film 😆😆😆😆
As a South African I may say it is an excellent movie, showing the truth about Africa, including that Africa needs its whites, as was slipped into the script. His accent was pretty spot on: it wasn't routine for him, though! He sacked his voice coach after filming the first scene, and went to find and spend time with real South African mercenaries to learn their accent; only, his character was Rhodesian, not South African, but we can let that slide, for he joined the SADF. The talk of the 32 Battalion was precious, indeed.

The guy who directed Blood Diamond also directed The Last Samurai. Edward Zwick has quite a good body of work as a director.
Yeah Legends of the Fall is my favorite movie of his.
This movie is underrated it's not a masterpiece or anything but it's it's doesn't get the recognition it deserves I feel
This was my first partial viewing of this film and it appears that Dicaprio delivers a stellar performance as usual. But my favorite of all of Leo's films is by far 'The Revenant!'
Leo's character ... there are situations like this happening again after the 15+ year gap this movie begins from. Please look up Serpentza. He actually grew up in some hard areas in SA. Never met him but I spent 18months in Joburgg as a kid around the same time.
27:48 R.I.P Arthur Morgan...
Love this movie, does a great job of showing how bloody the world of gems is, also love Leo's character his character gives you a small glimpse of how brutal the rhoadeisan bush war was.

He sacked his voice coach after filming the first scene, and went to find and spend time with real South African mercenaries to learn their accent; only, his character was Rhodesian, not South African, but we can let that slide, as "Danny" joined the SADF too. The talk of the 32 Battalion was precious, indeed.
Yes, am a South African and half Afrikaner. The blacks are willing to work together 85% of the time, so hard work was always the motto. Being able to leave Africa is also quite true, unless engulfed in tribal rivalry which turns deadly, as with Danny, here.

Danny was a former Rhodesian light infantry veteran. Then immediately after that worked as a military contractor I'm conflicts all over Africa
Yes, indeed: I saw this film in the cinema purely because of the Executive Outcomes link in the true story behind the film, and the truths of Africa needing her whites being included in the script. As a South African & half an Afrikaner with South Africa in my blood, dare day this movie is pretty decent.
Yet another role where Leo was robbed of his rightful Oscar.
This is in my top 3 movies ever. I watch it least once every 6 months. Great reaction.
Devin, if you haven't already read it check out the book A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah. It's about a child solider in Africa who managed to escape and become a refugee to the US. If you like this movie, you'd like that book probably.
Still going on to this day with other precious elements.
Shutter Island is Leo’s best performance IMO.
Phenomenal film, one I revisit quite often. I knew you'd like this one, being its impossible to not.
One of my favorite movies ever
Yes! Love this film!!
It is one of Leo's best and very underrated.
Wow, are you kidding me - I just saw it on TV yesterday! Incredible movie.
This is one of my favorites and Leo became one of my favorite actors because of this movie!
27:15 this scene has inspired many Airsoft clone builds.
This movie is heavy in a lot of different ways.
Man sounds like jinx the old TH-cam reactor that had a funny ass laugh and duke Dennis w all the boa and boy😂
@Devin G I would love to see your reactions towards Bruce Lee movies from the 1970s he was the best GREATEST martial arts fighters ever 🤗❣️💗💖💗❣️💌💕💞💓❤️💝💘♥️💖💗❣️💌💕💞💓❤️💝💘♥️.
R.I.P Bruce Lee 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Terrific performances all around. Terrific movie.
One of my favorite movies for sure. Great reaction.
Denzel, LEO, Daniel day Lewis best 3 actors ever in my opinion
*Legends of the Fall* with *Brad Pitt* is another great movie by this same director
One of my all time favorites. Great film
That black guy is such a good actor
Wait, is this a reupload or am I buggin'?
you should check out machinegun preacher.. great movie that talks about the war in africa
This, Glory, the last samurai and Defiance are my favorite movies by this director
Man, they putting you on some bangers lately
I love this movie. Very underappreciated.
2:00 You are American. The world is harsh. That is why we have you as a beacon of freedom
18:00 bro wtf? Were you watching the movie at 5am or stopped watching the movie at night and continued the next day. Because the background went from dark to daylight
Good eye. I didn't notice
This and tears on the sun bro.. love those movies
27:00 We all cry. Ja ja.
This movie is a bromance before it was a thing
I am a proud Rhodesian and Leonardo Dicaprio's representation of us was spot on
An excellent movie, showing the truth about Africa, including that Africa needs its whites, as was slipped into the script. His accent was pretty spot on: did you hear how he 'obtained' his accent? He sacked the voice coach after filming the first scene, and went to find and spend time with real South African mercenaries to learn their accent; only, his character was Rhodesian, not South African, but we can let that slide.

Very underrated movie..
Hit the like button you mooches!
Great reaction as always Devin
Another great reaction!
Hey I think you should watch The Revenant with Leo. He finally won the award for this role and it is an outstanding film. I know you would highly enjoy it man!
24:54 Great roll back, Guerilla shit
Loves your reactions bro!
Please do Enemy of the state with Will Smith and Gene Hackman. Great movie
This is in my top Leonardo DiCaprio movies.
Great film man! I reckon you should watch "Falling Down" and "White men can't jump."
Tears of the sun is also a great movie about war in africa
one of the best movies
I am using him, and you are using me. This is how it works.
That is such a violent line
A lot of Nigerian soldiers lit up a shit load of the RUF around 2003 pretty much ending the civil war them and the British.
Leo is the best actor ever
What a banger, love this movie.
Just curious Devin but why do we keep getting reuploads when we can get newer movies I just noticed we've seen you react to a few of these?
Meant Body of Lies with Russell Crowe
First movie I saw in the theater where the audience clapped afterward
