There does not seem to be any loopholes or faulty pipes, There Will Be Blood is just a solid film. It is entertaining, even if it seems to be a slow in the beginning. You would watch this by yourself or with a group of friends if Netflix and chill wasn’t working out. The film does the drama genre good justice, and anyone willing to watch a bloody drama will be pleased. At the end though, is when it really starts to get good. Sunday visits Plainview one last time in a dear cry for help, it seeming that “God” could not spare his loose change for the worshiper. Of course, Plainview will not give him any money and forces Sunday to make a fool out of himself. Plainview explains to Sunday what drainage means, using the famous quote, “I drink your milkshake” as a childish metaphor. That is the best scene in the whole movie, without doubt. It really shows the merciless hatred that Plainview has for anyone that comes in between him and the oil. Remember that Daniel Plainview is an oil man and it is a family business. Remember that blood may be thicker than water, but oil is thicker than both of

    In blood diamond, the director is able to make it interesting and exciting most for the time which is well over 2 hours. There’s also a fantastic duo, Djimon Hounsou and Leonardo DiCaprio in the roles of Solomon Vandy and Danny Archer. Both are wonderful, I would say the best of them is Hounsou who is the victim in this film. All the other people tries to exploit this pitiful fellow in various ways. Poison will use his strength to slavery, Archer use him to get to the diamond, the journalist sees a story to write about. The story of Solomon is not really special at all, slave operation, mass murder and torture is something that everyone in the country had to suffer through at these times. It's really an ordinary slave, that one day find a giant diamond and side effects around…

These men were told that they were going to be given free treatment for the bad blood and everything would be taken care of. Prior to the experiments they were not told the full effects of syphilis and what serious effects it takes on the human body.

    Based on the speech " I am prepared to die " by Nelson Mandela to be an insider or an outsider is to experience both worlds of oppression in South Africa . "The lack of human dignity experienced by Africans is the direct result of the policy of white supremacy " this quote shows that to be an outsider in a heavy population of white Africans does not receive equality factors due to that human. Whites tend to regard Africans as a separate breed : hard labor or small things such as cleaning things. Nelson Mandela was an icon to some of the black Africans because he symbolized equality and peace although some chose violence over peace many did not fully understand Mandala's idea . Nelson Mandela wanted ever…
