“To me this movie is about what is valuable. To one person it might be a stone; to someone else, a story in a magazine; to another, it is a child. The juxtaposition of one man obsessed with finding a valuable diamond with another man risking his life to find his son is the beating heart of this film.” MenHeartChildrenPersonsStoriesMightFilmSonFindingsStonesValuableMagazinesObsessedOne ManDiamondAnother ManJuxtapositionFinding The OneValuable Person Author:Edward Zwick
“It seems that almost every time a valuable natural resource is discovered in the world-whether it be diamonds, rubber, gold, oil, whatever-often what results is a tragedy for the country in which they are found. Making matters worse, the resulting riches from these resources rarely benefit the people of the country from which they come.” PeopleWorldCountryMatterSeemsTimeFoundNaturalResultsBenefitsResourcesGoldTragedyValuableOilRichesDiamondNatural ResourcesRubber Author:Edward Zwick
