  • he got the Zimbabwe accent correct...I'm impressed

  • OH, GOD!

  • Dicaprio is so much better than any other actor alive that if I had to pick the second in line I just couldn't.

    He is like Michael Jordan: number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10 in my list.

  • Makes me proud to be African. There are a variety of accents. The West african. Ghana, Nigeria etc. I'm from the East side ygm ;)

  • Leo should have got his oscar for this powerful role! Never watched his movies when he was younger but since he became a man I cant keep my eyes off him!

  • English is Not my mother language but i love waching films in english. The accents and other things get lost in the translation. I have seen the trailer in my language and its all perfektly normal like a teacher is talking and that may be ok in different movies but not in this one. Love Leos accent:)

  • This is just, amazing.

  • funny people who have never been to africa think its a bad accent, but everyone who has been to africa thinks its a good one...

  • kiss Kiss KIss KISs KISS!!!

  • the south african/rhodesian accent is prob the hardest accent to do without sounding like a retard, grats to him for getting it right

  • Dicaprio was phenomenal in this movie I agree he was virtually robbed when he didnt get the oscar....BTW what an amazing amazing movie it was

  • Even my mom liked this movie.... lol..

  • oscar

  • that is not a good accent......

  • @ijustwannabeyourdog

    Yeah, it is a bit of a shit accent. I still think Leo's a great actor though.

  • i totally love Leooooooo!!!

  • Bottomless milk jug!

  • Hasa diga eebowai.

  • Amazing bit of acting by both of them.. I can't believe an actor as fine as DiCaprio hasn't won an oscar yet, its actually unbelievable.

  • Dicaprio should have got an academy award for this he made a stupendous movie. this movie is proof a love story doesn't need sex scenes

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing line

  • This movie, especially this scene made me realize that Leo DiCaprio has really matured as a fine actor.

  • T.I.A huh?

  • the man should have got an Oscar for this, unbelievable film and actor

  • 3:31, cheesy line delivered by a brilliant actor. Very memorable.

  • @SolidSnake032486 cheesy my ass

  • @SolidSnake032486 A cheesey line? You're a bit of a cold cunt mate. Maybe once you grow up and have more experiance of life, discover that there is more to this existance than video games and have something tragic happen in your life you can watch touching scenes like these and relate. Maybe then you can voice a mature opinion and recieve positive responses from people, rather than seeking negative ones in order to satisfy your lust for attention. Be human for fuck sake.

  • @kindahottish Okay, calm down "mate" your obviously mad at something else besides me and I sorry for what ever happened to you. Yes I'm 25, not very old I know and yes I do play video games as you can tell by my user name, very preceptive. In America people don't say things like this unless they want to be laughed at for being dramatic. I was paying Leo a compliment because I got choked up when he delivered this line, which is a human response I believe. Thats why I'm watching it again.

  • LDiC 's talent as an actor is incredible, unparalleled.

    I used to rate Depp very highly, but he's made nothing but sh1t movies for over ten years now. Sell-Out.

    It's a crime LDiC's not won an oscar, his body of work is mind-boggling.

  • i love how people blames white people for genocide in africa the last time whites commited a genocide in africa was in the 1800 its like this blacks commiting genocide against other blacks and whites but when i heard what the belgians did in africa that made me not proud of my belgian blood anymore :(

  • Leonardo DiCaprio was robbed when he didnt recieve the oscar for this and THE DEPARTED ANDEVERYTHING HES EVER BEEN IN..... He deserves so much more recognition for his talent its ridiculous, adn the academy can fuck off. PERIOD.

  • @leorocksmyworld5 and there are people starving in the world

  • @leorocksmyworld5 Leo was an annoying, sappy girlish actor for a long time. But he definitely matured starting in the mid 2000s. He's one of the best and most versatile actors out there, in my opinion; and he takes on few enough movies that he doesn't become boring, and chooses his roles very well.

  • @wonderw86 Leos character Danny is from Zimbabwe. White Africans from Zimbabwe are not Afrikaans for the most part. The Afrikaans people are a group descended from Dutch settlers in South Africa. South Africa is a totally different country than Zimbabwe.

  • @InViziBelle .Ha ha .Being South African myself,I think I know the difference between the two countries. Firstly,there are many Afrikaans speaking White people in Zimbawe.Secondly-even for an English speaking White Zimbabwean het accent is not accurate.The English speaking White Zimbabwean accent is very similar to the South African English accent.Just my opinion, I think I do have a trained ear.:)

  • 3:30 "A veces me pregunto si Dios perdonará alguna vez el daño que nos hemos hecho unos a otros. Luego miro a mi alrededor y me doy cuenta de que Dios abandonó este lugar hace mucho tiempo."

  • the thing he always says at the end of his lines '' huh''.. he should have won the academy award just for that

  • If they wanted an Afrkaans speaking English accent why didn't they just get an Afrikaans actor?stupd

  • @wonderw86 Hollywood needs an A list actor to sell the movie to the viewing public, I hate hollywood but I understand. would you rather go see Leo Dicaprio and what you know he can do or no name Leonard Boo Boo the fool just because he's a real Afrikaans?

  • @daxeboy9 The bottom line is if your acting is bad it is bad. It does not matter who you are.

  • @wonderw86 I was just responding to your assertion of why didn't they get a real Afrikaans if they wanted an actor with an accent. I take it you didn't like Leo's acting, is this why you say it was stupid? What constitutes bad acting in your eyes, just curious? I'm a theater actor in Philly and I'm about to venture into film so I always like to hear what people have to say about acting or actors. Leo and Denzel happen to be two favorites of mine.

  • @wonderw86 no thats not stupid. it would be stupid if the character solomon vandii was leo but it isnt. hes a merc so he fits in the plot

  • "Mom was raped n shot n dad wasdecapited and hung from a hook in the barn...I was nine."Man...the way he handles that line,pure moviemagic. BDwon five awards n a bit surprisingly did All go to Hounsou.He Does a great job,yes,I just think Leo is better.. he didnt get too many noms. I know he was competing against himself that year n the A. has a few retarded unwritten rules.1.cant put 2 actors of the same gender in the leading category.2.An actor cant get 2 nominations in the same category.silly.

  • Best actor ever!!! I heard from my African buddies that his accent was spot on! what do you think?

  • i wanted to see them get togeather ! and him get out alive with her ! 

  • He didn´t get the Oscar because it´s not an American story. It´s difficult for the committee to understand where the character is coming from and what kind of emotions he represents.

  • @TheNorvegicus tell the committee to kiss my ass

  • dicaprio was robbed of the best actor award for that year

  • The 32 Battlaion was the most decorated unit in the SADF. And yes it comprised of mostly blacks with white NCO's and Officers. It was truely one of the best Special Forces (if you can say that) units of all time. The men who served felt betrayed by their country when it was disbanded in 93/94. Still an excellent performance by DeCaprio in this film. I have to say one of his best.

  • In the original script Archer didn´t say:"It´s palmwine", he said "It´s goatmilk". I guess the directors figuered "palmwine" would add to his macho-persona.

  • nice nonspecific accent lol. great acting though

  • @luf4rall nonspecific it south african

  • @churchjamespeter thats like saying all accents from England are English accents

  • Magical soundtrack to go along with one of the best movies I have ever seen. Great story, ending, action and drama. Very emotional at the end. More movies like this please!! Can't believe it didn't get an oscar cos it definately deserved one. Definately Thumbs up for me =)

  • 6 people obviously misclicked the dont like button.

  • i love him in this accent <3

  • @fightinside1 he totally is!! I think its cuz hes so fit and he worked out a lot 4 this role

  • If she was sitting there looking at me I would say literally anything. Anything. I might say: "whatever it's going to take to keep looking at you I will say. Whatever it's going to take to stay in your presence that is what I shall do. So just let me know what it's going to take." Heh.

  • Basically they are drinking kumis.

  • There's so much tension in this scene.. why don't they just kiss already?!

  • Teiks a but of gidding yoosed to LOL

  • boo hoo rritght yar yar

  • that accent is the shit ! hes so good

  • @zuschlag123 lol that really is how people sound over here in SA, I guess it is pretty cool.

  • @YAOIHUNTER3000 he says hes from Rohdesia in the movie or something like that i think

  • @tedudeskin

    i thought rhodesia was zimbabwe (:D) am i horribly wrong?

  • @WhatsUpManHAAA I have no clue haha. But they do have this accent in South Africa as well.

  • great scene and just all around great performance (but when does he ever not give a great performance?) thanks for posting the clip

  • @fightinside1 I think it's the blonde hair.

  • is it just me or is leo hotter in this movie than all his other movies?

  • @fightinside1 i think so cuz i've noticed that even people that aren't fans of his think he's hot in this movie

    i like him in everything but that's because i am a HUGE FAN

  • Comment removed

  • @manwithouthat44 Most women like him because he's good-looking, not because he's a dealer or a smuggler. You fucking idiot. Neck yourself.

  • @manwithouthat44 Or simply because he's a good actor.

  • @manwithouthat44 ok weirdo....i was only commenting on his looks. chill...

  • three favorite movies of mine with leonardo dicaprio

    inception

    gangs of new york

    shutter island

  • africans == black, leo is tarded

    /derp

  • @FuzzeeLumpkins yes cuz he was the one that wrote the script....

  • @FuzzeeLumpkins Not true. One of my good friends if South African, and he and his sisters are most definitely White.

  • great flick

  • brü

    ya ya

    huh?

  • @olzabl123 -Agreed, sir. He richly deserved one for this role. I thought he should have gotten one for his role in 'The Departed'.

  • THANK YOU, Astatemam. -Well done, sir.

  • God left this place a long time ago

  • yar yar

  • you "lost both your parents...

  • well im CHRIS ARCHER lol for reals awsome movie

  • boo hoo raitt?

  • he should keep the accent, it's goes good with him :D hehe!

  • Im watching this so that I can learn how to do a similar accent for a play! Blood Diamond is class doe!

  • i like how danny archer speaks

  • 'sometimes i wonder will God ever forgive us for what we've done to each other, then I look around and realize God left this place a long time ago.' That is the most touching line ever.

  • @Lauren4464 I know right?

  • @Lauren4464 AGREED 100%

  • at least he got a nom at the oscar! it's a shame he isn't nominated this year :(

  • leo should get an oscar for this role, no question!!

  • A veces me pregunto si algún día Dios nos perdonará todas nuestras ofensas y el mal que nos hacemos los unos a los otros; y después me doy cuenta que Dios hace mucho tiempo que se fue de este mundo. 3:30

    Peliculón!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is Africa. Hard men, hard women, no time for feelings. Truly lovely scene when the hard and the truth meet. Unexpected brilliance!

  • his accent is second to none

  • i like it

  • i was so pissed about maddy and archer relationship in this movie they never got together and never even kissed this is so sad cuz they were obviously in love with each other ;( but the movie is AWSOME and this scene too one of the best in this movie it really shows the emotional evolution of the character thanks for sharing!! ;))

  • du er et røvhul

  • well now i'm sure he needs to play an homosexual character for winning a oscar ! Like Sean Peen, Philippe Seymour Hoffman...

  • @Manzeron He HAS played a homosexual character, in Total Eclipse. ;)

  • This was such an incredible movie!

  • "Boo Hoo Right?".... Jesus what a performance

  • kak man

  • best scene of film

  • jesus christ what an actor

  • Best line I've ever heard in any movie ever.

    "Sometimes I wonder... will God ever forgive us for what we've done to each other?"

    "Then I look around and I realize God left this place along time ago."

    It never was about one country or one nation or one state. It is about people... given free will and we have done nothing but the most horrid things with it.

    Can't blame God for leaving. I would have done the same damn thing.

  • DiCaprio's character made me discover the fate of these white africans... I never heard about what they endured until now. And the denial or omission by the international community of their suffering as individuals, makes me sad.

    I wonder how I would feel if my parents were murdered and I was stripped from my home fighting for survival. I'd probably punch in the nose, a journalist with good feelings that would come tell me that I'm a racist. I am more african then he will ever be.

  • @dorian1880 Look, you must be extremely naive or something. The blacks in Southern Africa suffered twenty times more at the hands of the whites than the other way round, while the international community quite rightly boycotted South Africa. I have every respect for the suffering of white Africans as individuals, but don't come and spin it like they are the victims of the situation.

  • @dorian1880 hi friend, i also would like this kind of information...so i am sending you a private message right now to ask you something...hopefully you can help me a lil bit!!!!

  • I agree, DiCaprio is a very good actor. And I'm not a teenage girl in heat, but a demanding movie-goer guy.

    This is one of my favorite scene of the film (which is quite good overall, for a hollywood movie).

  • @dorian1880 Mine too; I'm just waiting until the Academy recognizes his talent. It's taken him several years to develop, but currently, it's impeccable.

  • cracked.com/funny-1991-the-wor­st-movie-accents/

  • this movie had me really looking at diamonds differently now. this scene is one of my fav. scenes in the movie. Leo did a very good job in it.. you can tell his pain that he kept inside

  • He should be remember as one of the hottest actors of this generation lol

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, luv that beatiful accent which compliments that rugged face.

  • God... Works in mysterious ways? There would be no compasion if there wasn't suffering?  Well tell that to those who suffer. I think god lost hope long before the so called unforgiveable sins of humanity. And how could we not sin or make mistakes we're just bloody people. Just people. And God aint comming back for us.

  • <3 this scene : )

  • great film!!! love the actors

  • :L "so one day i decided f*ck it yanno?" lol :') oh, i do love you leo, why can't you be 13 again??? fml.

  • :L "So one day I decided Fuck it yanno?" :') oh I love you Leo...x

  • I cried when I saw this it was so realistic... He should have won.

  • Mukiwa is the Matebele word. The Shona word is Murungu.

  • @205gtist170 That single word really means "white boy in Africa?" It simply doesn't mean "white boy?"

  • @205gtist170 Yep! I thought I was the only who caught that! lol, but still despite that mess up the lines were delivered quite nicely.

  • LEO IS THE HOTTEST MAN ALIVE.

  • LEO IS THE HOTTEST MAN ALIVE.

  • yar yar

  • "Boohoo Right"

  • love the movie, and specialize this scene... 

  • Seduce and Destroy!!! #classic #leowannawoopywoopy

  • nice

  • i believe one would call him zimbabwean, in this context he is rhodesian. the accent however is constructed in the way people might expect a white rhodesian to sound like. i disagree with this version, there is no one rhodesian accent as with the South African accent. district 9 gives a better view of the rsa accent.

    in my mind his accent is not right

  • @SherbetLollipop the accent from d9 is specifically from Gauteng and around the east rand part of Johannesburg( someone who isnt a native eng speaker). to me he sounds a bit like someone from Natal.but I think most whites from SOUTHERN afRICAN COUNTRIES.- have a similiar english accent only the slang terms vary

  • He is playing a Rhodesian not a South African.

  • @Stevenio Why not?

  • WHAT wine?! 

  • Really proud to be a South African!!! Miss my country!! 8 more months and i will be home!

  • Comment removed

  • Powerful scene...

  • Best speech ever!!!!! Im wonder where is god??????

  • i love leo!!!!!!!

  • T.I.A =THIS IS AFRICA !!.. I.T.A = IS TYPICAL AFRICA THIS FILM WAS PART SHOT IN SOUTH AFRICA VICTORIA AND ALBERT WATERFRONT CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA AND PART MAPUTO MOZAMBIQUE, GOBA MOZAMBIQUE AND IN LONDON , ENGLAND UK NOT ZIMBABWE AKA MUGABE LAND FORMERLY KNOWN AS RHODESIA

  • @misschanandelerbon thats because its not a south african accent.... its rhodesian/zimbabwean

  • totally agree @ indiansummerx

  • he is right! this world is fucked up!!!!! how people treat each other today is horrible! its like we living for nothing! this world has only to offer us its lying promises!!!!

  • His southafrican accent bothers me, Its not right!

  • dicaprios an amazing actor. i used to hate the guy to death during leo-mania after titanic as i do most hearthrobs but he's a great actor who picks great roles. same with johnny depp

  • love this sceneeeeeee

  • The expression, the voice, the intonation, the lines, the words from Leonardo DiCaprio, from 3:31 to 4:00 were just flawless!

  • Part of the accent. He's saying Huh? It's like hey or eh?

  • DiCaprio says "ha" at the end of a sentence about 3 times per minute =) not only in this movie :) Anyone who noticed that??

    Nevertheless i like him very much as an actor! Awesome movie! 5*

  • @HeartcoreBass thats coz zimbabwe people say ha at the end of every sentence no joke you will botice it right awya if you ever meet any they also say 'my something' alot like 'my boy' 'my man'

  • @ytrewqasfd really? =) thats interesting, thanks for the informations. But DiCaprio also says "ha" in other movies too...not that often as in Blood Diamond, but yeah^^

  • Depicted Afrikaners much more nicely than that shitty Lethal Weapon movie.

  • his accent in this movie is just unbelievably legit. such an amazing actor.

  • @quarrygirl42 nooooooooooooooo way! Stop looking at Leo through girly eyes and you will see throughout the movie is accent is widely inconsistant. He jumps around between Australian and English. Djimon Housou made this move. He was the real actor in it!

  • Greatest scene in the movie.

  • also Love is the only purpose we have in life. Love is Life itself. Thats the only reason we exist.. God gives us that. without Love their is no Life.

  • @hess1912

    hmmm

  • leonardo is telling the truth in this scene. how the world is today. people dont care bout each other. Love is very rare in this world. God is Love. If their is no love. no God. that is truth about this world
