Many may not realize, but this movie is also a monument for those millions of white people who left Africa or died in the last 50 years all over the continent from Algeria to South Africa. Many became victims of racial hatred that is rising in Africa, it is not fashionable to think about it but it is still going on.
One of my all-time favorite scenes. And Im not even that crazy about the movie in its whole. I mean it was good enough. But this scene was heart-shatteringly brilliant. Not over-the-top, played just right
what's sad to me is, and i may be wrong, that unicef isn't all going to the suffering ppl in africa who actually need. i don't know why, but i have this awful feeling that the money goes to the corrupt african gov't. anyone think i may be right?
Guys not to be rude but stories like this happen often in Africa, but no one supports some of the company's which help Africa in its time of need, Support UNICEF who will provide working facility's, free school meals and more, WHO will help with health issues within Africa, train doctors and stuff, and many more. Support Africa guys.
Actually i hate that movie for only one reason...Cuz he died after all what he did i dont think he deserved to die after all the good things he did.i was really upset
i hear you guys mention oscars all the time...WHO REALLY GIVES A FUCK? he is the best actor ever and if someone disagrees ... well..the world needs losers with bad taste!(even though i see 0 dislikes so noone probably disagrees!)
@Crymson1 I went a couple years after the war ended and the devastation is still obvious everywhere, I love this movie for being so real, showing it for how it truly is and was
I had just returned from Sierra Leone when this movie was released. I was afraid that it would not do the conflict justice and would make a mockery of it with a silly love story. I was glad to find that the director tried his best to show how brutal and destructive the conflict was, and that the relationship between Maddy and Archer simply added emotional depth to the story rather than being sappy romanticism. Sierra Leone during this time was not a pleasant place. This movie keeps that in mind.
@MrVideocritic2011 The movie would not have reflected how Sierra Leone really was back then had Leo lived. This movie was not meant to have a happy ending. And in many ways, Leo's character was an anti-hero. Recall that Archer meant to steal the diamond for himself. There was obviously an inner conflict within him about his past and his present, and, in the end, the good side of him won out.
man, i love this film and this scene, everytime i watch it. Its tough to not shead a tear, Leonardo DiCaprio is an amazing actor and I'm really shocked that he hasn't won an oscar yet!! D:
@louisNero666 How could he win an oscar? Stellar acting, simple and powerful stories, and a beautiful ending...... these things don't win oscars... to win an oscar you must have a retardedly deep piece of film that subtly critiques the many layers of decadence and interpretations of modern life with a meaningless ending.... or some such shit.
This is one of the very few movies I have to god damn cry... Incredible artist that dude. Yet the story is and the content is way more tragic than this
This scene alone should have won Leo an Oscar. Brilliantly acted, powerfully scripted, and expertly scored, this is an incredible film and hauntingly beautiful movie moment that sticks with you for quite some time. It's one of the most memorable scenes I think I've ever watched, and everything about it is exceptional. I cannot believe this movie got snubbed at the Oscars the way it did. In my opinion, this is Leo's best performance to date (and yes, it even beats The Departed and The Aviator).
This my favorite movie ever, I have watched it atlesat 5 times. At one one point this movie was the only thing on my Ipod, but it was the only thing i wanted. such a great scene to end such a great movie.
Its always a GREAT movie when the lead actor dies in the end... especially when its a real story. All my favorite movies has deaths in the end... Great Movie :)

inception, basketball diaries, whats eating gilbert grape, the beach and probably a crap load more. however, he HAS died a number of times when he didn't play the bad guy.
@Kovu427 well bro, you have to go through some stages in life to fell this. for some people this is deep. butas the looks of it you laugh because you are a suburban boy who got every thing going right for him
One of the most epic endings of all time. It is an injustice that di Caprio didn't get a Academy for this performance. The soundtrack it awesome. The last minute of this video is the best.
i kinda interpret "im exactly where im supposed to be" as- hes done some bad shit in his life and now hes paying the consequences or i guess most people would interpret it as TIA and this is home ? any thoughts?
@dionstrezlecki I think he means he was meant to die in Africa. Remember in the middle of the movie, Archer said that the diamond was his "ticket to get off this God forsaken continent." However, maybe this end scene just lets him realize that he fittingly belongs in Africa -- he knows nothing else. But I do like your other opinion. It made me think.
@sweenkingandwow2 Not really, because the people above 25 usually are remembered by everyone because of their amazing acting. Remembered a lot more than the "16 - 25 year old pussies".
peaceful way to die. all he wanted to do was get out of Africa and away from the violence and pain, but in the end Africa was his home always. So sad.
Truly a great movie
