The following is a text version of the content of the forgotten fish scales with the same name, such as the vibrato number and the watermelon video
----------------------------------------------
Why don't your loved ones believe in your commitments? Why do two people who claim to be in love need to feel safe in a dream of bubble-like beauty? What is the biggest scam of the 21st century that this feeling indirectly spawns, and what makes a man like Xiao Lizi and another man send diamonds to each other.
The answer is in the movie we're going to talk about. "Blood Diamond", a movie cloaked in the cloak of a commercial cool film, if it were not for the group of friends ordering, I would not have watched it a second time, OK, today to meet you, dig deep into this pink diamond.
01
Synopsis
Because this film is not difficult to understand, we will not talk about the plot. Directly into the comments, "Blood Diamond" is directed by Edward zwick, little plum, Jeman Hansu and Jennifer in 2006 film, probably tells the story of a diamond dealer in Sierra Leone, little plum played Archer, learned that the black Solomon found a pink diamond, decided to cooperate with him to escape from Africa, but in order to save his son after the injury died in the middle of the road.
Director Edwardswick has many good and well-known works, such as the Oscar-winning "Shakespeare Love History" and one of Pitt's masterpieces, "Burning Love Years", in which Little Plum plays a seemingly rebellious but conscientious African native white man, who has learned a rogue way of survival in the bloody and cruel African continent, so he looks ruthless and mercenary, but he still retains the original goodness in his heart.
In the final moments, he let Solomon and his children escape with diamonds, while he grabbed a handful of homeland from the ground and let them fall with the cracks between their fingers, fighting one or two people, unable to change the fate of the land, and the human nature that did not buy and sell and did not kill.

This movie features
There is a line in the film that says:
Africa is one such place that has been neglected by all. 30 million square kilometers of land, living 1.2 billion people, wild, primitive, silent and kind, just like your broken heart hurt in the world of feelings, suffering only you know.
The filming method of the film is different from the Hollywood movies that are popular for multi-line narrative now, it is very old school, single-line narrative, single-line structure narrative of the film, need to be very careful to arrange each conflict, neither too fast nor too fierce, so that the audience fatigue, but also can not let the conflict too slow, let the audience lose attention, but also need to carefully ensure the diversity of each plot conflict, it is very difficult to deal with.
This treatment also makes this commercial action film have a very strong literary and artistic attribute, in addition to the basic feelings of a pint of small plums, you can also taste a pin of African style, when the villain colonel died under the gun of the little plum, he said "tia" with some relief, (this is africa), well, wild Africa, wild humanity, the beauty of pink diamonds, the promise of love, behind the cruelty.

De Beers Corporation
From the perspective of the diamond itself, its process from 0 to sell to sky-high prices is the most famous "scam" in the history of commercial marketing.
The designer of this scam is the diamond giant De Beers. De Beers deceived the world for 130 years with a diamond scam! In 130 years, how many girls have to pit! Heaven forbid! Natural diamonds are actually not rare at all, and they are of no use except to look good!
Let's put it this way, if all the known diamonds on the earth are dug up, it will be enough for 6 billion people on the earth, each of whom can share 20 carats! But since the storage is so large, why is it still so expensive to sell?
In fact, people began to lay out in 1870, when South Africa accidentally discovered a large diamond mine, the output is huge, the output is large, the diamond is not valuable! So the diamond dealers panicked, in order to ensure that they could sell at a high price, several of the world's major diamond dealers united to form the De Beers company.
The first step is to control production. Because he knew that all the mines in the world were in his hands, why did he rush to sell them quickly?
The second step is to force everyone to buy diamonds. The advertising slogan "Diamond is eternal, a forever" came from this, and tied to love, you will not resell second-hand diamonds and do not let diamonds reduce their price.
In the long run, diamonds have become a symbol of love and commitment. It became a consensus to resist the fear of love, creating a huge premium.

A fragile consensus for humanity
The human consensus is too fragile, there are changes and differences almost all the time, you can look at the curve of the securities transaction, the bulls and bears fight each other, behind which everyone thinks differently.
This is especially true in the illogical world of feelings, when you particularly like someone, you will not get any happiness in the other person.
The joy of love is simply Schrödinger's happiness, people make wishes, promises, is an atmosphere group, the other party said "will always like" when it is indeed sincere, you also really believe, but so what? People believe that everything is true from the beginning, slowly feel that it is all false, and then find out that there is truth and falsehood, and finally give up resistance, it does not matter whether it is true or false.
You have been wronged, you have been hurt to the point of no end, you have begun to doubt life, you think, those cruel things, how did the other party do it? Aren't they each other's closest lovers? In other words, you must be reluctant to ah, but then you will understand one day, the original dislike, naturally did it.
So people don't believe in commitment, they just fear disappointment, disappointment is a too bad emotion, it makes a person's position in the heart directly hit the bottom, for a moment as if all the previous ones are fake, feel that what they have done or the relationship between two people, have become a part of the unworthy part.
People's consensus on "love" is fragile, needs a sense of ceremony, and needs a stupid stone as a symbol, because everyone is too weak, afraid, and everyone is a extinguished fire.
So don't ask if a diamond should be bought, don't ask, ask is buy! Money is bullshit, as long as you can add bricks and tiles to the consensus, buy shit is no problem, just do it.
At the end of this matter, a friend of mine said a brilliant sentence, he said that the most beautiful idiom in the world is called: "a false alarm", these four words, are the best idioms in the world, compared to what is happy, colorful, smooth, a hundred times better.
I asked him why, and he replied lightly, "Do you know what loss is?" ”
