"Sometimes I wonder if god will ever forgive us for what we've done to each other. Then I look around and I realize god left this place a long time ago."

Why did he not win an award for this performance

As someone who is part south african, I can say he did a pretty good job with the accent, he looses it on certain words, but it's still pretty damn good.

Yes, he was Zimbabwean (More Rhodesian), so the accent would've been much more British settler, but (in the movie) he spent a lot of time with the South African Army and Mercs, with the Portuguese accent in Angola, the French connotations in the Congolese dialect, the Arabic influences in both white Dutch cultures and Northern Sudanese, it really is quite hard to get to any of the accents right, but there is a very heavy South African sway to his accent,with the Rhodesian slant to native English

Leonardo DiCaprio should be remembered as one of the greats of acting of this generation

“You Americans love to talk about your feelings huh?”

I really love how it showed the reality of life for whites in South Africa and Rhodesia. They weren't evil, just farmers who feared what would happen when blacks took over, and then their worst fears came true

How did he not win an Oscar for this it’s absolutely amazing

"sometimes i wonder if god can forgive us for what we've done to each other. Then i look around and i realise, God left this place a long time ago" favorite quote from this movie"

Blood Diamond remains the only film I've ever watched that has made me cry. I don't even mind admitting it.

“We thought we were fighting communism but in the end, it was all about who gets what” Only combat vets know the truth.

Rhodesians never die!

Awesome film, this is most moving scene, how Archer just melts down. I love it when tough guys come undone emotionally. Just gets to me. Similarly when Will Hunting finally falls apart in his therapists office 'it's not your fault' I must have replayed it a hundred times. I don't own this movie (yet), so thanks for posting the clip so i can watch it again and again. Leo, you're the man!!

I love him acting Danny Archer. Its so brilliant, every last bit of it.

This scene is beautiful.Leo does the accent and character so well,i will cry if he doesn`t get an oscar soon....

So underrated movie. Great performance by Leo...

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.

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 =)

i think that this is one of my favorite scenes in the entire move.

Yoh dude he nailed the south african accent!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

'Ach what's the point.' haha nice, nailed that

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

One of the best actings by Leonardo.

The bit where he talks about God gives me chills!

Zimbabwean and South African accents are totally different. Just to foreign ears they sound the same. It can be sometimes insulting if you say im from Zimbabwe and then someone responds by saying Oh i thought you were from South Africa. They are different countries with different cultural backgrounds. The Zimbabwean/Rhodesian accent derives mainly from british colonialism whereas Afrikaans has a strong dutch heritage.

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

I don't care what anyone says about the accent. The best way to find out if it works is to go onto South African Movie Websites, use Google Translate to translate to comments from people reviewing the movie. I have done so and the people themselves think DiCaprio's accent is spot on. Those who mock it have never heard the real accent. I always find it sad that American's like foreign actors using American accents but laugh at American actors using foreign accents. Why? Because they think foreign accents are funny and wont to laugh at things that sound different.

Leonardo is probably THE only actor to get the accent pretty much bang on! It's his mannerisms and use of colloquialisms that are the most amazing! He clearly studied hard for this role and nailed it! The 'hey' and the 'ja'. He is brilliant!

"sometimes i wonder ...god will ever forgive for wht we've done to each other ...then i look around and realise ...god left this place long time ago..." best dialouge and best movie ever...!!

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!

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.

sometimes i wonder..will god ever forgive us for what we have done to each other.. and then i realized.. god left this place a long time ago. best line of the scene !

I never watched the full movie. I got up and left, upset when seeing it on tv, due to it being so true. Here I am. Living in South Africa. Him telling the story about his parents... its true here... and even... worse... I want to watch this movie and finish it, but I don't if I could stomach it. I hear these things on the radio, tv, media and pretty much everywhere all the time. I feel like I've had my fill and that the movie isn't necessary for me to finish watching. He's a brilliant actor. His accent is really really good

one of the most beautiful scenes in the movie!

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

Such a magnificent film. Great scene. 5/5 stars.

Outstanding scene, outstanding acting!

T.I.A

I agree. Glad to have him during my lifetime.

I love Blood Diamond, it`s a fucking great movie. Good acting, strong story and DiCaprio`s as Danny Archer is his best character ever IMO :-) Just badass. He nailed that african accent (Not african but Iv`e heard people say he really got it right).

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

Very nice movie with deep emotions, showing love is powerful

This was such an incredible movie!

My fav scene of one of my fav movies! Thanks 4 uploading

Should have won for "The Aviator" and possible for "Whats eating Gilbert Grape", He deffinitly deserved his nomination for Blood Diamond.

Danny says exactly a similar line to what Bruce Willis' character did in Tears of The Sun "God left this country years ago"... thought anybody might be interested.

I love how this scene, there was no kissing as it was not needed and luckily not forced in; thus making it a genuine human film.

that accent is the shit ! hes so good

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

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

i love him in this accent

mine too. I never really got over this movie or this particular scene.

Thank you to Leonardo DiCaprio for getting me interested in Rhodesian history.

My favorite scene in my second favorite Leonardo DiCaprio movie.

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

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!! ;))

watching movies like this and hotel rawanda, make me realize a bad day for me isn't much of a bad day at all...

best movie and best scene

@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

LEONARDO DICABRIO You Are Great I Love You

buhoo right? Sometimes i wonder will god ever forgive us for what we have done to each other.

"the fanatic is perpetually incomplete & insecure. he cannot generate self-assurance out of his individual resources but finds it only by clinging passionately 2 whatever support he happens 2 embrace." "he embraces a cause not because of its justness & holiness but because of his desperate need 4 something 2 hold on 2." Eric Hoffer

Leonardo DiCaprio should've won an Oscar for this movie, as the movie itself, as if promotes the issues of extreme covered-up exploitation, done even by Western countries, or ... especially by them(?)! ... But, this must've been the reason that the movie and DiCaprio's exceptional acting here went unnoticed ...

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 ;)

one of my favourite scenes

Se han percatado que alguien podría hacer una película o serie sobre la vida de Danny Archer antes de Diamantes de sangre

I was naan.

great film!!! love the actors

What an actor,how many great films has the man made,how much weight did he put on for this?

and great actors don't need oscars to be as great as they are.

thank you. but you know i'm just so tired of hearing people feel sorry for themselves. when i watch this, especially when he talks about the death of his parents, it truly gives my life perspective. and although it is a movie, sierra lione is a real country and real people have died there unjustly.

wish Danny was be alive and how he and Maddy relationship will end, like gonna marry or just to be sure friends

Brilliant at playing a person who had gone many years and was never comforted by anyone.

Leo is such a legend

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

Much better than I expected. Only really slipped up badly on "Godforsaken" and "decapitated".

love this sceneeeeeee

Rhodesia developed and maintained a powerful and professional military. In June 1977, Time magazine reported that man for man, the Rhodesian army ranks among the world's finest fighting units.

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

Angola Bat 32 long live in memory brothers in arms

love the movie, and specialize this scene...

THANK YOU, Astatemam. -Well done, sir.

fantastic movie!

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

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

Academy awards :yuno: give him an Oscar!

i totally love Leooooooo!!!

They need to make a prequel to the movie

Me looking at my father's car . : This is my ticket out of this cursed continent... One day

Soldiers don't we all feel this way in the end.

You don't really get right after war or any kind of trauma like that......you just live with it the rest of your life. From personal experience though nothing ever looks the same again, view of the world is different. Can't walk around like nothing happened or live life normal like most people.

great scene

What he described about his parents happens on a daily basis to White farmers in SA. The thanks they get for creating employment and feeding the nation

Well said.

How can he not have an oscar?

@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.

He needs ten fucking oscars!! :'(

@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

i love leo!!!!!!!

jesus christ what an actor
