[edit] Synopsis

The story of how the liberal media prevents the people of the fictional country of "Africa" from the benefits of American-style capitalism.

[edit] The Story

Leonardo DiCaprio plays "Archer" a capitalist who is working his way up the ranks of the diamond industry, and is the hero of the movie. The villain is a freelance journalist named Maddy (something) played to the hilt of sluttiness by Jennifer Connelly.

Sadly, she does not show her boobs, despite all the teasing.

The movie follows Archer as he struggles valiantly to make a living in a world gone mad with regulation. The symbol of that world of regulation is Maddy, the "journalist" who pokes her nose in places it doesn't belong and just basically makes trouble everywhere she goes. Maddy is a younger, sluttier version of Jessica Fletcher , Angela Lansbury's character from "Murder, She Wrote" who always seemed to cause people's deaths everywhere she went.

At some point, some black guy shows up and rides the coattails of Archer dragging him down to a slow crawl in his quest to simply make a living.

Apparently the black guy has a kid, or something and something else about a woman and her baby (or something) and basically, the black guy is played by Djimon Hounsou, who can't seem to play any other role besides the helpless black man who needs the white man to save himself from himself (just like he played in "Amistad")

The movie gets its name from the mythical deaths associated with the hard work of mining.
In an attempt to save the black guy (or something) and most importantly, the burgeoning free-market in the mythical country of Africa, the hero sacrifices himself in a scene reminiscent of how the jews killed Our Lord and Savior in Mel Gibson's The Passion of The Christ.
