Hey, anybody see the size of the ring on "Inside Man"?? I just watched it and it looked like about a 10 carat asscher!!! It was pretty gorgeous.

That thing was huge. Glad they did a close up of it too. It was gorgeous. That and the apprentice asscher made my day.

I think it was a Royal Asscher as it was very traceable to the original family. Sure was a treat to see! And, a great movie to boot!

I just saw this movie today. What a great flick!!!

And that ring, I just about passed out when they did that close-up. 10 carats at least! It was amazing! And I thought it was traceable because it was a Cartier piece (do they all have unique identifiers? I''d think that "important" pieces like that one would).

I want an Asscher. (whine)

I enjoyed the movie. I had no idea there was a diamond element in it, and actually went "oooooo" when they showed the safety deposit box with all the little black bags, cause we all know what comes out of those in the movies!! That Asscher was unbelievable. I was telling my husband how it spanned so much of Denzel''s finger, and he''s not a small man! I also thought it was cool how the stone in Denzel''s pocket was an oval, not a round. Interesting for them to show diamonds and NOT choose a round to showcase them.

I wish you well,

Bridget

Just saw the movie and loved it.

Loved the Asscher....

I also loved Jodie Foster''s 35 cm Rouge H Clemence Birkin too. I was drooling over that too!!!

The acting and story were fun to watch.

I like the movie even more today. I saw Lucky number Sleven yesterday. Too predictable. Too much violence - gratuitous. Honestly, I thought Inside Man was a breath of fresher R movies. The diamonds were to die for.

It was interesting that Denzel was given an Oval.

Yes, the Asscher was in a Cartier box. Didn''t Cartier retail Royal Asschers?

>>> read only if you''ve already seen the movie or don''t mind knowing more!

my theory re the oval: these were German Jews who owned these jewels. it was also the 1940''s. the gems could have been family heirlooms and been around awhile. perhaps an oval of excellent quality would have been more desireable at a period of time prior to 1940? or for people of a certain level of wealth?

re the movie itself: interesting tie into a political/moral issue given the aquisition of said diamonds.

Spoiler again!




Also, I liked the fact that in the end, violence wasn''t the way to get their way.

I thought they said that the jewelry owner''s were Persian Jews who traveled with or were related to Royalty. I guess I took note of that because "he" said he was friends with them & turned them in as Jews for "internment". It struck me as MORE dispictable because the banker was a Jew himself - living in Switzerland (not part of the war movement) & turning in his own friends that didn''t reside in Germany - or did they?

Also, was he able to "steal" their jewelry from their safety deposit box & the Germans seize the money? I know more about the Art retribution than the jewels. Along those lines, if one could prove that the item belonged to you, can you seize it back like Art?

I don''t know about the popularity of ovals or the rareity of them prior to 1940''s. I wonder if they were considered more desireable.

It''s a movie I''d like to see again as I may have missed some of subilties.
