How the Sleeper in the valley died - Blood Diamond and Total Eclipse

I read the poem of Arthur Rimbaud "Le Dormeur du Val" after watching the "Blood Diamond", I just can't help myself not to think that Danny Archer is the Sleeper. 

This is my favorite scene of the movie, when Danny is going to die and phones to Maddy. After the phone call, he sits on hill side, facing a valley, with sun bathing on him, and slowly dying of bullet shot. This is so like the poem. Rimbaud never mentioned how the sleeper died, but I prefer to think that this is how the sleeper died. It seems like the director had read this poem before.

The funny thing is Leonardo Dicaprio acted as Arthur Rimbaud before, in the movie "Total Eclipse".

This poem is the first poem I have read about a dead body. I was shocked but impressed when read it for the first time. This is also the first Rimbaud's poem I read. So, allow me to copy "Le Dormeur du Val" onto my blog :

< Le Dormeur du Val >

C'est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière,

Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons

D'argent; où le soleil, de la montagne fière,

Luit : c'est un petit val qui mousse de rayons.

Un soldat jeune, bouche ouverte, tête nue,

Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu,

Dort; il est étendu dans l'herbe, sous la nue,

Pâle dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut.

Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort. Souriant comme

Sourirait un enfant malade, il fait une somme : 

Nature, berce-le chaudement : il a froid.

Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine;

Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine,

Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au côté droit.
