      Human, too human show

      "Bomb Disposal" is about the almost brutal work and life of the US military stationed in Iraq. There are also dense logical clues in the editing and plot arrangement similar to "running accounts". The bomb squad is counting down the days to evacuate, while the Iraqi people endure unending upheaval and damage: so every aspect of the squad will be interesting.
          In the heavily guarded camp, they rested at night and put on makeup under the stage (even our "reckless" Sergeant James was...

      wait till it's over

      I finally finished watching "The Hurt Locker", and I finished it in the "FXXX" that kept pausing, taking a deep breath, and holding back the about to be exported. Cold subtitles appeared in the roaring electroacoustic background music. I admit that I was crazy about JR in the first 100 minutes of the whole film, but the climax is in the last ten minutes. When the human flesh bomb exploded, almost all of them were gently swept by Death's wings, his partner muttered to himself with tears in his...

      war

      One of my favorite movies about the Iraq war. The war is drugs. People who have experienced the war may never be able to go back to their daily lives. His conversations are full of traces of war. There is no American-style personal heroism. Some are just right The true description of the war The
      two big-name cameos are dead, but it is very simple to show that there is no undead Rambo in the war, and Ralph Fiennes, the hunter leader in the middle east, is not Ralph with a Barrett sniper...

      On the Documentary Shooting Technique and Quick Editing Style of the Hurt Locker

      The film "The Hurt Locker" obviously adopts the new wave editing style created by Godard: the
          documentary image features such as handheld photography, (extremely fast) zoom push-pull, and virtual and real focus ensure that "The Hurt Locker" adopts fast editing, jumping The possibility of unconventional means such as cutting is closely related and inseparable, and the video style and editing methods are subject to the director's overall conception of the film's aesthetic concept....

      When the little boy appears, 4 stars become 5 stars. Then the repression accumulated by the direct narrative can finally erupt on a mercy. As me, I thinks it's one....he said it with relief and sounded like a kind of despair. Another 365. A female director can shoot with such strength. Kathryn, Way to...

      As a woman who has no special interest in war movies, ahem, I can't force myself to say that I like this movie. But not as personal heroism of American narcissists as some reviews say, anyway, long two It's a disciplined film style of many hours, but it still maintains objectivity in the theme. The key is that it has the trump card of Oscar. However, it is actually worth...

      JR remembered the moment when he was talking about I'm the guest consciously absurdly. The conflict in the war and the sense of dislocation of people in a foreign country were really absurd - so he no longer thought that Iraqi child was cute. Also: JR, you are really good at acting. After watching the bomb disposal, I forgot the character of Agent Brandt. Your grasp and interpretation of the character are really in place. It seems that you are really going to become your NC...

    Movie plot

    After the US army invaded Iraq, Sergeant Williams James ( Jeremy Renner ) was transferred to the Army Desperado Company bomb disposal team to replace his colleagues who had just died in Baghdad. The other two in the bomb disposal team, the non-commissioned officer Samborn ( Anthony McKay ) who is in charge of liaison, and the special soldier Owen ( Brian Geratti ) who is in charge of cover, are quite disgusted with the motivated...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is the entry for the 65th Venice Film Festival. As there was no permission to shoot at a US military base in Kuwait, the production team of the film had to move to Amman, the capital of Jordan.
    At the beginning, the film went through a very difficult period in casting and arranging the main behind-the-scenes staff. The main reason was that it needed to be shot on the spot in the Middle East, especially when Jordan was right...

    Positive comments from the

    "The Hurt Locker" is a feature film and a documentary film. This is a story about the demolition of a bomb, and it is also a tragic song that shouts for peace. The semi-documentary technique used by the director is quite good, but the plot layout is also very attractive. The film avoids Hollywood's usual war blockbuster model. Through the perspective of a bomb disposal team, it reflects the real life of the US military in Iraq to a...

    • Staff Sergeant William James: You'll get it, though. You'll get it.

    • Staff Sergeant William James: [to Iraqi street kid] I'm gonna buy another DVD, okay? But... if it's shaky - look at me - or out of focus, or any way not 100%, I'm gonna chop off your goddamn head with a dull knife. How do you feel about... I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding.

      [hands him his money]

      Staff Sergeant William James: Here. You're a good kid.

      [hugging kid's head]

      Staff Sergeant William James: You're a good kid, aren't ya?

    • Sergeant JT Sanborn: [as a teammate approaches an unexploded bomb] You know, these detonators misfire all the time.

      Spc. Owen Eldridge: What are you doing?

      Sergeant JT Sanborn: I'm just saying shit happens. They misfire.

      Spc. Owen Eldridge: He'd be obliterated to nothing.

      Sergeant JT Sanborn: His helmet would be left. You could have that. Little specs of hair charred on the inside.

      Spc. Owen Eldridge: Yeah. There'd be half a helmet somewhere, with bits of hair.

      Sergeant JT Sanborn: Have to ask for a change in technique and protocol, and make sure this type of accident never happen again, you know? You'd have to write the report.

      Spc. Owen Eldridge: Are you serious?

      Sergeant JT Sanborn: I can't write it.
