Brother dismantled not bombs but loneliness...

I saw a few pieces of news today. In the 10-year Oscar frontier battle, the Los Angeles and Boston Filmmakers Association awarded the best film and best director to Kathleen Piglow’s bomb disposal unit, and various magazine websites and the like are far away. Alternative movie manuals have recently entered the American Film Institute, which entertains the public, and there is no shortage of him. It seems that up in the air, Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire and Invictus, there is a big hit afterwards. La...

I think this is the least theme-free war movie I have ever seen. There is no anti-war sentiment, because you can feel that all this is so reasonable through the situation of the bomb disposal unit. It does not advocate war. In the lens, you can see Iraq's riddled with holes under the war, and there is no street fighting with bullets, but from the beginning of the film, you can enter a tense atmosphere that is at stake, without the feelings of comrades-in-arms, and you can even see everyone's humanity under the lens. Slowly began to twist.

The main purpose of the film is to show through text at the beginning
of the story . The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is drug. I

remember that there is an episode of Fringe which is very wonderful. It is the most unique way of addiction that I have seen before. The excitement was released, so he exchanged for a few seconds of excitement at all costs. But addicted to war, in the film should be addicted to the process of bomb disposal, how did this unique psychology arise? The bomb disposal expert James has a maverick attitude. There are no rules and no steps. When performing tasks, he ignores the opposition of his superiors. In the end, he can successfully eliminate the danger, but in terms of the so-called dangers in the film, the elimination and No, it doesn’t make much sense. What if 873 bombs are removed? This is just an addiction. In the most popular words, it is not a bomb, but loneliness.

The friendship between James and the little boy Beckham in the film is worthy of fun. The friendship with his comrades but the intimacy of the little boy who has little affinity with each other is a kind of loneliness and even despair of life.

The day of evacuation from Iraq is approaching day by day, and the daily bomb disposal task is becoming increasingly difficult. The film’s photography is very good. It is said that at the filming scene, there will always be three, four or more camcorders appearing on the film. It lasted for 200 hours just to create a documentary style for the pictures. This was absolutely successful. Every time the bomb was dismantled, the pictures were very tense. It made people experience that James’ sweat was so real every time, so The movie is absolutely exciting without bullets.

James returned to his hometown, and the section in the supermarket was also very special. A bomb disposal expert who has made great achievements in battles stood in a row of cereal counters but was at a loss. After returning home, he said to his son the following paragraph

You love playing with that.
You love playing with all your stuffed animals .
You love your mommy, your daddy, your nature pajamas.
You love everything, don't you? Yeah
You know what, buddy?
Once you get older, some of the things that you love might not seem so special anymore.
Like your Jack In The Box, maybe you realize it's just a piece of tin and a stuffed animal and then you forget the few things you really love, and by the time you get to my age maybe it's only one or two things.
With me I think it's one.

When he returns to the battlefield again, facing the new countdown of 365 days, I think his heart is still thinking, if this continues, I will have another 365 days...

The Hurt Locker quotes

  • Spc. Owen Eldridge: Aren't you glad the Army has all these tanks parked here? Just in case the Russians come and we have to have a big tank battle?

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: I'd rather be on the side with the tanks, just in case, than not have 'em.

    Spc. Owen Eldridge: Yeah, but they don't do anything. I mean, anyone comes alongside a Humvee, we're dead. Anybody even looks at you funny, we're dead. Pretty much the bottom line is, if you're in Iraq, you're dead. How's a fucking tank supposed to stop that?

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: Would you shut the fuck up, Owen, please?

    Spc. Owen Eldridge: Sorry. Just tryin' to scare the new guy.

  • Sergeant JT Sanborn: Now push it in.

    Sgt. Matt Thompson: I can't.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: What do you mean you can't? Pretend it's your dick, man.

    Sgt. Matt Thompson: [laughs] How about I pretend it's your dick?

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: You'd never get it in if you did that.
