Have been moved, but not so strong

Taking an Oscar film is generally not particularly ugly, but fortunately, I can’t see where it goes. Because of the need for careful taste, sometimes I have no thoughts, time, and mood.
I watched this film twice. In the first half, my husband and I didn’t feel anything. It’s not that there is no exciting plot. It’s just that we are all filmmakers who have grown up in the flamboyant plot of Hollywood blockbusters. This is based on The actual plot of the movie does not have much stimulating effect on our brain nerves.
In the second half, the boy who had a good relationship with the protagonist was brutally murdered and turned into a human bomb. The movie began to climax step by step. In fact, there is no climax, but the mood of the protagonist James is obviously not calm, and some dialogues are also fascinating. Have more in-depth thinking about the meaning of this war.
That's it, it's a good film, but it doesn't have much success.

    Watching 10 war films of this level is the same as watching one.

    The promotion of Avatar because of the Oscar dispute is indeed one-sided. At least in the past years of the Iraq war theme works, the bomb disposal unit can be comparable to the excerpts and revisions, and the standard is excellent. Under the slow documentary rhythm, the narrative is loose but not lengthy, and the scene scheduling is precise. The panoramic display of life on the battlefield strongly conveys the anxiety and hopelessness. It is not so much the so-called main theme, as it is because the camera is calmly aimed at the wound.

The Hurt Locker quotes

  • Sergeant JT Sanborn: I'm not ready to die, James.

    Staff Sergeant William James: Well, you're not gonna die out here, bro.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: Another two inches, shrapnel zings by, slices my throat, I bleed out like a pig in the sand. Nobody'll give a shit. I mean my parents - they care - but they don't count, man. Who else? I don't even have a son.

    Staff Sergeant William James: Well, you're gonna have plenty of time for that, amigo.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: Naw, man.

    Staff Sergeant William James: You know?

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: I'm done. I want a son. I want a little boy, Will. I mean, how do you do it, you know? Take the risk?

    Staff Sergeant William James: I-I don't know. I mean, I just, uh... I guess I don't think about it.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: Every time we go out, it's life or death. You roll the dice. You recognize that, don't you?

    Staff Sergeant William James: Yeah-yeah... Yeah, I do, but I don't know why, you know? Yeah...

    Staff Sergeant William James: [sighs] I don't know, JT. You know why, you know... I'm the way I am?

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: No, I don't.

  • Colonel John Cambridge: [waving] So long. Thank you.
