My rating of "The Hurt Locker" : Liang
Fan is a movie with the theme of EOD and bomb disposal. , The method of creating atmosphere is still very skilled.
Dealing with dynamite takes courage, and that unease is in a sense exciting, even addictive.
My university is a school that started out doing weapons research, and fist majors are related to it. Of course, when I was in college, no one wanted to go to those majors in military engineering. After all, there is a little danger, plus accidents. Heard the news. In my senior year, I had to choose a topic for my graduation project. I was very challenging to choose a military engineering topic in our college, although my major had nothing to do with it, and my standard at the time was: which topic has the most relationship with explosives , choose whichever one. The remaining three months were spent with explosives every day: sifting, charging, pulling cables, and detonating. At the beginning, when I grabbed a detonator in my hand, my heart beat faster (don't look at the small size of the detonator, it's more than enough to break a finger), and I got used to it gradually. Holding a lead tube filled with 100 grams of black cable is like holding A baton is still dangling in my hand (this amount is enough to blow me up, and a grenade usually holds 30-40 grams), and later, a 100-gram plastic explosive live ammunition explosion test, ignite the guide. After the fuse, he walked slowly to the bunker, so anxious that the teacher pushed me behind the back while urging "Quick, quick!"
Perhaps it is human instinct to seek stimulation. Some people like rock climbing, bungee jumping, skydiving and other extreme sports, which are very exciting; Likes to bet on horses, balls, and mahjong, which is also very exciting; some people like to sneak in and do some shady activities, such as peeping, salty pig hands, and extramarital affairs, which are also for the purpose of seeking excitement. An ordinary life needs stimulation, just like people who are used to eating mountain delicacies often have no appetite, and always want to get some peppers and mustard to stimulate their sluggish appetite.
Another point, regarding anti-war, I don't agree with the "one-size-fits-all" view. It seems that as long as war is launched, it is a mistake, and as long as troops are sent, they must be opposed. If there are no one or two "policemen" in the world to maintain a certain order (of course, this kind of order is most in line with the interests of the "police", but it does not mean that it must contradict justice and fairness), then we are afraid that we still We are waging a "protracted war" with Japanese imperialism! War is just a continuation of politics. It is a means, not an end. No one wants to be caught in the quagmire of war. Therefore, both the beginning and the end require the great wisdom, courage and strength of decision makers.

    I really like the contrast between the calmness of Jams facing bombs and the lack of what to do with cereals. Aside from the standpoint, this film is great. But as the country that initiated the war, bombs are used to deal with the invaders, but the invaders said that they would destroy the bombs in order to protect the women and children in Baghdad. Wouldn't it be too funny? ? ? Out of Snail’s love for war themes and small characters, it’s better to have five stars╮(╯_╰)╭

    The use of DV lenses makes the scene a strong sense of substitution. The addition of editing and soundtrack makes viewers nervous. Many details of bomb disposal and sniper missions reflect the reality and cruelty of war. The meticulous plot, tough style, and smooth rhythm give the film a rough sense of reality, just like a cold wind.

  • 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.
