I can clearly feel that compared to "The Hurt Locker", this one is much more realistic to me, probably because I have memories of the incident when bin Laden was killed.
This film once again shows the difference of KB, as a female director. Her works do not lose the blood and courage of the battlefield and other harsh environments, but they do not lose the delicateness of women and the delicacy of her works.
Delicacy and delicacy are partly reflected in the shooting methods with literary qualities in the front part of "Demolition" and "Hunting". The plain narrative focuses on frightening points in scenes of war, raids, and explosions.
Similar to the interpretation of Jeremy Renard's character in "Demolition", Maya, played by the model worker, was also shaped from multiple angles in "Hunting". Unlike the former, Maya's family line is not unfolded. Perhaps because "Hunting" itself is a historical subject matter and is well-known, the whole film is destined to maintain a serious general tone.
The portrayal of Maya's psychology is absolutely superb. Especially the close-up of her crying scene at the end, the mixed tears. Excited and moved after the task is completed; carrying so much and taking on so many burdens, and finally being able to let go of the burden; feeling sad for the victims in the process of the task. This ending scene, which can be interpreted in many ways, is a stroke of genius.
