the real war

The semi-documentary approach truly reflects the life of the US military stationed in Iraq from another perspective. There is no Hollywood-style heroism and cool stunts, and some are just thoughts and helplessness about war. The beautiful American soldiers on weekdays are not as heroic and invincible as we imagined, and they are well equipped. They are so vulnerable and helpless in front of one shoddy bomb. At this moment, it is no longer a bluffing gimmick and a cash cow at the box office. The war scenes that frequently appear in the shots of Hollywood's biggest directors are undoubtedly a nightmare.

    It's not that I discriminate against female directors, at least this film is really a bit watery, and I feel that I didn't grasp the point at all. I understand that the director wanted to play realism, but the pace was too slow, lack of climax and change, the tension and cruelty of the war were basically not filmed, and there was no power to portray a few characters. Inexplicable persistence, inexplicable sacrifice. During the period of watching, I almost fell asleep several times. I don't understand why I was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards.

The Hurt Locker quotes

  • Sergeant JT Sanborn: [looking at a photo from Will's box] Who's that?

    Staff Sergeant William James: That's my son. He's ' tough little bastard. Nothin' like me.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: You mean to tell me you married?

    Staff Sergeant William James: Well, you know, I had a girlfriend and, uh, she got pregnant, so we got married, and we got divorced... or, you know, I thought we got divorced. I mean, she's still living in the house and she says we're still together, so I... I don't know. Wha-what does... what does that make her? I don't know.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: Dumb... for still being with your ass.

    [laughs]

    Staff Sergeant William James: [kicks at Sanborn] Hey! She ain't fucking dumb, all right? She's just loyal. She's just loyal, that's all.

  • Colonel John Cambridge: You know, this doesn't have to be a bad time in your life. Going to war is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It could be fun.
