Am I the only one here who rates Hurt Locker highly?
Deneb, Aaron and Martin?
Well aside from the typical picturing of the barbarian Arabs, and the brave, gallant and selfless Americans
, i didn't think there was any real story. It was clip after clip of that guy detonating bombs. To be honest i felt it was repetitive and boring
There wasn't much of a real plot development per se, but I got the point of the story -- which was to capture the confusion and senseless killing. That much I got. Which is about the same level of plot and purpose in the movie Gomorrah, which I also really liked a lot.
If anything, I thought the movie was socially relevant. It visually portrays the question of just what the U.S. is honestly trying to achieve in Iraq.
Some folks in the military have come out to say The Hurt Locker isn't realistic. At least that's what they're saying on CNN.
And they said it shouldn't win best picture because of it.
