The Hurt Locker
Overrated film, i didn’t like Jeremy Renner’s character, “SFC William James”. Maybe because he was so different? So dedicated in his suicide work, that he believes will save lives. Playing fps games like Call Of Duty using the Berret you don’t appreciate it’s aim and extensive recoil. 21st century warfare especially in the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan is much more different than WWI & WWII. The guerrilla and mystic enemy is radicalized into inhumane monsters, who’s ends have little just.
This film clearly shows Americans ‘helping’ the people of Iraq, protecting them. Why? What’s the point? People from around the world hate the war, and want Americans out! The war for oil? I think we’ve gotten beyond that. The American occupation in Iraq is unnecessary, there not even a threat compared to Afghanistan. War in Iraq does produce jobs, and is apparently keeping the markets stable?
The cinematography was great, the acting was by the book. But i’m not sure if i like the screenplay.
