The Hurt Locker(2008)

It took a while before this movie reached our shores. This was shown first in October last year for a short time, then it was released again this month after The 82nd  Academy Awards.  I don't know if there's a deeper story behind it.  Normally, I would check, but I don't think I'll bother.   Let me just talk about what I think instead. I like the team up of Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal. The story was very moving and the direction was superb.  It made me seem to experience war first hand and I know deep in my heart that I wouldn't want to experience it for real .  My heart was torn to pieces several times.  There were people I wanted to save and when one of them practically exploded, I felt like dying too. The Iraq war is one of the biggest mistakes in the world.  Hey, I'm just making a comment and I don't want to wage war against anyone, but I hope it never happened.  War is really stupid! A lot of innocents become casualties. ...
