Trailer for a "near-perfect" film - The Hurt Locker

submitted by EDD

1 decade 5 years 7 months 1 week ago

'Hurt Locker' is a military jargon metaphor for pain. This film is a multi-award-winning, "near-perfect" (TIME magazine) "full-tilt action" (NY Times) war drama.

From Apple Trailers:
The Hurt Locker, winner of the 2008 Venice Film Festival SIGNIS Grand Prize, is a riveting and suspenseful portrait of the elite members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad, soldiers who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives in one of the world’s most dangerous jobs.

Three EOD members battle insurgents and each other as they seek out and disarm deadly bombs in a thrilling race against time. A heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat look at the effects of combat and danger on the human psyche, The Hurt Locker, meaning a place of ultimate pain, is based on the first-hand observations of journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who was embedded with a special bomb unit in Iraq. It is a gripping portrayal of real-life sacrifice and heroism and a layered, probing study of the soul-numbing rigors and potent allure of the modern battlefield.

Cast: Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes, David Morse, Evangeline Lilly, Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie etc.

This is one of the best war films released in recent years. Because it separates the politics away from the people fighting the war.

Isn't that what all good war films do? I agree with you, but I'm trying to think of a good war film that didn't separate the politics from the lives of individuals. "The horrors of war and the duality of man", right? (Stole that from the Platoon imdb page. )

The only ones that don't do that, to my immediate knowledge, are propaganda films like The Alamo (2004) and most of John Wayne's war films. (Love his cowboy movies, though.)
