Ms Bigelow talent for getting deep inside a mans soul is why her success is guarenteed for years to come. That scene says it all. Its far superior to all that dross dreamt up by those useless Hollywood Exec's
Kat Bigelow and Mark Boal knocked this out of the f*&^ing ball park, like Bambino pointing to the fence. Her actual budget was only $11M ($15M adjusted for marketing and distribution) which makes it one of the lowest production budgets in the last 20 years !! She went with little known Renner, Mackie, Geraghty, and then directed them like f*&^ing Orson Welles. AND THEN, on top of all that, they spent over 8 MONTHS editing the 200 hours of camera footage !!That's how you curb-stomp James Cameron.
:'( my great uncle was deploying to iraq when his best friend from clollege got shot by a sniper on the ramp of the helicopter. he wasent even there a day. R.I.P. mark.
I'm 21 and for the life of me I cannot figure out what those one or two things are. I expect one is family, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the other. I guess when it's time, I'll know...
Once you get older, some of the things that you love might not seem so special anymore."
Kathryn Bigelow is probably the only female artist i've seen work of that gets deep inside a man's soul. When i first saw the movie i thought "hey, this guy who directed this has made the most male movie i ve seen so far"
Personal opinion, I think many mid-life men can relate easily to the main character. When we are young, we have so much inspirations and dreams. After marriage and children, we are overwhelmed with bills and responsibilities. By the time, we hit 50. We have clocked many hours of boring but essential job as to support our family. We hit the numb zone. We carry on our daily duties and finanical liabilities as best as we can. But there is no more fun. There is no more job..mid-life crisis...
jeremy renner is the shit!!! Only he could pull this off tbh, similar as he did in The Town. Damn what an awesome movie this turned out to be, though i don't get why is it called the Hurt Locker ^^
@BexieBoy To be in "The Hurt Locker" means to be in a world of pain. This movie shows that in many forms. War is pain, being away from loved ones, the actual physical pain of being blown up by a bomb or shot. But I think it refers to the fact that the main character would rather stay in this "Hurt Locker" than go home, because this is whom he has become. But that's just what I took away from the movie.
@sparkyinbath War is not cool. Not by any stretch of the imagination. War is really an ugly thing. However, it's not the ugliest of things. The feeling that nothing is worth war is much worse. In order to really understand this ending, you really need to have been in the military to know what it's like.
@IndieCato No you don't. I can understand. War for this guy is exciting. Heightened sense of reality ect ect. Adrenaline and stuff. When he get's home it all feels incredibly dull. So back he goes to war. That's why he's smiling as he walks off at the end there. He's back where he's now happy.
@sparkyinbath If you want to simplify it down to only that. But in doing so you're not getting anywhere near the full picture. You can never understand the full implications of war until you have deployed, and by the ignorance of your answers, you prove that you don't fully comprehend the full emotion and drive he experiences. To say he's happy there? You clearly don't understand it.
@IndieCato No i do understand. But your right happy isn't the right word. But i figured it would do for a you tube comments page. Comfortable is a better word.
That is why im joining the military i want to be somebody not to be a nobody and sit in an empty apartment and watch fucking sitcoms a shit i want to fight for my country and do something special for my United States Hua
@Lucky73096 Haha, you're an idiot. Please, go and get shot or blown up. Do us all a favor. That way, we'll have one less worthless person on this earth.
Sappers- borowers of war. Once I serwed in mixed polish-US EOD platoon in Afghanistan. Not as a sapper, I was a gunner on MRAP but I had a chance take a look at their work from a wery close distance. I salute You all.
Kind of a sad ending...it's true what they say in the beginning; war is a drug. The only thing he truly loves is battle, so he needs more, and abandons his family to go do it, not seeing the risk that he may die. Great film however.
@Remington700FTW wrong, the whole message of the movie is that war is a drug, a lethal drug, and he became addicted to the rush of being on the line of death all the time, by the end, he was simply borred of the dull repetitiveness of daily life, thus he wasn't redeployed, as he had already served his past 365 days, he signed for the tour of duty again.
@MrQueenie I suspect it very, very much depends on what soldier you talk to. My estimate: 90% just learn to do the job, whatever it is, 5% actually enjoy it, and 5% are so perpetually scared they don't know what they're doing. But that's just me, a dumb non-soldier. (shrug).
@Kolostramin It's the mundane stuff most soldiers don't like. Paperwork is for the remf's. The enjoyable parts are the things you signed up to do. Serve your country, help people who can't help themselves or don't know how, and blowing $#!t up. Ultimately though it's more about seeing what kind of person you are and improving yourself.
"Help people who can't help themselves, and blow shit up" is probably the least compatible objectives I've ever heard, unless the people want some of their shit blown up I guess.
@MrQueenie I don't think he thinks about death that way. Death is what drives him, it's knowing he could die at any second that gives him the rush, which he apparently can't live without and I'm sure this happens all the time in real life.
@MrQueenie what a dam negative response, how about it's an awesome ending, and it's true that war is a drug, and the adrenaline rush james gets is alluring and powerful and he wants more of it, so he says enough is enough, i'm going to live, i'm going to do some badass shit and fear doesn't prevent me from living life the way i want to
@BRIANisALRIGHT It's true, war is a drug. My cousin has two kids and a girlfriend but he left them behind to go to Iraq when the war started. He lost an eye, went home, found his girlfriend had left him and wouldn't let him see the kids anymore. Since he had nothing left, he went back to war. He's still over there serving.
@USArmysis1 that's a sad story, i feel bad for everyone involved. that's why i'm not getting married or having kids until i'm totally sure that i'm settled down, chillin somewhere for good. he sounds pretty badass tho, they should call him 'one eye' and he should go get revenge like in the movie
@BRIANisALRIGHT Yeah, it's a really good idea to wait to get married/get involved with someone seriously. He's pretty badass, it's true. Aside from his romantic screw ups he's a really good role model for me.
@BRIANisALRIGHT So you say it's a good thing that he risks his life, potentially damaging his child in his process? Letting his loved ones at home worry every day that he may die.
Your comment seems to suggest that you think he is free, but is he really? The rush he gets from his job imprisons him. He has to come back to it. it is the same with any kind of addiction. Addiction is not just limited to drugs or gambling or sex, addiction can come from anything.
@AliminiumHydroxide clearly there are different kinds of addictions, some people are addicted to helping others because it makes them feel good, so i'm aware that addiction can come in various forms, as in James' case where his addiction saves the lives of many soldiers and civilians. about his family, well i agree that wife and child will be hurt, but many more people will be saved due to James' actions, so what's better for everyone? disarming bombs is his one true love, i say go after it.
@BRIANisALRIGHT I can see your point, but in the film James hsows how he prioritises his need for an adrenaline fix over the well-being of other soldiers. Remember the scene where Eldridge gets shot?
@AliminiumHydroxide That's true in some respects, but the film also shows that James is never reckless in getting his adrelaline rush. He dismantles bombs with the skill of a surgeon, and his cool attitude towards his job probably stems from the time he served in Afghanistan and his single-minded expertise in bomb disposal. People who are that good at what they do usually trust thier own judgement rather than a distracting voice on the raido saying, "James, we gotta get outta here!."
@BRIANisALRIGHT That's why I try to tell my friends who wanna be war junkies to really analyzing what they are about to do. Once you kill a man, once you reallllly dig past all the humanity that stops you from unleashing the inner beast, there really is nothing that can compare. Tell me what sounds more exciting, a day in the amusement park riding some roller coasters, or how about disarming a bomb and killing some terrorists, while also protecting you platoon. Now, I like option 2 better :/
personally, i think you're comparing it too much to current events. i think cameron was trying to make a point about how we're destroying the environment, cutting down trees, using up all the oil, etc., but when i watch a movie, unless its specifically based on current events or a true story, i don't draw any comparisons, i watch the movie for what it is, and i thought avatar was extremely well done, because it feels like pandora could be a real place out there somewhere, well maybe
i sang (Liz Constantine) for Al Jourgensen in the 11th hour on this ..and 2 years later Katheryn Bigelow places it in the last scene.. i am humbled and honored to chant Truth go to myspace/lizconstantine for more. Peace
Idk what you guys are saying, this movie is the new saving private ryan... It shows us lazy bums what the war is. Physical, psychological, and overall stressful. I say well done. I tip my hat to you
This is a really intense movie. Not a movie I would watch over and over again, but one that I'm glad I've seen. I guess that's true of 99.9% of movies. They're not always supposed to be entertaining or uplifting, they may be a statement or a piece of art.
regardless of best movie, james cameron should have won best director, hurt locker was more of an actors movie, while cameron put his whole fucking life into avatar, he should have been more respected for that, both r great movies tho
@BRIANisALRIGHT fuck cameron. so overrated. and i haven't even bothered to watch avatar; that's just a giant spectacle for the mindless masses to drool over.
@blklightning330 well that's just being overly stubborn i might say, and you havent watched avatar yet you think its overrated, when the reviews werent even that unbelievable to begin with, and dude terminater 2 was fucking great, true lies = badass, and avatar, i love to say it, was a pretty good fucking movie and i just think hurt locker was jeremy renners movie, while avatar was cameron's movie, and i do think hurt locker should have won best picture but cameron should have won best director
@BRIANisALRIGHT If Avatar wasnt such a commercialized and widely consumed piece of propaganda, I might agree. However, to base an entire movie around one person's view that The current wars are about oil and blood money, is far from appropriate or noble. In all honesty, its selfish and dickish.
I watched the first 45 minutes and turned it off once they started making comparisions between the plot and the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Can someone honestly garnish that much support by people?
I can't believe this movie won an Academy award, let alone six. The best actor in the movie was Owen or possibly Sanborn. It's not a bad movie, which is actually saying a lot for contemporary American cinema, but it's not a good movie either, especially given it's message of nihilism and doom or, alternatively, that life's only reward is to suffer.
I can't believe this movie won an Academy award, let alone six. The best part of the movie was Owen. It's not a bad movie, which is actually saying a lot for contemporary American cinema, but it's not a good movie and the reckless message that life is only to suffer is atrocious.
Every movie about war, says things like War Sucks and bla bla. I'm very happy that The Hurt Locker was diferent, and gave a good looking in war, as some kind of beautiful way.
When a man goes to a war, and see the most wonderful things, and do things that express the man brave, and limits.
Why the hell comeback to buy Cereals and have boring conversation with wife?
And because that ending, and all the movie it self, Hurt Locker was better movie then Avatar.
Is there a instrumental version of Khyber pass like this version? i really dig the ending music. There was a music video up "Marco Beltrami - The Hurt Locker (2008)" but its taken down now. Real shame.
I honestly don't understand what is going on in the end, could somebody just break this down for me? It may also be because i just rented it and it's 5am for me cause i can't sleep. So i'm seriously tired. But yeah, anybody willing to just kinda explain what (more specifically when) the ending was? I'm totally lost.
@sgtchicken he goes home, and after all his time in the eod, he has difficulties to fit into normal society. all the time he tried to lock away his emotions, and when he wants to tell his wife and open himself, she is overburdenend with it and ignores him. he realizes that theres only one thing left he really loves and wants to do, and so he signs up for another tour of duty and goes back to iraq. after seeing what suffering 28 have caused, 365 remaining days seem impossible to the viewer (me).

@BRIANisALRIGHT I can see your point, but in the film James hsows how he prioritises his need for an adrenaline fix over the well-being of other soldiers. Remember the scene where Eldridge gets shot?
AliminiumHydroxide 1 month ago
@AliminiumHydroxide That's true in some respects, but the film also shows that James is never reckless in getting his adrelaline rush. He dismantles bombs with the skill of a surgeon, and his cool attitude towards his job probably stems from the time he served in Afghanistan and his single-minded expertise in bomb disposal. People who are that good at what they do usually trust thier own judgement rather than a distracting voice on the raido saying, "James, we gotta get outta here!."

@BRIANisALRIGHT That's why I try to tell my friends who wanna be war junkies to really analyzing what they are about to do. Once you kill a man, once you reallllly dig past all the humanity that stops you from unleashing the inner beast, there really is nothing that can compare. Tell me what sounds more exciting, a day in the amusement park riding some roller coasters, or how about disarming a bomb and killing some terrorists, while also protecting you platoon. Now, I like option 2 better :/

personally, i think you're comparing it too much to current events. i think cameron was trying to make a point about how we're destroying the environment, cutting down trees, using up all the oil, etc., but when i watch a movie, unless its specifically based on current events or a true story, i don't draw any comparisons, i watch the movie for what it is, and i thought avatar was extremely well done, because it feels like pandora could be a real place out there somewhere, well maybe

This is a really intense movie. Not a movie I would watch over and over again, but one that I'm glad I've seen. I guess that's true of 99.9% of movies. They're not always supposed to be entertaining or uplifting, they may be a statement or a piece of art.

regardless of best movie, james cameron should have won best director, hurt locker was more of an actors movie, while cameron put his whole fucking life into avatar, he should have been more respected for that, both r great movies tho

@blklightning330 well that's just being overly stubborn i might say, and you havent watched avatar yet you think its overrated, when the reviews werent even that unbelievable to begin with, and dude terminater 2 was fucking great, true lies = badass, and avatar, i love to say it, was a pretty good fucking movie and i just think hurt locker was jeremy renners movie, while avatar was cameron's movie, and i do think hurt locker should have won best picture but cameron should have won best director
BRIANisALRIGHT 11 months ago
@BRIANisALRIGHT If Avatar wasnt such a commercialized and widely consumed piece of propaganda, I might agree. However, to base an entire movie around one person's view that The current wars are about oil and blood money, is far from appropriate or noble. In all honesty, its selfish and dickish.
I watched the first 45 minutes and turned it off once they started making comparisions between the plot and the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Can someone honestly garnish that much support by people?

I can't believe this movie won an Academy award, let alone six. The best actor in the movie was Owen or possibly Sanborn. It's not a bad movie, which is actually saying a lot for contemporary American cinema, but it's not a good movie either, especially given it's message of nihilism and doom or, alternatively, that life's only reward is to suffer.

Every movie about war, says things like War Sucks and bla bla. I'm very happy that The Hurt Locker was diferent, and gave a good looking in war, as some kind of beautiful way.
When a man goes to a war, and see the most wonderful things, and do things that express the man brave, and limits.
Why the hell comeback to buy Cereals and have boring conversation with wife?
And because that ending, and all the movie it self, Hurt Locker was better movie then Avatar.

@sgtchicken he goes home, and after all his time in the eod, he has difficulties to fit into normal society. all the time he tried to lock away his emotions, and when he wants to tell his wife and open himself, she is overburdenend with it and ignores him. he realizes that theres only one thing left he really loves and wants to do, and so he signs up for another tour of duty and goes back to iraq. after seeing what suffering 28 have caused, 365 remaining days seem impossible to the viewer (me).
