| 09tarheel said: I don't ususally like "war" movies but thought The Hurt Locker was great, mainly because it didn't really seem like a war movie. It just used the setting to create tense situations and show how three characters responsded to the situation on a scale (1 was constantly terrified, with the main guy seeming to get thrills from it), but the film never promotes that enjoying fighting or being an adrenaline junkie is a good thing. Overall the movie had great directing, acting, pacing, cinematography, score etc. It deserved the oscar based on being high quality and lack of competition for the year (its not like Avatar was actually deserving of winning an Oscar).
Although I will add that I think part of the reason the movie got such high reviews was because it released during the summer. Critics seem to get tired of the mindless entertainment blockbusters during the summer, so I think they were happy to see something like The Hurt Locker during that time. |
Yeah, because your opinion is a fact.
