The Hurt Locker, is it a justifying of Iraq war?
The Hurt Locker
Directed by : Kathryn Bigelow
Starring : Jeremy Renner, Ralph Fiennes, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Guy Pearce, Christian Camargo
Produced by : Tony Mark, Greg Shapiro, Kathryn Bigelow
The Hurt Locker’s story explores the three American soldiers bomb squad on duty in Iraq. They are J.T. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie), Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), and William James (Jeremy Renner) as their Sergeant.
Jeremy Renner plays very well as a crazy Sergeant, who prefers to disarm a bomb with his own hand than to use a robot.
The Hurt Locker illustrates the other side of the war in Iraq. Kathryn Bigelow as a director can lift the human side of a cruel war in Iraq and the weight duty of the bomb squad of soldiers. Kathryn Bigelow can turn the minds of many people about the suicide bombings carried out voluntarily. In this film depicted the suicide bombers who do are forced to because his family was threatened or a child with bomb installed.
At the end, hopefully this movie is not an American propaganda to justifying the war in Iraq but it is a door to open the eyes of every audience that war is not the best way to achieve a peace.
