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.

    It’s time to admit the truth: the war in Iraq is due to oil and government contracts to private companies, not knocking down the Towers and killing so many Americans. The White House knew these terrorists were in the country and did NOTHING! They waste time and money chasing after Mexican illigals who do us no phyiscal harm, and are doing jobs most American lazy pelple will not lower themselves to do! QUIT LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT why we are in Iraq! We have oil resources here in American we could appropriate but for the goody two shoes who are on the side of minows, the gnats, the rats and the worms on the earth and care nothing about the people. Save the Whales, sacrifice the people! This country is being led by IDIOTS who are only interested in lining their pockets. WANT TO BE RICH? BECOME A CONGRESSMAN!
