real life, my attitude would probably be closer to Mackies's - or Fiennes' . Movies that have the effect of healing a few wounds are fine but they are not worthy of an Oscar per se. In my opinion (for the little it is worth, frankly), within five years, "Hurt Locker" will have been lost in a plethora of (more accurate, more realistic, more sensitive to the regional context) Iraq-US "war" movies.

By the way, I am a fan of at least two other movies directed by Bigelow: Blue Steel and Strange Days. She is really gifted and original: hope she has more upcoming.

Wow. That makes the oscars very interesting indeed ! {nm} JMT Feb 21, 14:39

Disarming explosive devices can be addictive. Cinematography, director... well, it's acceptable. But best film?! And best screenplay?! Diapason Feb 21, 14:46

I think Hurt Locker is way overrated. I can't even believe it is getting all this praise, especially in terms of screenplay which was bland. {nm} Laprawler509 Feb 21, 13:00

its what makes us americans. we punch people in the face for having differing opinions. ;) {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 21, 14:59

I agree. I thought it fell of in the last third and didn't really amount to anything. Renner was great though! {nm} Apokalips Feb 21, 19:02
