The Hurt Locker is a film about a soldier named Sergeant James, a.k.a. the man in the bomb suit. It documents his experiences diffusing bombs while on rotation in Iraq. I liked this movie because it was suspenseful, captivating, and intense. There were many scenes that had lasting impressions on me such as the scene where a man had a bomb strapped to him and was forced to accept his fate and lifted up his hands in prayer after he realized Sergeant James could not do anything to save him. Another memorable scene was when Sergeant James went through the trouble of rescuing the boy's body from the abandoned warehouse because he didn't realize it was not his friend from the army base. I could not pick one interesting character, for me it was interesting to see all of the soldiers and how they acted under pressure. James was interesting because his ability to be fueled purely by passion and adrenaline and still performed his job very well. Owen was an interesting character because he portrayed the effects that war can have on a person even after months of training. This movie applies to today because there are many soldiers around us that still have not recovered and may never fully recover from the effects of the war.
PART TWO:
The most memorable scene in the movie was when James came back home and was talking with his son and realized that he had no love for anything in the world except diffusing bombs in Iraq.
PART THREE:
I think the phrase, "the hurt locker" means that anyone within a certain range of the bomb (the locker) will most likely be injured in some way when it detonates.
