The Hurt Locker showcases the experiences of a United States Army bomb squad stationed in Iraq after US invasion of foreign soil. On the surface, the film is ostensibly a story based on the actual experiences of a journalist embedded with US military forces in Iraq. If audiences choose to dig deeper, there are multiple meanings that can be drawn from the storyline. Its most noticeable theme is established immediately with the film’s opening quotation, “The rush of battle is a potent and often…

Like many movies I have seen before “The Hurt Locker” begins with a quote. The quote states simply “War is a Drug.” Although not true for everyone, some find it almost impossible to return home and begin their normal lives once again. For Staff Sergeant William James played by Jeremy Renner, war was a drug, and it was as if he found pleasure while under enemy fire and defusing bombs. There are two main reasons why “The Hurt Locker” is such a standout film. One reason being that James was…

were walking I was bleeding all over his shoulder and on the ground, he was yelling at me about how he told me not to climb the fence.

“Pow, Pow, Pop, Pop, Bang, Bang” the sounds of guns on TV always bring excitement and action to us as we watch a movie about a great war, not worrying if it will ever happen to us . In the book Forbidden City by William Bell, it has that same excitement of war (well not for Alex who was caught in all the “action” of the war). In Bell’s book it’s about a war in Beijing (the students vs. the army) bringing the feeling of war and betrayal in this story. For this book the theme that best described…

Growing up, I had many problems with my left leg and foot. Looking back, going back and forth to the hospital and doctor’s appointments really made me into much stronger person that I am today. As a result, it made me want to become a nurse so I can help other people out the same way those doctors and nurses did when I needed help. I had multiple surgeries done on my leg which prevented me from doing a lot of activities growing up. At the same time, I feel like I let my leg problems get in the…

An epigraph appearing at the start of The Hurt Locker states ‘The rush of battle is often potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug’ – Chris Hedges, this quote sets the scene for the movie as we see the negative consequences that war has on the people involved. Kathryn Bigelow has directed the two war films, The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty in which she has a very clear style which can be analysed to make meaning of the texts. Both texts explore the idea of voyeurism and are focussed on…

we see a reflection of ourselves in the character as they are always looking to improve themselves or overcome a major conflict in some cases. A flawless protagonist leaves nothing to be accomplished, nothing to gain, and nothing to overcome. The Hurt Locker (Bigelow 2008) presents a distinct perspective of modern conflicts. However, the film would not express…
