The Hurt Locker

Its a story about the new guy in an EOD ( Explosive Ordnance Disposal)  unit, at first he acts thike hes indestructable and gets in some trouble for being too big of risks. Then the team gets used to him and he is tested in a way that traumatises him, and he begins looking for the man who planted that peticular bomb. All in all it show some of the more grotesk aspects of war and the effect it has on people.

I think the goal of this filma was to show the strength of people who are fighting in the war and what some go through everyday. and really show that it isn't at all fun and games.
It isn't really much like slaughterhouse five but the main cahactter is quite disfunctional and hides from all the stress he is put through by drinking and acting super cocky, and in slaughterhouse five the main character is pritty disfunctional and  escapes what is happening by traveling through time.
I don't think Mary would like this film mostly because of how grotesque it is but I think she whould be proud of the fact that it doesn't encourage war really it show how nasty things can get.

  1. I want to see Hurt Locker so bad. I've only seen one epic bomb scene, but I hear it's awesome. I think that every war movie kind of portrays it's main character as psychologically damaged by the war, which like you said holds true in Hurt Locker. So I think that's one theme that almost every war movie can relate to Slaugheterhouse-Five.
