Hehehehehe
I saw the movie “The Hurt Locker” today.
I liked it, mostly because the opening scene got people to stop eating their popcorn altogether.
Kinda trippy though and it studied the old warrior hero mystique. Or maybe the sense of manhood that causes all the trouble in the first place.
Spoiler Alert!
Filmed in Jordan. The soundtrack had the Call to Prayer blowing through occasionally, especially while the characters are trying to diffuse bombs! I guess it is synchronous between me and them by mixing that in the soundtrack.
I trip on it as subject matter because:
Well, Captain Speicher in the news today…
Like in the 70’s – movies always promising the first real account of the Vietnam War… But I guess the writer was “embedded” with a similar team.
There will be a whole group of people coming back from this shit that may be fucked up.
I can’t know what it’s like. Probably good that I don’t. Thank you for sparing me from war in my life – at least that kind of war.
Today, however, add Baghdad/Tehran to the travel list – just to see if I can go there and trip out on it.
Someday, it [this movie] will be playing at a bar; just like Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now are now-a-days, and the people will sit there and drink and watch it.
And maybe dance a little.
