2009 - The Hurt Locker

It’s not a sort of movie I would usually see. Wars scare me, and the blood I just can’t stand. But the fact that this movie has won BAFTA for Best Picture drags me to see it. As I see it minutes by minutes until it ends, THE HURT LOCKER tells something that’s actually simple. It’s not about the war, not about politics, nor the bonds between soldiers. It’s about one thing: ADDICTION. And like any other addictive pleasure in the world, an excessive dose of it is not healthy. In this movie, to grab the excitement of that addiction you have to endure the thrills it has to offer. You will wish you were at somewhere else in the world but this place. It’s all necessary to bring up, since the addiction is for DEFUSING BOMBS. It’s not the usual addiction we find everyday, but the procedure is just the same. To get that pleasure back over and over again, the addicted person will always put aside anything else in his life, even his family. Now, earlier I said it’s not healthy, but I never said that it’s a definite wrong. People addicted to their work all the time, and sometimes it brings out the best of them. So, how to have an addiction POSITIVELY? First, make sure it’s not self destructive, like go for drugs or alcohol. Second, your surroundings must accept that addiction, especially your family. And third, do it responsibly, like don’t get yourself killed. Luckily, in this movie, that addicted soldier has it all.
