"[…]
So let’s not get too excited here. The Hurt Locker is not a reportage on the state of the Iraq War, an hagiography for the bomb-disposal squad, a pamphlet of liberal condemnation; The Hurt Locker is just a movie.
Screenwriting has specific requirements: heightening of action, climax, structure, detail, development of subjectivity - it’s never real, no matter how closely it may resembles real life.
Getting confused about that is a big problem, because it absolves of responsibility those who are actually supposed to tell us the truth about war - and that is not necessarily the Hollywood clan."

    Interesting angle on “The Hurt Locker”. One of the best films I’ve seen in a while, but apparently it’s not so accurate.
