hurt locker

It is those final few moments of Hurt Locker that really, really show Kathryn Bigelow's style. I didn't expect to like this movie, mostly because of the subject matter. But it is really damn good.

Yeah. I saw too much of myself in that movie.

Oh, that I can understand completely. Hard, hard, hard watching.

I've been afraid to watch it.

It's hard. Someone I know was hurt in an explosion there, and a kid I went to elementary school with died in a separate incident. SO I feel weird watching movies set in this place, because that is all I think about.

The film itself is fantastic. It reminded me most of her movie Strange Days.

I liked Strange Days.

I haven't seen it yet, but we did watch The Messenger last night. It was harrowing and tender all at once.

I still need to catch up with that; I work with the sister of one of the actors (Brian Geraghty).
