Yesterday I watched this movie which took everyone by surprise by winning the Acedemy Awards for The Best Film, winning over the 500million budget’s Avatar. Yea, you are right, it’s The Hurt Locker
Seriously, I was as surprise as most of you when I read the newpaper. I went like “WHAT????What the fuck is The Hurt Locker??”
So yesterday I watched it and I should say it’s a very good movie. Totally different from Avatar I should say. It really very gan cheong unlike Avatar where the you actually know the story like the good guy tries to beat the bad guy but initially loose but then eventually come back from behind and win. This movie seriously made my heart pouncing every minute when they trying to defuse the bomb. It was hard to me to predict when the bomb will explode. I can actually feel the feeling of being in the war zone where my life is in danger most of the time.
I’m not going to do any review for the movie because you can find it easily in the net.
For me the feeling of watching The Hurt Locker is much better than Avatar. The movie is more real compare to Avatar where only the graphic is worth all the praise. For me, I’d choose this type of movie over the movie which is like Avatar. For me, I like to watch movies that are able to reach deep inside me.
Oh…By the way, from wikipedia, it says that The Hurt Locker’s film producer emailed a group Acedemy Award voters in attempt to pursue them to vote for The Hurt Locker instead Avatar. He managed to and thanks to him, I got to know this movie.
You should give it a try and let me know what you think…
Maybe it’s a personal preference, I prefer true story inspired movie.
Invictus will be the next I shall watch.
