The sentiment of The Hurt Locker

Today I watched a film which is called The Hurt Locker. This movie had been done in 2008 but it is very famous now. It is unbelievable that this movie was made by a

woman--Kathryn Ann Bigelow because it is about a troop of USA Army called EOD, which has a special and dangerous work—to disarm the bombs.

When I watched this movie I almost felt that I was together with these brave people in Iraq, because this film was made like a documentary, the sway scene, the sound of breathes, the sweat on their faces, everything is so real that made me feel being shocked. The film is very serious and strained. Sometime the bombs explode suddenly and made the native people feel scared, people cried and screamed, sometimes they just looked at the army working peacefully because they have been used to it. In the film, sometime we can see something which is relaxed, like James played football with a native boy, I was moved by the honest and simply dialogues between the two guys but the director just wants to tell us how cruel the war is because at the middle of the movie, the little boy was killed ruthlessly by the people who wanted to put the bomb into his body.

In the movie, the main character named James, he is so good at this job, and he can finish the work quickly and

easily. But on the other hand he is always personal heroism and he has a strange hobby, which is collecting the initiating systems of the bombs which he had disarmed. As the word in front of the movie “The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug”, James has an addiction to disarm bombs. The lead of film is the countdown of days they stayed in Iraq, at the end of the movie, James went back to his home, he couldn’t stand to the ordinary life, when he went to a market to buy some oatmeal, he almost didn’t know how to select, I felt a little sad and pity which is hard to say. So he went back to Iraq, went back to the dangers.

There is some shortcoming, like the main idea of the movie is not clearly. It is hard to say what the character wants to tell us, anti-war or some others but it is definitely a good film.

第二篇：拆弹部队影评

战场上的英雄——评电影《拆弹部队》

浙江理工大学 应用心理 I09670101

《拆弹部队》是由编剧兼制片人马克·鲍尔的回忆录改编而成，讲述了伊拉克反政府武装和驻伊美军残酷斗争期间，一组美国拆弹专家被派往巴格达执行任务的故事。在那里每个当地人都像是潜在的敌人，每一个目标都像是伪装的炸弹。拆弹专家们必须时刻绷紧神经，一旦出现差错，就很可能会付出生命的代价。

《拆弹部队》中故事内容的设定以及关注的领域，都注定了它将会是一部让观众一直紧绷着神经的动作片。一开始，它便给观众呈现了一出炸弹拆除紧张画面，演示了Bravo连（即B连）拆除街头炸弹的正规程序，同时也让观众目睹了一位拆弹队长牺牲的场景。随后便是扮演B连新领队的，主角詹姆斯上士上场了。

主人公扮演着战争忍者的形象，有着固执的性格。他不遵循作业程序，总是独来独往。越危险的地方，他越是英勇果敢，他凭借着自己过人的胆识和能力化解了一次次的危机。此外，他还有着一颗热爱人类生命的心。他不惜为了卖盗版DVD的孩子身涉险境；他毫不犹豫地为了一个被迫成为人肉炸弹的陌生人，冒着极大的生命危险去拆除炸弹。詹姆斯上士无疑是一个英雄，一个天使。影片最后，主人公完成轮值工作，回到家中。

其中有一幕表现的是詹姆斯回国后在超市购物时，对着满架子的麦片一片惘然。这一幕富含着深刻的韵味。在超市可以有很多的选择，然而在战场上却总是别无选择的，一旦选择错了便会付出生命的代价。此时的詹姆斯，或许已经无法再适应恬静的生活了，因为可怕的战争已经给他的身心造成了不可磨灭的摧残。

最终，詹姆斯上士不甘于庸碌平凡的普通生活，重又选择穿上了那一身厚重的防爆服，满怀斗志地回到了他的战场。这一结局出乎人们的意料，但却又在情理之中。

《拆弹部队》成功地塑造出了一个战地英雄。对于这个英雄角色的评价，既有正面的，也有负面的。持负面评价的群体一致认为，影片塑造出的英雄形象有美化侵略者的嫌疑，有明显的美国个人英雄主义。然而笔者个人认为，持负面评价论者，大都过多地从现实地角度来评判这部影片。若是单纯地从艺术角度来赏

析这部影片，还是有很闪光点的。

电影开头有句话：“战争的狂飙突进是一种瘾，强效而致命，因为战争就是毒品。”此处的“毒品”，并不是指置身战争中的人们在享受战争的快感，而是要表达个人在战争中的无助与无奈。一旦卷入了战争，就永远无法回到之前的生活。而影片中的主角詹姆斯上士，便是这场战争中的受害者，他的身心都被战争的残酷深深毒害。

总的来说，主角詹姆斯上士给观众留下的，是不可磨灭的英雄形象。他把强大、光辉的一面呈现在大家面前，给战争中的人们带去了生的希望。抛开其他不说，詹姆斯就是战场上的英雄，真正的英雄。
