7 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About The Hurt Locker! 

"How to Get Your Ass Kicked" step 1: (Legit though, this movie is a steaming pile of donkey shit.)

That is funny to do

Nick Maclachlan Ahahaha

Doesn't even need to be someone in EOD. Ask ANY who is in the military or have ever been in the military...

@@unfortunately_fortunate2000 LOL, oh damn, now it's settled.

Nope, wouldn't "admit" that at all because it's not at all true... I guess if you're a civie and have no clue how terrible stupid everything is then it might be ok, but even then...

Talking Hands Alright to each there own, idk I really liked the way the movie was shot and the way that it took a stance on war and the modern military. From a cinematic standpoint, I felt that the movie was filmed in a very captivating way with tension created through angles. Plot wise the idea that war is addicting was interesting as it was an idea that I never thought would have been fleshed out at that time. Besides all of that I have to say that I loved Renners performance as his capability as an actor showed through the inaccuracies of the movie giving (at least for me) a good sense of suspension of disbelief. But again to each their own.

@@aarnavpanchal646 But that's the thing, the way she tried to portray the military, the military command structure, the whole "war is addicting" crap, all of it is also completely wrong. She basically was trying to push her own preconceived opinions about the military in the movie and it was complete garbage as a result because she obviously has absolutely no clue. Even the "tension" you speak of is created with these really forced situations that would never happen, which is just lazy writing in my opinion...

Talking Hands I get where you’re coming from, I can see your point and while there is some laziness in the writing I can say that it wasn’t enough for me to not enjoy the movie, but still I get your point

@@aarnavpanchal646 I know it's subjective and everyone will have their opinions, but it's just so aggravating for me how this movie got a bunch of awards and all of this accolade and I watched it and went "WTF???"

Played a bit of a wild man in that too

Schindler's List.

Harrison Clark Birdman was really not very good.

The World Is Logic yes it fucking was!

The World Is Logic Birdman was very good

Citizen Kane

I wouldn't have had a problem with it if it didn't try to portray itself as being so authentic.

PurpleIsALetter So... It gives EOD techs the same treatment as the show House did with doctors. Most morons didn't even know the real guys existed before this movie. Your point is?

I'm sorry but when a film is going for gritty realism and then the "bomb defusal expert" is so completely incompetent that it's a miracle he didn't accidentally blow himself up during training, it creates a giant disconnect as well as plot hole.

RogueBishop89 House wasnt that bad. actually made doctors look more competent. who lets a doctor into a lab?

Alistair Shaw Also don't forget that he manages to get a headshot,800 metres away,on a moving target, with a Barret, despite being an EOD specialist

Renaissance MarineTV what's wrong with it?

How they treat each other, the tactics they use, how reckless they are. it is a constant example of what not to do if you don't want to get someone killed.

Alex Campe now I feel stupid for thinking it is realistic

there are a lot of things wrong with it. I would have to watch it again to give you a blow by blow. many of the tactics are unrealistic.

Renaissance MarineTV You know what, you should contact Everything Wrong With... and make a hurt locker episode with your knowledge That would make it a really interesting episode.

Yes it was amazing

Henry Rahardja If this movie is overrated and unrealistic, what does that make American Sniper?

+RogueBishop89 also bad

+RogueBishop89 you don't get a pass for being less shitty than something else.

aR0ttenBANANA96 Again, waiting for a reason as to what actually sucks about it. I'm not even saying it was Oscar-worthy. There is plenty to say as far as valid criticism, but you'd rather just state your subjective view of it as fact. In reality, you're just backing up what Henry said.

Fake baby^

That’s the thing.

Yes

Yes

Yep.

Not at all. The movie was a blast.

MALKOVICH!!

+1 to this

Looks like you just directed garabage.

i love your profile 👌🏼👌🏼

Khyber's Pass is a fucking epic song to use for the end credits👌🏻🤘🏻

Billy Blazes there's an old British tv show called Bomb disposal I think. It's about the first bomb squad in England during the Blitz. My father, an army EOD tech, says it's accurate with the bomb disposal stuff.

Billy Blazes just remembered, is called UXB(I believe)

It's not just its inaccuracy. I enjoy some really cheesy stupidly inaccurate war movies. The problem is the message this movie tries to push about the military. About how the film tries to portray how things were done. And yes, then pile on the heaping piles of total and utter bullshit that they try to pass off as accurate and it just seals the deal on how terrible this movie is. Seriously, I know you're a civilian who have never served (I make this assumption only because you enjoyed the movie, it's not meant to be an insult toward you, but there's absolutely ZERO chance of you liking this film if you have any knowledge of the military what-so-ever) but even you should recognize when film-makers actually spend the time to make sure they represent something accurately or at least make the attempt at authenticity. The only thing done in this movie was the setting and making the surroundings look good. Other than that everything was a total disregard for accuracy... And a lot of the movie relied on really forced drama that really shouldn't have happened in order to keep the tension. That kind of artificially forced drama is just lazy writing regardless of the film's overall accuracy...

My condolences to you man, hope you didn't lose too many braincells from watching this load of garbage...

Elaborate

Yah, I guess it's sometimes cool to watch a funny movie that is a complete joke when it comes to representing how the military works and how real warfare is. Except this wasn't intended to be comedic... Might as well have been a modern Hot Shots movie.

It may be true of modern day modern vehicles, but is it also true for the older and poorer countries and the wrecks people drive there? Have we not progressed in glass production in 100 years in any way?

@@MrGrooved Yes, laws of Physics still apply.

I was never deployed to Iraq but hated it just the same. Pretty much anyone with any knowledge of the military should hate this movie...

Levi Peterson Hahahahahaha.

I smiled...

this joke is trash

You are garbage

About sums up this movie.

"moving on"

Also just in general, anyone in the marines or who has seen action says it was fucking garbage, which I'm more enclosed to believe than the director.

aR0ttenBANANA96 take a break and enjoy the movie for once okay?

Don't put yourself through the torture.

Talking Hands already watched it and it was as good as the first time I watched it...

@@BagPussHerobrine "as good" so just as terrible as before? Got it. :-P

@@TalkingHands308 just because you personally didn't enjoy a film doesn't make it bad, I couldn't stand The Shining, it bored me, but it was a masterpiece by one of the greatest directors of all time. You just have bad taste because the Hurt Locked was objectively a good film...

@@BagPussHerobrine Um, nah, lmfao. It is not objectively a good film. What makes it a good film, the fact that it relies heavily on forced dramatic situations that would never logically happen? Like when that car drives right through a military check point without getting lit the hell up by the troops manning that checkpoint with automatic rifles? Or that really forced situation where the car catches on fire due to someone shooting at it, something that has been proven over and over doesn't happen? Or the EOD guy just randomly yanking on wires pulling up bombs while he's standing there? Or him sneaking out into hostile territory by himself in the middle of the night? Or that ridiculously dumb sniper scene where somehow a Barrett M107 jams because of a little blood, like, wut? LMFAO, or how apparently a SAS sniper team can be eliminated by some insurgent guy with a medium-ranged marksman rifle shooting WAY beyond the range of the gun he/she was using (you can tell distance by the time it takes for the rounds to reach the target from when they are fired). And how somehow some random EOD guys apparently are better snipers than all of them? LMAO. Like seriously, all of the "tension" in this movie was forced from the most illogical situations ever. And that's not even scratching the surface for why this film is bad since that doesn't even account for all of the really inaccurate ways the military is portrayed in the movie. So even if you're not familiar with the military, the points I mentioned alone already show really lazy story writing. Sorry, this isn't "objectively a good film." It won an Oscar for political reasons, because the "Academy" likes anything that portrays the military in that way. You must be really naïve if you don't recognize how terrible movies win Oscars all of the time due to political reasons...
