| I dont know why its getting a lot of hype now. I must of seen this movie 10 months ago now. The EOD team I was on watched it in Afghanistan, we basically did the same job as the team depicted, although mine was not to walk up and disarm it. I filled support roles back at the truck. Its not very realistic in terms of procedures to disarm IEDs but it was still entertaining. I didn't find the movie that great. I'll venture to say the hype is partically about showing the mental strain and dangers of those in conflict right now in the Middle East. |

What's the deal with the movie directors and their disdain for realism?
They seem to be unable to make a realistic war movie whenever they do a Vietnam movie, Iraq movie or a medieval movie. |

Because it is art.
It is entertainment, fiction.
If you want to see real footage why don´t watch it then? |

| It's a movie so if it isnt 100% real that's OK. If I want to see IED disarming for real I'll watch a documentary. It's probably pretty boring though, so directors change things to add drama and sometimes to speed things up. After all there's only 100 minutes. |

I hate when I have to repeat myself to a intellectual man like you.
Yes, it is just for for entertainment. Don´t use your brains. Watch it and be happy. |

Frankly, I wouldn't be so sure. A lot of non-intellectual people form their opinions on various periods basing on movies, because it's their only contact with the history.
So, such "art" can be dangerous. |

Love the movie, Hurt Locker is a good film and watched it three times last week.
There's no 100% accurate movie about real-life wars or for any other subject. Two nights ago I was watching a documentary based on the pilot that was shot down in Bosnia that inspired the movie Behind Enemy Lines with Owen Wilson and I was really smiling the entire time recalling the explosive action packed sequences during the rescue scene in the movie, and rebel hideout being attacked by a Serb division -- all didn't happen. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, in fact it was fun and served itself well as an entertainment. |

Strawman argument. I didn't say that such movies should be forbidden or censored. I just said that they promote a distorted image of history.

| So you aren't interested in history and you never read historical books? And you certainly don't play semi-realistic historical wargames? |
