The Hurt Locker

Won­dered if it was pos­si­ble for any­one to actu­al­ly make a film that cap­tures the soul-crush­ing hope­less­ness of war with­out deliv­er­ing a ham­fist­ed mes­sage that turns peo­ple off. The Hurt Lock­er did that for me. Grant­ed, it has­n’t changed the fact that we’re still heav­i­ly engaged in both Iraq and Afghanistan, despite elect­ing a Pres­i­dent who promised to change all that.

Work hard­er, Obama.
