For the first time in history, a lady got Oscar award too. Kathryn Bigelow for her film The Hurt has received the Oscar and showed the women film makers around the world that nothing is impossible. The movie is more like a documentary.
WOMEN ARE more strong than men. Their emotional level is some what pretty high. Women film makers around the world are very bold. They deal with uncommon themes. They have got the nerve to question almost everything. Now-a-days, more and more women are attracted towards films. This is a good sign since films are a universal medium. For the first time in history, a lady got Oscar award too. Kathryn Bigelow showed the women film makers around the world that nothing is impossible.
Oscar is not a criteria to determine the quality of a movie. But because of the popularity it is indeed an attention puller. Rarely good films get Oscars. Last year also the Oscar winning movie was not a good one. Slumdog Millionaire was not a great movie.
It was an imitation of old Bollywood movies. Yet it swept the Oscars. Danny Boyle is a good director, his craft is well accomplished. But Slumdog Millionaire was not his best movie. There is a belief that Oscars are given to movies which favour the United States. The Hurt Locker proves that this belief is true in a sense.
In one line, one can easily say that the movie The Hurt Locker didn't lock your heart. There are no scenes in the movie which are good enough to go straight into your mind. More than a movie it is a documentary.
The mine blasting scenes are the only ones which have got any specialty. In one scene the soldiers give water to the prisoners. So many such scenes are fabricated in the movie to please the US audience. As all the people around the world know the politics behind Iraq war, the movies do not touch it. So it can be of human sufferings, grief, relations. But nothing is shown well there. Sometimes tries, but ends up in big failure.
The Hurt Locker is written by Mark Boal. The selection of the theme is good. Apart from that no credentials can be claimed. The screen play is like a news story with out any human touch (only close up shots do not give human touch to a movie). The Hurt locker is a movie made to win only awards not the hearts of the people. It is a peripheral documentary. But not a good one. My heart didn't lock! Once again it is proved that Oscars usually gives to movies which please US audience as a whole.
