Re: Hurt Lockergate
Interesting. I was predicting this thread was going to be about the outrage from Iraq war veterans about how utterly ridiculous and insultingly misguided way the movie represented them. I REALLY hope this movie doesn't win... I enjoyed it, but come on, it just strings together a bunch of tense scenes and calls it a movie.

At the risk of sounding unpatriotic (I really do support the troops) I am embarrassed on behalf of any soldiers protesting the realism of Hurt Locker.
Training Day did not depict a realistic day in the life of a police officer. Neither does any movie about Doctors, Scientists or Carpenters.
The fact that some soldiers think that they are somehow different or special (ie. More Important) than anyone else portrayed in films is silly.

I don't think they are just acting against the movie because they find the film to be unrealistic."Your intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way.-
