      <![CDATA[That was a quote from Chris Hedges's book, check out this interview on NPR from 2002: <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1149399" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p&hellip;</a>  He's pretty outspoken anti-war, check out his columns, just google his name. <br>
<br>
jegs- I think you might be wrong and that was the same kid, although your interpretation might have made more sense as far as that scene...<br>
<br>
Also anyone notice similarities between this movie and The War Lover?

      <![CDATA[I can't tell you how relieved I am to read this considering how many critics groups are awarding Best Picture to The Hurt Locker. <br>
<br>
It's a well-crafted film and excellent in parts, but I didn't find the depth I'd been anticipating from it.

      <![CDATA[You are not watching closely..(spoiler alert) The kid he killed who you claimed is not dead is really dead. The second kid selling DVDs looked a bit like the first but you can see and hear they are different kids..Hence, the lead actor's dismayed reaction when he see another innocent kid.

      <![CDATA[Another difference is that the average filmgoer does not derive pleasure from placing a film within its director's oeuvre, because the average filmgoer only very rarely has any idea who directed the movie he's watching.<br>
<br>
The average filmgoer may have some vague notion that this is the same lady what made Point Break, but certainly won't do as we did--especially here at the L where we talked about Bigelow in a review and a video and a separate essay--and find the film fascinating for the ways in which even its flaws, like the chaplain bit, deepen our understanding of a unique auteur. (Nor will the average filmmaker ignore the script's corny and manipulative bits because they're somewhat superfluous to the film as it relates to Bigelow's body of work.)
