Watched 47 minutes of Edge of Darkness. So far so good.
Digression - related news - Jafar Panahi Arrested in Iran for unconfirmed political reasons.
The press watchdog had kept the reasons discreet. Awaiting inaccurate, furnished reasons. Non-political reasons when it's abundantly clear that it's due to his involvement with Green movement. :banghead:

Re. Hurt Locker
Of all three main characters, it's clear as crystal, Will is obsessed, and persistent, despite the emotional and physical turmoil. The bloke hasn't got a soul back home who is mildly interested with his urge to be back to field, and the war anecdotes, except if we consider the amusement of his baby-child who doesn't understand a thing he says. And his ex-wife, still living with him, is seemingly "okay" with it. In an earlier scene, he takes offence at Sanborn's demeaning assertion of her as "dumb" to still live with him, and cuts back she's just loyal, but she doesn't look any interested in him either. So, William puts-on a pretense of the meaningless relationship. But after that, the whole Delta army thing, heavy metal, and subtitled "365 days for rotation", is extremely loud.
We get that EOD is not only his vocation and interest, and keeps his adrenaline going, but the only "love" he could afford to be in. The heavy metal music he often listens to, used as BGM as he opts to stay forever, having joined Delta company. That ending was really not necessary. At least doing it that explicitly (which until then, was quite subtle), is slightly cringe-inducing. In fact, in one of the roundtable discussion on script writing, almost every award nominated scriptwriter joked it needs a rewrite. I agree.
The Road
Adapted from the depressing, cathartic, yet poetic and beautiful, award-winning novel written by Cormac Mccarthy. One of the best speculative post-apocalyptic fiction I've ever read. The film was able to create the characters (some of the best acting performances of the year gets snubbed by awards, Duh ! ), the mood, and the alternating POVs. Yet it achieves most with a slightly prosaic touch. The images were starkly reproduced from words without some of the poetry, that the landscape evokes a whole differently from that of the book, naturally a chunk of author's description (pedagogics that the medium could afford) is missed out. A lot to see in the imagery, but one could never achieve the level of articulateness and poetry of the book. As is the complaint of the emotional core being scarcely brought out, but it's always going to be difficult to compare the perceived beauty from different mediums. Overall, a commendable effort. Much better than some of the inferior works being nominated for awards. Perhaps the weight of its source material, had pulled it down...
