     I think that the film "The Hurt Locker" greatly portrays realism. The situations that the soldiers go through in the movie are undoubtedly similar to soldiers in real life. We have always heard about bombings and terrorist, but we never really had a image and haven't seen much about them. We get to see the real life situations that soldiers go through.
    I think that the viewers gain a new insight to this part of life of soldiers. It effects the viewers how any other movie that contains real life and death situations; it gives the viewer fresh eyes to see what happens in war. I think that the viewers who may have experienced similar situations would be sucked back into the feelings that they had when they went through that experience.


      I think the biggest take away from this class is new ways of thinking; we learned how to look at things in a different light so to speak. We though critically on many things. I am not sure what there would be to change about the class. I think that near the end of the year that it would be awesome for the class to make a video themselves. We didn't get to do that, but I think it would have turned out pretty nicely if we had the chance to make videos and have that experience as a filmmaker.
