How do Kathryn Bigelow's films, The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, use language to depict the lives of combatants during battle?Kathryn Bigelow is one of the most emblematic directors of modernity. era. His sense of language representation remains unopposed. She mainly makes war films. Several of his works have been highly praised, such as The Weight of Water, The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, etc. They won her several awards and secured her place among the most influential directors of all time. The Hurt Locker is a slow-paced film. Most of the scenes were deeply crafted with excessive depiction of the character's expression. Set during the Iraq War, it illustrates the lives of three soldiers who carry out the most terribly dangerous job in the world: working on a mine clearance team. They risk their lives every day to keep the society they help safe. It's an extremely harsh and touching film, which conveys the message that when you love something and repeat it over and over again, it becomes an obsession and you can't live without it. Most of the characters in the film can be interconnected with the actors where they have a dangerous passion. There are several metaphors buried in each scene that, when examined closely, reveal the political meaning. The main character of The Hurt Locker, Sergeant First Class William James, is, metaphorically, a representation of America, often featuring him and his team members. in danger. He considers his disastrous work his usual desire. His exposition takes place at 11:04 minutes, where he is newly housed. The shot begins with a close-up of his face covered with the outside of his arms, a cigarette between his fingers and an obvious eavesdropping...... middle of paper...... uh a group of children throwing stones at their vehicles. A wide shot is provided to emphasize the importance of Eldridge and how he protected the group without ever requiring cheering. After his service, James returns home to his wife and son. He can't always convince Connie to like her job as a bomb technician. However, he tells his son that one day the things that seem special to him may no longer seem special to him. He admits that he only likes one thing in the world and that he cannot live his life if he is bored. He returns to the army with his role as a bomb technician. This again has a direct connection to the opening quote. On the other hand, Zero Dark Thirty is a relatively fast-paced film, depicting the tale of the manhunt for Osama bin Laden. and a deadly addiction, because war is a drug."
