PLAYING<br />
IN THE<br />
SANDBOX<br />
The Hurt Locker opens with the quote “war is a drug.”<br />
Stars Anthony Mackie and Jeremy Renner discuss how they got hooked.<br />
// BY TIFFANIE GREEN AND LAYLA SCHLACK<br />
WHEN JEREMY RENNER (The<br />
Assassination of Jessse James by the<br />
Coward Robert Ford and 28 Weeks Later)<br />
and Anthony Mackie (Notorious, We<br />
Are Marshall) started shooting The<br />
Hurt Locker, they were dropped into<br />
Amman, Jordan, in 115-degree heat,<br />
no cameras in sight, to tell the story of<br />
a bomb-disposal unit in Iraq, where<br />
homemade explosives planted in cars<br />
and buildings are insurgents’ weapons<br />
of choice. The locations and missions<br />
were diff erent for the actors than for<br />
the soldiers they portrayed, but the<br />
conditions—the sweat, the hard work,<br />
the camaraderie—were all the same.<br />
Renner plays the squad leader, Staff<br />
Sgt. William James, who’s a whiz at<br />
defusing explosive ordnance, but not<br />
so great at following protocol; Mackie<br />
plays his fastidious, professional<br />
second in command, Sgt. J.T. Sanborn in<br />
this intense but deliberately paced fi lm.<br />
Thwarting the conventions of actionladen<br />
war movies, The Hurt Locker often<br />
strives for truth over bravado—almost<br />
as much time is spent waiting around<br />
or searching for bombs as is spent<br />
disposing of them. But that’s not to say<br />
this is a snoozer—there’s a healthy does<br />
of genre fodder: outbursts of machismo,<br />
bombs exploding.

So what is it about this fi lm that has<br />
generated early Oscar buzz? How did<br />
it garner higher per-screen sales than<br />
the big-budget Transformers 2, which<br />
was released at the same time? It seems<br />
that what made the fi lm a runaway hit—<br />
when most movies about the Iraq war,<br />
such as last year’s Stop-Loss and 2007’s<br />
Redacted, fi zzled pretty quickly—is its<br />
gritty, detailed simulacrum of soldiers’<br />
life in the “sandbox.”<br />
The realism was provided by<br />
reporter-cum-screenwriter Mark<br />
Boal, who was embedded with a bomb<br />
squad in Baghdad during the end of<br />
2004. Inspired by Boal’s 2005 Playboy<br />
article “The Man in the Bomb Suit,”<br />
director Kathryn Bigelow (a rare breed,<br />
a woman directing primarily action<br />
movies, including Point Break and K-19:<br />
The Widowmaker) set out to create a fi lm<br />
that explores the kinds of characters<br />
who make up an Explosive Ordnance<br />
Disposal unit. She enlisted Boal to write<br />
BIG<br />
SCREEN<br />
BATTLES<br />
Every great confl ict has a few fi lms<br />
to tell its tale. We look at the iconic<br />
fi lms inspired by some of the major<br />
wars. You decide how The Hurt<br />
Locker stacks up.<br />
THE LONGEST DAY / 1962<br />
FEATURING Eddie Albert, Paul Anka,<br />
Richard Burton<br />
DIRECTED BY Ken Annakin,<br />
Andrew Marton<br />
This D-Day epic shows both Ally and<br />
German perspectives.<br />
a script that would show people what’s<br />
really going on in the ground in Iraq.<br />
And with authenticity a clear priority,<br />
she took a slightly unconventional<br />
approach when it was time to start<br />
fi lming.<br />
“YOU NEVER KNEW where the cameras<br />
were,” says Mackie.<br />
Bigelow had them hidden—placed<br />
all around the set, tucked away in<br />
drawers and secreted high in building<br />
spires. The Panopticon-like fi lming<br />
environment forced the actors to truly<br />
become their characters. The resulting<br />
unscripted moments and give the movie<br />
a documentary feel. “It did feel like the<br />
actors were living this experience,” says<br />
Bigelow.<br />
“Eighty percent of the time, it didn’t<br />
feel like we were shooting a movie,”<br />
Renner remembers. “We just had to<br />
lean on each other and focus on the<br />
task at hand, try to keep it as real as we<br />
ALL QUIET ON THE<br />
WESTERN FRONT / 1930<br />
FEATURING Louis Wolheim,<br />
Lew Ayres, John Wray<br />
DIRECTED BY Lewis Milestone<br />
A harsh, realistic World War I epic.<br />
MASH / 1970<br />
FEATURING Donald Sutherland,<br />
Elliott Gould, Robert Duvall<br />
DIRECTED BY Robert Altman<br />
The precursor to the TV series<br />
fi nds black humor in a Korean War<br />
fi eld hospital.<br />
could.” For him, that meant putting on<br />
an authentic 100-pound, metal-plated<br />
bomb suit and a massive helmet. One of<br />
the crew’s challenges was keeping him<br />
hydrated. But for Renner, not knowing<br />
where the cameras were was a bigger<br />
hurdle. “It was really diffi cult, because<br />
I’m used to understanding where the<br />
cameras are,” he says. “We called them<br />
ninja cameras.”<br />
Mackie (a Juilliard-trained theater<br />
actor before breaking into fi lm) on<br />
the other hand, enjoyed the hidden<br />
cameras. “They got some really cool<br />
unscripted stuff ,” he says. And this was<br />
Bigelow’s intention; she didn’t direct<br />
the actors much on set, leaving them<br />
to work out situations on their own<br />
(incidentally, not unlike what EOD unit<br />
members have to do).<br />
“All the direction was given a year<br />
prior to principal photography, sitting<br />
over a glass of wine, discussing the<br />
character with Kathryn. [Staff Sgt.<br />
GONE WITH THE WIND / 1939<br />
FEATURING Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh<br />
DIRECTED BY Victor Fleming<br />
The Civil War brings the city of<br />
Atlanta—and the Southern belles<br />
therein—to its knees.<br />
APOCALYPSE NOW / 1979<br />
FEATURING Marlon Brando,<br />
Martin Sheen<br />
DIRECTED BY Francis Ford Coppola<br />
This Oscar-winner has an all-star cast<br />
embarking on an assassination plot<br />
during the Vietnam War.
William James] was a really well<br />
written character. For me, the job,<br />
the suit, those things really brought<br />
what we had discussed together.”<br />
Renner says. “She shot the fi lm staying<br />
out of the way. She didn’t say anything<br />
specifi c; her direction was how she<br />
shot it.”<br />
And Mackie did have someone on<br />
set he looked to for guidance—Renner.<br />
“Sometimes there are leading men who<br />
run a set,” he says. “Jeremy has that gift<br />
for making people feel special. As far as<br />
you go, he’ll meet you halfway. We had<br />
a friendship there, and Kathryn just let<br />
us run with it.”<br />
THE TWO ACTORS saw that same kind<br />
of camaraderie in the EOD units<br />
with which they spent time. Renner<br />
observed and interviewed troops at<br />
Fort Irwin in California, and Mackie<br />
hung out with soldiers in North<br />
Carolina at Fort Bragg.<br />
Although Mackie developed a pretty<br />
specifi c idea of who his character<br />
was—“he wanted to leave a legacy, have<br />
children, coach soccer and T-ball”—he<br />
had a lot to learn about the complex<br />
psychological aff ects war has on the<br />
people on the front line.<br />
“Of the men I talked to, some felt<br />
guilty for not being over there, and a<br />
lot of guys didn’t want to go over at all,”<br />
Mackie says. “One thing they said was<br />
just to be honest to the story—realize<br />
that they’re regular guys, don’t try to<br />
make them into superheroes.”<br />
He also got some insight into<br />
renegade characters like Renner’s Sgt.<br />
James. “They were telling me that those<br />
kind of guys are really rare. When they<br />
meet them, they stay away from them,<br />
or those guys get lumped together so<br />
they can go off and be mavericky on<br />
their own.”<br />
Meanwhile Renner, who has a lot<br />
of experience playing tough guys<br />
onscreen, used the opportunity to fi nd<br />
out what it’s really like to put one’s self<br />
in danger on a day-to-day basis.<br />
“The mindset of the EOD guys<br />
is mental toughness, not physical<br />
toughness,” he says. “They would play<br />
RENNER (FRONT) AND MACKIE<br />
with C4 that could take us all out, and<br />
they weren’t afraid of that. I don’t have<br />
the courage to do what our men and<br />
women in the service do. It nearly<br />
killed me, and I was only shooting a<br />
movie. The job becomes such a part of<br />
their life—you don’t just punch in and<br />
punch out.”<br />
“It didn’t feel like we were shooting<br />
a movie. We just had to lean on<br />
each other and focus on our task.”<br />
Likewise, Renner’s character fi nds<br />
it impossible to leave the war behind.<br />
When he returns home to his wife<br />
and young son, the audience fi nds<br />
him going through the motions of<br />
normalcy—grocery shopping, helping<br />
with dinner and reading to his child—<br />
but the message is clear: That’s not<br />
where he wants to be.<br />
Infusing characters with such a<br />
brooding, enigmatic quality is Renner’s<br />
M.O. “I’m attracted to characters who<br />
communicate something without<br />
words,” he says “I’d rather not have<br />
to say a lot of dialogue to convey<br />
something. I’m a complex person; if<br />
my characters are not complex, I make<br />
them more complicated. I want to make<br />
them more human.”<br />
PART OF THE HURT LOCKER’S power lies<br />
in its ability to focus on the humanity<br />
of its characters without waxing<br />
political about the war. “I don’t like<br />
that kind of [political] movie,” Renner<br />
says. “This movie is meant to entertain.<br />
It forces the audience to think and feel,<br />
but not what to think and feel.”<br />
Bigelow said in an interview with<br />
Salon that taking a political stance is<br />
a mistake in a war movie so topical<br />
because it alienates viewers who aren’t<br />
on the same side as the movie. “This<br />
story is more reportorial than anything<br />
else,” she said. “There’s always a<br />
tendency to take a movie like this and<br />
put it in a box, in terms of whatever<br />
partisan politics you might come<br />
in with... For me, this story is about<br />
unpacking the psychology of guys who<br />
do this job.”<br />
By zooming in on the day-to-day<br />
lives of the soldiers, the audience<br />
almost forgets that they’re in Iraq,<br />
fi ghting a politically charged war<br />
that’s ongoing. “One of the major<br />
fl aws of other Iraq war fi lms that<br />
have been made is that they forget<br />
the characters,” Mackie says. “What<br />
Kathryn attempted to do was to<br />
portray the psychological toll warfare<br />
takes on those men and women who<br />
are in the trenches. This movie gives<br />
kudos to those soldiers.”

“A suspenseful, poignant, sci-fi indie. A chillingly clever homage to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001.”—The New York Times<br />

It is the near future. Astronaut Sam Bell is living on the far side of the moon, completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries to mine earth’s primary<br />
source of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made harder by a broken satellite that allows no live communications home. Suddenly, his health starts to<br />
deteriorate. Painful headaches, hallucinations and a lack of focus lead to an almost-fatal accident. After returning to the base (with no memory of how he got<br />
there), Sam realizes that he is fi ghting and must fi gure out where he fi ts into company plans.<br />
