This is a movie that I had watched in theaters with some of my best friends and I really enjoyed it. Then a few months later my dad rented it and we watched it again. But the rental sparked the question in my mind "Why is the title the 'Hurt Locker'?" For me, unless I get hit over the head during the movie through blatant obviousness or the title actually being said in the movie as somebody's line, I pretty much have no chance of figuring out what the title means. So, I googled it.
Google: Why is it called the Hurt Locker. Nothin.... All I got was a wiki page about the movie and some random critics choice articles. So... i refined my search to:
Google: What is a hurt locker. And the answer is... obvious? Thanks to this from Urban Dictionary, a site which never fails to make me feel increasingly stupid at the lack of slang I know, definition for a hurt locker is a period of immense, inescapable physical or emotional pain. So, yeah... pretty obvious, makes sense with the perspective of the movie and basically reassures me that my "deep thinking" skills don't swim farther than the 3 ft. zone in the pool.
