On the Modernity of Narrative Discourse in Contemporary Movies

In The Hurt Locker—the best movie at the 82nd Oscars,the background and the story are based on the ongoing war between USA and Iraq,thus it is necessary to make a breakthrough in the narrative of movies and the expression of themes with respect to the depiction of such an actual historical event. In a word,the movie allows much for further interpretation by researchers in its choice of war motif,its portrayal of human psychological state in times of war and its utilization of narrative modes.
