The Hurt Locker/WMG: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

== Every vote that [[The Hurt Locker]] got in the Oscars was directly related to the letters that that French financier producer sent out. ==

 

It was a [[Batman Gambit]]; the film was [[Oscar Bait]] anyway, but it wouldn't have been voted for without him because almost no one in the Academy had seen it. Seriously, that film has the lowest gross for a Best Picture ''ever'', and ticket prices used to be a lot lower than they are now. But when it was put in terms of smacking down the biggest blockbuster in the history of the Oscars (unadjusted for inflation, but that might be fixed next summer), the idea became appealing.

 

 

* That was our French financier. In the future he originally came from, [[The Hurt Locker]] had a script written but was never made because, well, it was clear that very few people would want to see it. Instead, we get scifi films winning award shows. This hurt the art film industry. Our timetraveller was willing to finance an English-language film to make sure art films would continue to win Oscars for decades to come.

* The continued [[Sci Fi Ghetto|ghettofication]] of science fiction led to an unintended slight delay of technological development. This is why [[YouTube]] and [[Gears of War]] were developed at a later date in ''our'' timeline than in the film.

 

== The Hurt Locker is an accurate depiction of what took place in the Iraq War. ==

** [[Flat What|...What]]
