Oscar winner Mark Boal on the psychology behind The Hurt Locker

Yes, of course, I'm thrilled that a woman finally won a Best Director Oscar, but I love that so much credit for The Hurt Locker went to writer Mark Boal last night. (Was there even a mention of the guy who wrote the book The Blind Side?) Anyway, here's a great interview with Mark Boal on Vulture, and below, he speaks to the psychology of why men fight.



Overall, I think it was a pretty good night for writers. The next sound you hear: an outboard motor gunning into high gear on Sapphire's career.
