Kathryn Bigelow

Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People
Kathryn Bigelow’s career journey has been a stark one. An artist by  training, she became a Hollywood darling with the neo-vampiric Near  Dark. Her passion for films that challenge conventional sympathies  (crooked cops, a heroic Russian submarine commander) led to long spells  of being shunned by the studios.  But Bigelow, 58, always found her way back. And with The Hurt Locker,  her first feature in seven years, she captured the intense, skewered  madness of war and the distortion in men’s souls. The result was two  richly deserved Oscars.
Yet despite enormous accolades, her film is considered a financial  failure — like all films about the Iraq war. The question lingers: Why,  despite our country’s love affair with violence, do Americans refuse to  see these realistic films? With The Hurt Locker, Bigelow  unflinchingly stuck her finger in the tragic heart of a national wound —  our inability to face ourselves.
