my emotional response for Hurtlocker Sandborns breakdown scene

This scene makes me feel uncomfortable and sympathetic towards sandborn up until this point he has been a very calm and strong man and has dealt with life threatening situations well. This scene shows how he realises he has nothing to remember him by and he will die with nothing to leave no legacy in a way. The reason i think thi scene makes me feel uncompfortable is because the cinematography is the same throughout the whole conversation of both men it makes me feel as if i am spying on the conversation it gives you a voyeristic feel to the scen like this is a private conversation and we should not be there as up to this point sandborn and James are seen as very masculine and they are crying and talking. The sounds makes me feel sympathetic also as the music is practically not there it is so faint so it sets the mood so you can hear this conversion.
