It is actually quite sad to see how low American cinema has stooped. All of which, the truly evil dictator denied having. Not once are the his intentions questioned by either the character himself or others. Not once are the his intentions questioned by either the character himself or others. The man enjoyed killing people, regarding his targets as savages, and he bragged about killing looters in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - even if he didn't, because we don't know for certain, what kind of man declares proudly his murderous inclinations? The fact that it got nominated for the Academy Award just shows how much a once acclaimed award is quickly becoming a pat on the shoulder to the most politically correct motion picture of the year. However, when he finally returns home, he finds that he cannot leave the war behind. But that does not mean he should be honored as a hero.
Throughout this film, we watch in vivid detail as Chris Kyle assassinates hundreds of Iraqi men, women, and even children in order to protect American troops. Clint Eastwood has made some bizarre public appearances in recent years. Back home to his wife and kids after four tours of duty, however, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind. Description Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.
None of which was true and the administration knew it. Despite grave danger and his struggle to be a good husband and father to his family back in the States, Kyle serves four tours of duty in Iraq. The lack of self examination in this film regarding the war in Iraq is as disturbing as it is staggering. It would be even worse to carve this propaganda into stone. I rated this movie one star because the message this movie delivers is ignorantly backwards. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids. What I do know is that this is a disgusting film.
This lie of a film was made for the same bloody money that the war was waged for. What I do know is that this is a disgusting film. I understand that Chris Kyle did his job well. Synopsis Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. And after the invasion none were found. The fact that people might actually believe this crap and most Americans do makes me lose hope for the future of a once great country.
American Sniper 2014 English Subtitles Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents. His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents. I don't know what Eastwood was thinking when he made this film. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.
Perhaps he saw an easy way to make money by appealing to the misplaced patriotism of some Americans. Many brave soldiers put their lives and limbs on the line and lost both. This is an amazing country. But what I got was 2 hours of pure biased war propaganda. Were this film a wholly fictional account of a warrior with special skills put in the service of his comrades it would be quite serviceable, though no more than that. But what I got was 2 hours of pure biased war propaganda. Reviewed by David Cervi 1 When American Sniper first came out I ignored the film thinking that it was the usual war propaganda Hollywood delivers once a year.
I love the United States. But unfortunately it was not. The Iraq war was waged for the financial gain of the oil, gas, and defense, industries. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Perhaps he saw an easy way to make money by appealing to the misplaced patriotism of some Americans. I don't see much gray. This film is not about recording history.
Kyle, Bible in hand, and tens of thousands of other wrongly informed American soldiers like him, go to Iraq to fight civilians in their living rooms and on their streets, because they were told that Sadam Hussian helped Al Qaida and was going to drop a bomb on us. Nowadays most war movies are just commercials to get the American public behind the idea that invading a foreign country is a God given right. Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who wanted to become a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. And yet, this movie ends a memorial. The man enjoyed killing people, regarding his targets as savages, and he bragged about killing looters in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - even if he didn't, because we don't know for certain, what kind of man declares proudly his murderous inclinations? It is an homage to something evil and therefore it's merits, as a film, are irrelevant. In short, he was far from a good man.
This film opens with two fatherly lessons being taught to a young Chris Kyle: 1 How to kill a deer. Now if this was satire, it would have been brilliant. I am a big of Clint Eastwood and appreciate most of his work as a director, I am aware of his right-wing views and as I sat down in the theatre I was expecting a very patriotic story on the war in the Middle East. And American soldiers are sent to fight for a lie with unexamined motives surrounding religion and patriotism. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq.
