Storyline
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. So he
joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and
the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq.
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.
American Sniper Reviews
With
great expectation on a highly Oscar-Nominated movie staring profound
actor Bradley Cooper, which turned me down so much after witnessing a
movie with empty perspective but only self-ego of American.
On
the angle of movie production, this is very old-school war movie style,
there are nothing new but tedious street gun fighting in this movie. If
you want to find exciting war movie elements, save your money and time,
just rent "Saving Private Ryan" or a much better sniper movie "Enemy At
Gate" home. The emotion part of a soldier is not touching in the movie,
people would not drown a tear with this unlikeable character.
And
the story telling is what turned me down so much. It showed the news
cut of 911, and then the army goes to Iraq instead of Afghan? What's the
sense of it? Every middle-east Muslims are terrorists? The way to
protect your home and family is by invading innocent people's home? The
aim of the sniper is revenging over the death of friends, and the goal
is execute one single sniper and then killing a bunch of armies by
direct bump into their base and returned home save and sound with some
scratch? How heroic and how vainly it is.
American invaded Iraq
twice with non-justified reason, and there are still people like Clint
Eastwood evilize middle-east country and rationalize the invasion of
Americans who tried to profit through making war? For God sake it took
such a long way to end the second ridiculous Iraq war, stop trying to
persuade people that American is always right.
Please stop
promoting movies which makes the world away from peace and wasting
people's time. It's also disgusting that Oscar giving it a ticket to
best motion picture, please don't promote the movie which tore the world
apart.
