Now here's the thing. Due to really the people that supported it and glorified the film's real life protagonist I felt rather inclined to rate this film 1 out of 10 stars and call it a day but this regional entertainment retailer always has this great sell on DVDs and I got this movie for a dollar so I set my politics aside to honestly watch this film. One thing that always catches my eyes in a Clint Eastwood directed film is it's boring monotone lighting which is kinda present in American Sniper accept for the few (and there are few) scenes of the American sniper being the American Sniper. I appreciated the honesty of this films politics but I found a certain Life and World Changing Cliché scene to be pretty funny. But I did not feel while watching American Sniper as I do in every recent Eastwood film (with the exception of Letters From Iwo Jima) the continued boredom until the sweet inevitable credits. But in between the realism in the film's depictions of contemporary war is the blah rhetoric of an average stereotypical jar-head either listening or speaking to Bradley Cooper who is the only reason I rate this film an 8 instead of a 7. But I liked the Punisher being read and can dig all the Texas stuff.
I am retired US Navy. I am in the large majority of sailors that did not &quot;see&quot; combat. However I did 2 Persian Gulf deployments aboard a carrier and a one year ground deployment in Kuwait.<br/><br/>This story is what it is. To hyper politicize it is very disgusting in my humble opinion.<br/><br/>Those on the left are generating all kinds of hate towards Chris Kyle calling this story propaganda. Some of the far left are parroting hearsay about how Kyle was &quot;redneck&quot;, racist, went on killing sprees, described the enemy as savages, and took out Hurricane Katrina Victims. The left constantly cries out that President Obama got Osama Bin Laden. Obama and Biden routinely remind us of that. The ironic thing is that the Navy SEALs were the ones who killed him.<br/><br/>Those on the right are pretty much in lockstep with the book and this movie. Talk radio constantly reveres the Chris Kyle story. Fox News constantly has Taya Kyle on the air and constantly airs Chris Kyle interviews prior to his death 2 years ago.<br/><br/>I&#39;m here to take a neutral and apolitical stance. War is hell. Did we &quot;need&quot; to go into Iraq? There is no correct answer to that question. We did it, Chris Kyle believed in our mission, followed lawful orders, defeated the enemy with his sniper rifle, excelled at it, and saved American lives. He made the hard but correct choice to return to his family at the expense of his stellar Navy career.<br/><br/>I personally believe that this kind of story does need to be told and do need to be based on actual events. However, I have very mixed feelings about the actual Navy SEALs putting themselves in a &quot;glamorous&quot; and public eye so soon after their service with books and movies. I do think it is possible that some of it is ego, some of it is hyper political, some of it is for personal or financial gain.<br/><br/>I think that the active duty SEALs still out there carrying out missions unbeknownst to us do so with the thought of completing the mission by destroying the enemy with the utmost precision and intensity, return home with all their shipmates, hug their wives and kids, then turn around and do it all over again. These guys do not say &quot;Look at me, I&#39;m a Navy SEAL.&quot; The general public cannot nitpick the specifics of the Chris Kyle story. I as a retired sailor cannot nitpick his particular story. Only Chris Kyle and God must reconcile the events that took place.
Propulsive battle sequences in which sandstorms make the fog of war quite literal are the ostensible focus of American Sniper, but the real tension comes from our anticipation of how they'll affect the life this sharpshooter is reluctant to return to until he feels he's done everything he possibly can.
Texan sharpshooter Chris Kyle (<a href="/name/nm0177896/">Bradley Cooper</a>), looking to serve his country in the war against terrorism, becomes a Navy SEAL sniper. Serving four tours of duty in Iraq, Kyle saves countless lives on the battlefield, becoming a legend among his comrades. However, readjusting to civilian life between and after his tours takes its toll on his wife Taya (<a href="/name/nm1092227/">Sienna Miller</a>) and an even higher toll on Kyle himself. Loosely based on American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History (2012) by U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle along with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice, Kyle&#39;s memoir was adapted for the movie by American screenwriter Jason Hall. Kyle is credited with 255 kills, 160 of them officially confirmed by the Pentagon. He admits himself he was lucky to pass his sniper course and graduated in the middle of his class. He puts his success partly down to just luck, insurgents seemed to just walk into his proximity. However, he also deliberately put himself in the midst of the fiercest action, joining the US Marines in house-to-house fighting when sniper targets were unavailable. He also served four tours in Iraq which was a much longer period in combat than many other famous snipers. The mark (callus) suggests that he has been resting for long periods on his elbows, as though he had been using a sniper rifle, making Kyle suspect he is an insurgent. There are two sets of controversies surrounding Kyle. One is related to comments which he made which some have interpreted as bigoted and offensive, such as describing all Iraqi insurgents as &quot;savages&quot; and describing how he &quot;loved&quot; killing them, his only regret about his time in Iraq was that he couldn&#39;t kill more. He also voiced contempt about wider Iraqi society for each faction vying for supremacy rather than sharing power and working together. A persistent rumour was that Kyle went down to New Orleans with a fellow SEAL during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, set up on the roof of the Superdome and killed a couple dozen looters. However, this story stemmed from a conversation Kyle had with fellow SEAL Brandon Webb about rumours of other snipers doing so, Kyle made no claim to do so himself. Kyle also claimed that once, while stopped at a gas station, a pair of men tried to carjack him. When he reached into the car, ostensibly to give them his keys, he claims to have actually grabbed a pistol and shot the two men dead. He claimed that when the police arrived he had a contact at the Department of Defense order them to let him go free. A biographer sympathetic to Kyle scoured law enforcement agencies in the area where Kyle said this took place and could find no double shooting matching Kyle&#39;s description. In his memoir, Kyle talks about attending a SEAL event where an older, famous, ex-UDT frogman began making comments about American servicemen in Iraq which Kyle found offensive. Kyle said that he then punched the man, knocking him out. In the book, Kyle refers to the man only as &quot;Scruff Face&quot; but in subsequent interviews, Kyle identified &quot;Scruff Face&quot; as Jesse Ventura, a former pro-wreslter and Governor of Minnesota. Ventura sued Kyle for defamation and presented several witnesses who testified that the punch never happened. After Kyle&#39;s death, Ventura continued the suit against Kyle&#39;s estate, eventually winning the case. However, in 2016, federal judges overturned the verdict. It was alleged that Kyle had remarked that he wanted to kill people carrying Korans. This came from an incident where Kyle killed an armed insurgent whose wife later claimed he was only carrying his Koran. When an investigating officer put the claim to Kyle, he told him, &quot;I don&#39;t shoot people with Korans. I&#39;d like to but I don&#39;t&quot;, to show how stupid the allegation was. A further rumour was that Kyle had claimed he was going to donate the proceeds from his book to the families of dead SEALs but then did not. In truth, Kyle intended to but his death plunged his family into financial crisis and they nearly lost their house, only saved by the proceeds of the book and film.
