This movie was disgusting and racist. I'm really embarrassed that this film exists.ma i married a tuna posted:Similarly, the impossibly strained relationship with his wife is really well done, and Cooper is really effective in conveying a person unable to communicate. I don't agree with this. I felt like the wife was an overused movie trope and side dressing for the audience and to add pointless conflict to the story. She is just whiny and there to serve Chris Kyle. The whole thing came off as very sexist, rounding out everything disgusting you could shove into one movie. I said come in! fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Jan 20, 2015 |

ma i married a tuna posted:That's totally untrue. There's a brief window after Vietnam when movies and depiction of war was often explicitly antiwar - late 70s and early 80s, but by the mid 80s to today most war movies are in one way or another pro-war. Top Gun is the most pivotal movie to make that happen - for it, military equipment was made available basically for free under the agreement that the US Armed forces be depicted positively. Similar deals remain very common in big-budget war movies. Top Gun wasn't a war movie though, so it doesn't count. It was a gay romance/drama film because of the volleyball beach sequence, and soundtrack.

Lonos Oboe posted:I heard that Spielberg was originally attached to direct and wanted to include a LOT more about the enemy sniper. Imagine a movie that showed how both of these guys inflicted horrible casualties onto their respective enemy sides, all in the name of jingoism, 'honour', religion and 'protecting' their family. It could have been great to show that these guys were two sides of the same coin. Their training, home life and inevitable showdown of 2 men who probably shared a similar philosophy. Dang man, thats a movie I wanna see. I imagine this is the reason why Spielberg walked away, was because the studio working on American Sniper didn't want that. Spielberg is too liberal to make a film about Iraq. Americans are not ready yet to take a truly critical look at that conflict.

Arkane posted:Seems like he served his time admirably, had a loving family, and was trying to help people in need. Chris Kyle openingly admits in his book that the only reason why he joined the military was to shoot Muslims, which he felt were all savages, and that he enjoyed killing people. What about that is admirable? He should never had been allowed to enlist.
