Just finished the movie. As a Non-American dude I cannot appreciate this movie. It basically portrays a dude who goes to a foreign land and kills the natives there as a patriotic hero. In fact America should be made to answer every one of those kills that the hero is supposed to have made.
Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) is the penultimate American soldier, a sharpshooter whose sniper found its mark 160 times at least, a warrior who is deeply convinced in the rightness of what he does and, by his own account at least, sleeps the sleep of an innocent baby. In the face of this ebullient lust for lives that are purported to threaten all he holds dear, his fragility away from the eternal fount of adrenaline that is war is all the more shocking.
American Sniper has been adapted from the autobiography of Chris Kyle, a man whose humility and self-awareness becomes apparent ....
