American Sniper

It is impossible to tell this man’s story properly, and this movie proves that. Ignoring critically controversial moments from his life in order to only show him as a hero seems quite disingenuous. Also, lazy filmmaking from Eastwood (see “prop baby”). Feels like a lie.

From a movie standpoint, this is a fantastic one. However, I have mixed feelings. This movie glorifies someone who undoubtedly saved many people, but this was at the expense of going into a country that we shouldn’t have been in in the first place. I strongly (look at comments)

In many ways, "American Sniper" is new territory for Clint Eastwood while still retaining his signature hallmark of grit and heart.

What the fuck is that ending omg

5/10 I hate to rate this so poorly because it was a good movie, but something just didn’t sit right with me about the portrayal/treatment of the common people in Iraq. It slightly overshadowed the story for me.

Like Highly
