Hot garbage glorifying a liar.

I don't know why both libs and conservatives think it's a pro-war movie, it did a really good job of showing how fucking horrible it is and how it fucks peoples heads up, bravo eastwood
>>
In the end it is a failure because the guy was a liar and a fraud.

The parts where she is literally calling his cell phone while he is sniping niggas is undoubtedly the worst parts of the movie.

Fuck off, yuroshit. There's literally nothing wrong with patriotism.

I wonder how much of that comes from how cynical modern American military operations tend to be as opposed to say... WW2 where the "good vs evil", "making the world safe for democracy" rhetoric is easy to swallow. The cause was near and dear to the hearts of most of the combatants. The goal was clear & in sight.

As opposed to say... Iraq & Afghanistan which was always just a clusterfuck with no end in sight and the reasons that it was sold to us for seem thin & unsatisfying.

It isn't a pro-war movie. That's the problem people have with it. The real Chris Kyle was a cunt who enjoyed his time served on a nearly psychopathic level, yet in this film he was portrayed as a troubled war hero doing whatever it took to fight for his country.

That's just the criticism though. I didn't read his autobiography so I don't know if he was really a good person or not, but that's just what they say. I think removed from reality or viewed as fiction this was a great movie and Cooper did an excellent job. Its just that it conflicts politically with the truth that people have an issue with

The moment in the end when the sniper (whatever his name is I'm not american) is holding a gun against her wife just for laughs is one of the tensest moments I've seen in film, Eastwood really knows his shit.

Overall, I feel that structuring this film in a set of rounds against a "honorable rival" contradicts the purposes of the film, but it's overall interesting and a good take on the inevitable pointlessness of war.

He looks like Ricky from TPB in that poster.

Probably Clint's weakest film.

Redneck pandering. Chris Kyle was a shithead and a liar who capitalized on weak country bumpkins who need to believe in the army cause they'll never get into college.

then he made fun of a psycho he was tasked with babysitting at a gun range and the guy shot him in the fucking back.
>>
>>70852486
yep nothing wrong. But this movie is sucks and chris too
>>
It was pretty shit. 16 year old cod players love it though

I think it misled americans into thinking Chris Kyle was the best sniper in HISTORY and not just US history.

Longest ever kill shot belongs to British soldier in Afghanistan.

>Hitler said the same thing
Hitler was a half-Semitic,sterile,unsuccessful painter of a megalomaniac who was also shit at listening to his generals and being historically literate,different case.And there is nothing wrong with patriotism(this comes from a fellow European).

>>70852486
To be fair, its illegal to be patriotic in most European countries.
