About American Sniper:
Academy Award® winning filmmaker Clint Eastwood (Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima) returns to the wartime genre with AMERICAN SNIPER, starring Oscar® nominee Bradley Cooper (American Hustle) as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. But there was much more to this true American hero than his skill with a rifle. U.S. Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname "Legend." However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, becoming emblematic of the SEAL creed to "leave no man behind."

Seeing this in theaters with my dad is one of my core memories i hold with him. He passed away 4 years ago from fentanyl but before he got into the drugs he was a completely normal hard working single father, guy would give you the shirt off his back and literally go out of his way to help you if you needed helping. Pretty sure we went to the dollar store to get a bunch of snacks and snuck it all in to watch the movie ahaha Because my dad was a CAF Jet engine mechanic he loved anything related to the military so it was just destined for me to love it aswell. I think the first war movie we saw in theaters was 2012’s act of valor and the last one was 2016’s Hacksaw ridge.

I always wanted to be in special force services...however life took me in different path.

Its one of my fav movie of all time...everything was perfect...❤

Maybe if you also search and watch the physiological damaged they end up with and maybe the no benefits they get once they are veterans. You won’t feel you lose that much.

[@Jake0358]

this movie is one of my favorite Hollywood movies. Unlike other warfare movies, this movie focused on the humane side of a soldier. That's the point that makes this movie special and different from other movies. I read Chris Kyle's autobiography. His story was scary and heartwarming and sad at the same time. Both movie and the book are amazing. If you haven't read Chris Kyle's autobiography, you should start reading it. it will touch your heart and make you cry.

[@adammonzyk]

Navy seals are soldiers because they deploy to land. Regular enlisted navy soldiers are sailors. Some navy personnel are pilots. It all depends on the job. Not all of them are "sailors".

[@sammyfabelman]

This was originally a Steven Spielberg project. Eastwood's film avoids criticizing the Iraq invasion, which is very one-sided and based on lies. This is the difference between Spielberg and Eastwood.

[@highvoltagemedia7150]

Spielberg was very much in favor of the invasion of Iraq and tends to not criticize the US publicly. So I doubt he would have done that if he had directed this.

[@KevinWood44]

Too bad the TRUE story of Chris Kyle is VASTLY different. (If you are curious about the truth search it here on YT. Recently fellow SEALs and special operators have disclosed the truth about Chris' actions in war and some ummm "domestic" problems he had with his wife. Lets just say "hero" may not be the word you choose to describe Chris after hearing the truth. regardless, Clint is the man and made a great movie And if you want also want to ruin Lone Survivor for yourself, research the real story of what Marcus Luttrell REALLY did during Operation Red Wings. This one hurt, bc I LOVED that movie. But the TRUTH is more important than Hollywood, especially when more than 20 US soldiers died.

[@menachem2521]

You'll never know what really happened. People always like detracting other people's stories. 🤷‍♂️

[@KevinWood44]

@@menachem2521 Really? are you aware of how many solders who were in country with Chris Kyle and have 1st hand stories about Task Unit Bruiser?? Just because YOU were not there does not mean other people were not. So YES people DO know what happened!!! YOU may not be interested in learning the truth (bc you thought the movie was cool, or something) but PLENTY of people are trying to make the truth come to light. It is very hard when the US Navy is protecting the truth from coming out and even worse GLORIFYING it so the SEALs look like a superheros and get more tax payer money. Time to wake up

[@KevinWood44]

@@menachem2521 Oops my reply said something negative about the US Navy so it got deleted. SHOCKING Let me instead say "OF COURSE the Navy ALWAYS tells the truth and they would NEVER EVER embellish a story just to get massive public and congressional approval to receive basically unlimited tax payer money to find their programs" (which they have at DEVGRU, literally unlimited) People all also unaware that a certain 3 letter agency works hand in hand with Hollywood to push certain narratives bc they know Americans believe everything they see on TV/movies.

[@digital2701361]

It was the marines that had to go out and get the corpses of the innocent people that Kyle shot. Marines have stated that many of his victims were just normal people. Kyle and his task force bruiser team mates caused a lot of problems for the marines.

[@Teleman01]

It was a great movie. But it could've been done better. I was kind of surprised at some of the things that were done that with the money of Hollywood, it didn't need to happen. If I were Clint Eastwood I would've took money out of my bank account to get this film done 100%. Still a great story.
