My American Sniper thoughts.

Obviously my thoughts will be biased to some degree, but I thought it was great. I know some people may not like the way parts of the movie may have jumped or what not. But I feel the after effects of war when you are back at garrison or home is something the public should see and I thought Eastwood did a great job of showing that. You can see how easily certain noises bothered Kyle when he was back home. The scene at the tire shop was proof of this imo. I could finally see these irritations within myself since some things aggravate me today. I had trouble noticing these things when I first came back from my first and maybe my last deployment. the film did a good job of showing how the enemy can be and can adapt to our ttp's. kyle went above and beyond what he was supposed to do. Bradley cooper did an outstanding job and even put on 40 pounds of muscle for the role. God bless you Chris Kyle. Anyone noticed the ranger scroll, then airborne tab, then ranger tab on the other sniper? All in all a damn good movie

I felt the movie lacked drama and that the logistics of the moment was the only thing moving the movie forward. I don't remember but did the movie have a score? It sure could've used one.
I never felt that Chris was in any danger and he was just going through the motions of his job. And the only time the Cooper really gave the character any believable emotion and chemistry were those few seconds with his brother on the airstrip. The confusion and sympathy seemed real.
Overall I was pretty disappointed. But somehow Eastwood still made me feel like a proud American at the end with the real life footage.
