Chris Kyle the most lethal sniper in U.S. Military history.

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2015)

American Sniper the book was a incredible read of action and heartbreak. and it told so much that no movie could contain it. When I saw American Sniper the movie. The basic parts of the book are in intact. Hollywood but intact. Although it glosses over Kyle's early years and it misses the point as Kyle's upbringing was not anything like that. nor was his rodeo career. Kyle had made his mind up long before any terror attacks to join the military. Kle had been badly hurt in a rodeo where a horse fell on him breaking his wrist badly which required pins. at first the navy passed on him because of this injury. but Kyle kept at it and got into the Navy S.E.A.Ls the elite and best of the best. Kyle's book goes into more in depth detail of his training then the movie does and it goes a long way to explain his actions. And his beliefs. It also explains a lot better about why he did what he did. But again since this is a movie it only has a limited time to tell the story. And it does with heart breaking accuracy. There is a lot of action and a lot of pain. As we see Chris Kyle progress from young Navy S.E.A.L to a husband and then a war vet.The movie's best parts are when he comes home between deployments and we see the toll the war is taking on him. Kyle is pushed back into the normal world where nothing seems the same anymore and the only thing keeping him sane is his family. the heart break comes at the very end when we find out about Chris Kyle's sad tragic end. My favorite part comes where we Chris at a garage after his last deployment in which he and his team rescue some marines after a intense battle and Chris meets a marine he saved. Chris is in a garage with his son getting his car fixed. The sweet bit was the interaction between Cooper and the boy playing his son that was realistic but the icing on the cake was when he meets a man he saved and his reaction to the man as he tells the boy your dad is a hero thank you for lending him to us . That part choked me up quite a bit because I am a father. and I know how hard it was for Kyle to go to war with a small family. The battle with PSTD is simply the most authentic I have ever seen and you realize just how much the war changed him. And as he realizes it. And struggles to come back to be Chris Kyle the man and the husband and father. was this a perfect movie no far from it. but it was maybe the best war movie I have seen in a long long time.
