Liar? Hero? Legend

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2015)

It's a sad state of affairs when you have the story of a man like Chris Kyle come out, in the book and then on film being directed by one of the most recognizable names in Hollywood, and everyone wants to rip that story apart, with more stories. This film, for just the "film" aspect of it was good, it being of an actual man that lived and died for his country to help defend freedom, being free from people that don't have an outlook of long life but only my purpose of being here to spread fear, then killing amongst the world to what I believe is "my calling, from my god?!". My father was in the army for 6 years and was a marksman, and growing up he said it was the greatest years of his life. You can read the synopsis and get the rundown of the film, yes. Go watch it. What I take away from this film is a brave man, that was built to succeed in the military, the film shows him neglect his wife and kids by serving 4 tours, but she should have known going in, this is what he does. A military man is about structure, discipline, and never quitting. Most women would say, " oh he had a family, he should have never went to his fourth tour", then he would forever want to go back. I believe war is something that once your in, you need to see an end result to feel like you've been risking your life, for a true purpose, Chris Kyle at the end of this film fulfills his purpose. His life was taken far to early, and by a man who needed more help. So, I salute you Chris Kyle......may you rest in peace, for I am able to write this because of what you were defending.
