A movie in which everyone can emotionally relate to

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2015)

A lot of times, a well-edited trailer with a bit of cliffhanger at the end entices you to watch the movie out of curiosity and often get the wool pulled over your eyes. Gladly, it has been a while since I have encountered a powerful war film that is based on a true story about the most lethal sniper who had over 160 kills under his belt in the Iraq War.
The title really lives up to the hype and breaks down the cliché of standard war movies that are known to be showy and frantic as there are valuable perspectives and immense emotions you are able to embrace, sympathize, and get the most out of this film. Although, it does not deliberately cover the true color of the deceased sniper, Chris Kyle as well as the relentless and aggressive sides of American soldiers against innocent citizens, I believe the director's focus is on America's point of view, especially the context of military family.
Despite "American Sniper" not being impartial, this is a type of movie in which everyone from various countries with different cultural backgrounds can witness disparities in poverty, lifestyle, and humanity. If you are a peacenik, you will discover the necessities of war. If you are the member of military, you ought to experience the intensity and agony of your brethren whose devotion and patriotism are realistically depicted. And for a family member of the military, the priority conflicts between your family and the country will move you because it is a well-directed, well-staged, and well-acted film.
