Hippies are gonna hate it...just like every other war movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2015)

Okay, before I even review the movie, I'd like to say that most of the people who don't like this movie probably have no idea what war is like. War is when you are sent to protect your country from people who would like to kill you and every other American. And for those of you who say Chris Kyle is a "monster" who ENJOYS killing?! That gives me a clue that you didn't even watch the movie, just read the Wikipedia plot summary. In the movie, every time he had to kill, it was a life threatening decision. "If I don't shoot, ten marines will die, but if I shoot, that boy will die." All the people who hate this movie are saying "He murdered over a hundred people, without looking them in the face, and that is just cowardly!" You people who think this are forgetting what might be on the other side of the choice. If Chris listened to all of the people who complain, hundreds of US soldiers would come home in a box. And saying he didn't feel anything and called them savages? Every time he shot someone part of him would die with the person. You can't go to War, Shoot people who don't know they are about to die, and come home not feeling any different. This movie didn't glorify Chris Kyle at all-it just made him what he really was. And the 'savages'? When you've killed over a hundred people, you have to find a way to stay sane. Chris' way was to realize that those 'savages' would have killed his fellow SEALs and Marines. Him calling them savages was just his way of thinking, and if you don't agree with that, you can't change it and you shouldn't try to change it.
