Propagande and the real Kyle aside

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2015)

American sniper portrays a sniper doing multiple tours in the Afghanistan war. A war movie fan as myself found this to be comparable with the classics. This was a very well made movie - good acting, heroism, fighting, love, struggle etc. I found myself to enjoy this movie quite a lot despite thinking about the moral dilemma of the war.
However after watching this film I've read some massive criticism of the movie, and I realize this movie is very problematic. I almost feel guilty from my feelings toward this movie... Had the same story taken place during Secoond World War and the real person been what he was portrayed as in the movie, I think the verdict from the masses had been quite different.
I'm going to put my vote entirely of what I thought of this as a movie. Maybee I should take side and be upset, but I'll pick another fight.
