A amazing film, but untruthful

Rating: 3/10 (30 January 2015)

There cannot be any doubt about the kind of filmmaking master Eastwood is. In the sense of narrative American Sniper achieves perfection. Is both subtle and fierce and as usual with the work of great authors, you don't know exactly what to make of it. I saw a lot of controversy about the political stand of the film and I went to the theater with that in mind. After some time I concluded that the film's deficit is not the figure of Chris kyle, the way he is portrait or even the way the movie doesn't deal with any implications of the invasion to Iraq apart than those in the mind of this particular soldier (which are non existent).
But falls far from the truth of the war in Iraq, the behavior of American troops, the ordeal Iraqis live everyday and the crimes committed by both Iraqi and American troops. Anyone with a bit of curiosity can easily find out how wars are like and how elite troops behave anywhere in the world. In particular Saudi and Nato troops.
In this film I couldn't see not one innocent victim of the war wounded by American troops. Not even by mistake. Not one. Even more, almost all Iraqis were ready to hurt American soldiers. Women, children and men. The quality of the film suffers from it. Because this is a lie.
