Eastwood is a Genius and NOT for the reasons you might think.

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2015)

Before Clint Eastwood even thought of directing this movie, he was against the war in Iraq. It is my opinion, TPTB forced Clint to direct this movie. He really didn't want to direct this movie. He was given an offer he couldn't refuse. It was impossible to turn down the offer to direct. Eastwood let us in on the secret. Knowing the lies and b.s. spread by Kyle in the media i.e. the knocking down of Ventura, the murdering of the looters in New Orleans, the killing of the two would be truck thieves. Clint gave the audience his view on the whole affair by telling us that the American Sniper story is just propaganda. Propaganda to help perpetuate war in the Middle East. How did Mr. Eastwood let the audience know the whole story is propaganda? By introducing the fake baby in the movie. The baby (the story) is fake. Brilliantly subtle and so effective.
