America to America

Rating: 7/10 (2 February 2015)

Some believe, or at least write, that this is propaganda, I do not agree entirely. I believe this is glorification, or a celebration of what was a troubled American war veteran, those stories are needed, especially if you see it in the light of Client Eastwood. I think he has made a very well crafted movie (so what you can see a baby doll), this is really a good story, well acted by all involved, very indulging and exciting for the viewer.
Maybe it is mostly by America to Americans, it is a very patriotic movie, but also a proud movie about fighting for your country, not giving up on each other, believing and hoping for the best, overcoming fears and having seen and experienced terrible things you can't even begin to imagine or express.
Bradley Cooper does a fantastic job in the role of Chris Kyle, he makes it all seem very real, his tours to war and all the things he has to do there, all the things that he experience and just can't leave behind, the things that troubles him and those he keeps bottled up or can't shake and explain. I really felt his dedication to helping others, not leaving anybody behind and being there for your mates and country, and you can really feel how it starts to crumble and become too much, the frustration and the feelings and anger his body can't handle.
A though movie, but more in a psychologically sense then in watching what is actually being shown, it is not very bloody, there is a war, but most of the struggles are in his and your mind.
