The American Sniper

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2020)

In the film American Sniper the main summary is about Chris Kyle a sniper for the Navy seals. Chris Kyle is played in the movie by Bradley Cooper. Bradley Cooper is very well known Actor and plays the role very well. As we get to know some of the back story of the film, Chris Kyle was one of the most deadliest snipers to live. 255 kills but only 160 confirmed. In the beginning of the film Chris is a bronc rider in his mid 20's. He is unsatisfied with what he's doing with his life. Then throughout the movie it shows us how Chris becomes the man he is and was until his death in 2013.
Overall the film is a great way to learn how pressure with PTSD affects many people after and during a war. Chris fought a battle with PTSD when being home from fighting. Many military men have this when they come home. Some can change this but others can't. There are multiple movies based off the war in Iraq, but this one was focused on one main character unlike Zero Dark Thirty and 13 Hours. Both of those films have multiple characters that they tend to focus in on. One thing I saw that was interesting is that Chris was all about going out into a battle unlike other men. Serving his country meant a lot to him and you realize that during the film. Clint Eastwood is known for making great films, going back to old westerns and newer military movies. Clint Eastwood is the perfect director for this film and the film was created in California, along the Malibu shores. Clint made multiple scenes in this film feel special to the actor playing the role of Chris by having the actor feel the same way that Chris felt when it truly happened.
A main scene that I found to be very important and breathtaking is when Chris makes a remarkable sniper shot. Another scene from the film makes you feel the tension between the main character Chris and a little boy. The film makes good transitions from Iraq to back home. Chris's Wife deals with a lot of stress taking care of their 2 kids and the film shows that very well by making us feel what she is feeling. Chris's wife is played by Sienna Miller and her name in the film is Taya. Sienna Miller has been in more than 28 films and American Sniper is her well known film.
Overall, this is a film I recommend especially if you like military movies. Battles in Iraq are very important because we still have troops over there to this day. Clint Eastwood makes great films, this was one of my favorites. Being though this film was based off a true story it makes it come to life even more and makes you feel the way the characters felt in the film.
