Is this a simple USA propaganda? Not exactly i think...

Rating: 5/10 (8 February 2015)

First let me make my political view clear.I am leftist and I believe USA is an imperialist power and Hollywood is a tool to shape public opinion in the country (and outside). Second, I appreciate Eastwood's talent as an actor and a director. Third, I know Eastwood is a right wing conservative.But although we have completely opposite views I recognize that he is not the typical simple minded conservative.
So reading the plot and the reviews and having my political point view I watched this movie with an opinion already shaped. At first thought I could easily say this is another USA propaganda film with good heroic American soldiers and uncivilized Muslims. But is it?
The film is a good film and as in all good films everyone sees what he wants to see. So a simple minded American citizen who doesn't understand that American soldiers are sent to kill people not to protect their country but to pursue the interests of USA bourgeoisie will watch a film about a typical American hero.
And what a leftist will watch you ll ask. Well what I saw was a killer destroyed by his killings. I saw that killing even for a high purpose (as he thinks) is not something without a cost. It destroys the soul. And if it destroys the soul of an individual imagine what happens to the soul of the community or the country (USA in this case) that gives misery to the people of this world.
