An action movie about Navy Seal Chris Kyle by Clint Eastwood.
This movie left me with lots of mixed feelings. Was this movie worth nomination for 6 Oscars? I wanted to remain skeptical to the straight-through propaganda. I saw the film as just another patriotic movie, and when 9/11 hit the news, I wanted to get up and leave. It's been 14 years, and movies about it are still being made?
The lack of insight on the thoughts of Chris Kyle and every person around him was disappointing. No empathy, no morality and absolutely no ethics. But, when I started to sense that Chris had PTSD, it caught my interest. I thought "Maybe I didn't quit catch the meaning of this movie until now?" He was careless, only thinking of war, protecting his baby girl, attacking a dog (IRL he killed two people) and when he pointed a gun at his wife, I was so sure he'd shoot. Because they had to do something about the PTSD in this movie right? It was what this movie was about right? R-right? No. It was not about PTSD, and I'm bloody stupid. It's about patriotism and 'Murica and Freedom and Oil and shooting terrorists.
But all that aside, beautiful shooting, editing, locations and acting and directing.
