American Propaganda

Rating: 3/10 (24 April 2016)

I think the title of my review says enough, but since I have to fulfil the text quote, I'll continue.
It's all a bit racist and just....not true? And most of all, if we bother to educate ourselves we know it's all a load of propaganda. Kyle believed he was doing 'gods' work to an extent and frequently referred to his enemies and even civilians as 'savages'.
So despite the controversies surrounding the whole illegal invasion of Iraq - this film seems to be good at one thing: Rubbing it in peoples faces about how much worse things are in the country as a result.
I like Clint Eastwood, but this changed how I view him. Grand Torino was slightly different and reflected someone ignorant, but who learnt that those he fought were actually human.
Murica fan boys will love it, more informed viewers of the worlds events will sigh.
