I agree that it wasn't really a good movie but I don't understand when people say it's an America propaganda film? It just seemed the same as other below average war movies. What made it like that for you? I didn't see any specific messages to romanticize what we're doing overseas.

Let me tell you something that might be a bit dangerous. I was trained by Simo Hayha. I was schooled in long range shooting. I was given the title of master shooter. They take a movie “American Sniper.” They have a 6-foot-1-inch little guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. I don’t care. He had never done any sniping. He doesn’t speak like a sniper. He has never held a sniper rifle. They make him the American Sniper. We got 450,000 phone calls [laughs] from everybody in the special operations community saying, “That role was perfect for you. How did that happen?” Most of the people I know didn’t like the film and didn’t go see it. It’s just a classic example of Hollywood and the politics.

Yeh. Seems like A Clockwork Orange where everyone said "it promotes violence!" but it didn't. The main character promoted it, but the film itself didn't. And that's a very important distinction which I think people forget to make when reviewing American Sniper. Chris Kyle is patriotic sure, but the film isn't.

Like what?

The scenes of him getting teary eyed at the images of terrorist attacks on the news. It was Just the way the main character was portrayed. He was the perfect patriotic American soldier who loved his wife but was more concerned about serving his country. He seemed very 1 dimensional. It reminded me of Nations Pride from the Inglourious Basterds movie.

I also want to make it clear that that is not the reason I did not enjoy it. I didnt enjoy it because it was boring. A movie about snipers should at least be suspenseful. The Hurt Locker is an example of a GOOD war movie set in the Iraq War.

That's because he made a bunch of shit up.

The most sugarcoated way of describing the adrenaline junkie MC in the Hurt Locker
