American Sniper
- Thread starter BillyL
- Start date
I read Kyle's books. This is the first movie I would actually be motivated to go a theater to see in many years.

I thought the book was really good. Kyle tells of his experiences all the way from being a rodeo performer through BUDS (the SEAL boot camp on steroids) and through his deployments. Very interesting stuff. I agree with you though that the movie looks like it will really ramp up the intensity of his experiences and feelings. Really looking forward to it.
listened to bradley cooper on howard stern last week...he talked about having to transform his body, mind, and dialect to kyle...he didn't want to half-ass it, or embarrass the seals, so he went all out.
there's a real good story about spielberg wanting to direct before eastwood even got involved...it almost didn't get done at all.

How tragic for the dude to end up dying like he did, trying to help a vet with ptsd. (Thats not a spoiler)

I saw american sniper yesterday.It is a great movie,worth seeing!I have worked with many vets,several snipers,some with ptsd.Some are unable to find fulfillment in civilian life,but find a strange addiction to the excitement of combat and to their brothers.This is very real and so is the movie.It will stir All of your emotions!
I read on another O/T board that the unusual had happened. . the audience remained in their seats until all the credits had been viewed, and that there was total silence as they filed out of the theater . .
Starts out a little slow, with a touch of hollywood to it, but, there are some reality war scenes depicted within some of this story. The scenes of the funeral procession are somber . .
Wifey and I put off until tomorrow to see this film . . we're forecasted for a rainy day Sunday.

Not sure about that Billy but appreciate the kind words. I'll admit I'm a sucker for movies that make me realize how much we owe the guys (and girls) that risk their lives protecting us, i.e., Saving Private Ryan, Taking Chance, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Lone Survivor, etc. I think this movie is in that category.
Have you at least upgraded to Blu-ray? Now is the time to upgrade to a 4k tv too !Originally posted by mikeirbyusa:
I'm cheap! When is the DVD coming out?
Michael moore didnt like it. He called the main character and others like him (snipers) a coward.
Then seth rogen tweeted it was comparable to the nazi propaganda film in inglorious basterds

Dude, this movie came out three years ago. You're just now getting around to seeing it?
Wait, it's already out? I must have missed it.
