'American Sniper' is a movie. War is a grim reality and with us still.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think 'American Sniper' is anti-war. It demonstrates the agony of the decision-making that goes on.
War is hell. Hollywood fantasizes about it and makes it look good... war sucks.
With Vietnam, the Iraq War, so many American films about war are almost always from the American point of view. You almost never have a Middle Eastern character by name with a story.
'The War' is a stunning achievement in filmmaking.
The Navy credits me with more kills as a sniper than any other American service member, past or present.
If military movies were automatically successful we'd make nothing but military movies. But seriously, patriotism is one thing that all Americans have in common.
I actually think every war movie is an antiwar movie in its own way - with the exception of some of the propaganda movies.
Any time you do a movie, there are going to be war wounds that you end up getting.
It's always been my dream to be in a war film.
Modern American war is as easy to script as a B movie.
