American sniper · 5:49am May 23rd, 2015
I just finished watching American Sniper about twenty minutes ago. And I can without a doubt that this movie was one of the best I've seen in a LONG TIME.
Bradley Cooper did an amazing job playing Chris Kyle and definitely brought his A-game playing this son of Texas. Sienna Miller did an equal fantastic job playing Tanya, with a great amount of likability and sympathy.
Clint Eastwood has always done great with the films he's directed and this one was no exception. He's already shown he can do well with war movies with letters from Iwo Jima and this just adds more icing to the cake.
Now onto the movie
Overall, It was intense and emotional and just SO GOOD!!! There were several cringe-worthy parts in it, and it was sad (the kid getting drilled by the butcher for one example) but either way, it was amazing. A really good portrayal of how PTSD affects soldiers when they're home and how a family will miss those who are away.
By the end of the film during the final scene, I finally cried; the whole movie there was scenes that caused watery eyes but that was the straw that broke the camels back. That final bit with him and his family was just... It was heartbreaking
The actual crying didn't begin till the credits aired and it showed his funeral. I was actually there when his funeral procession passed through my area on its way to Austin and the feels came back to me watching those clips they put in....
(Warning: this next bit is going to be EXTREMELY biased)
I just have one final thing to say, to all those out there who think that this movie is pro-war propaganda and Kyle.... I'm not even going to type that out.
Those motherf
king aholes try coming down to Texas and saying that crap! I'm sure they'll get more than a few friendly beatings
Us Texans are damn proud of him and his service; those damn pansies liberals who think that probibaly never even held a damn gun in their lives let alone have the cajones to go to war!
This movie does not glorify war in the slightest! It goes the path of Saving Private Ryan and Fury and just flat out shows that war fking hell. He shoots a kid for fk's sake! And another kid, maybe six years old, gets a fking power drill to the skull
If that kinda stuff is qualifies as pro-war propaganda then Full Metal Jacket is the greatest fking recruitment film of all fking time!
Okay.... Now that I got that outta my system. I think it's time to end this blog with something cute before I decide to go punch a Yankee in their goddamn liberal throat
That's pretty much the polar opposite of what I watched today, I watched Tomorrowland.
I'm no radical patriot, but I have fired guns before so I guess that makes me 'murican. Whenever people say, "I shot a gun" it makes me think they shot a gun with another gun. Anyways, we should respect all veterans. Our allies, our own soldiers, even our past enemies. (unless they actually enjoyed killing others. *cough* Waffen SS *cough*)

3098501 Yeah but that wouldn't stop him from being able to roll over even if he wasn't too physically fit, he may not be able to stand up, but rolling wouldn't require much strength at all.
