I am going to see it tonight. Just based on most of the reviews, it's excellent as a story of the humanity of war as well as an accurate portrayal that's not always seen on the nightly news.
And Michael Moore has predictably blasted it, so it must have overwhelming redeeming qualities.
Seth Rogen has compared the movie to Nazi propaganda. Talk about an ungrateful piece of crap. People supported his crappy stoner movie when it got banned and he does this? Rogen has actually managed to make me hate a person more than Michael Moore.
You don't think he as a point? Do both glorify killing the enemy? I haven't watched it, and will probably read the book first.
I don't think the movie glorifies killing the enemy at all - in fact, much of the story involves how his work affects him, and it's not positive.
Maybe someone somewhere has brought this up, but when taken together, don't his two tweets mean that his uncle, who must have been an invader, wasn't killed by a sniper but by a brave, neighbor, non-sniper?
Yeah...not one word about that movie in his tweet, either. He was talking about "snipers" in general, not the movie.
Because that's such a common topic of discussion, just pure coincidence that American Sniper just opened...
So they make a movie about someone and I comment that that particular person portrayed in the movie was someone I didn't like, that's me saying the movie was garbage?
I have no idea how you got that from what I wrote.
I don't know the whole story of James' death, but whoever killed him did the world a favor.
Color me puzzled also. I can't see where anyone attributed saying the movie was garbage to Moore. In fact, in his partial retraction, he states he wasn't talking about Kyle. I personally think he's about half drunk every time he makes a public statement...
Jesse James was shot in the back by a member of his gang who pretended to be his friend. This guy then shot James to become famous for shooting Jesse James. Jesse James was a thief and murderer and the guy did the world a favor. The "scoundrel" comment is based on a crappy movie starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck.
