American Sniper

[Aragorn243]

Saw this last night. I really didn't plan on going but my daughter wanted to see it so I told her I would take her. Then my wife decided she had to go. I was told by a few others that it was supposed to be pretty intense so I warned both of them.

I was shocked to go to the theater and being told that we probably wouldn't be able to sit together after standing in a line to get in. The theater sold out and they announced before the movie started that this was the first sell out since Harry Potter.

The movie was pretty intense and the theater for the most part was dead silent. At the end, one person started to clap but got no response and stopped. People filed out without talking. It was the strangest experience I've ever had I believe in a theater.

The movie is pretty powerful and pretty thought provoking. I know I didn't feel like talking after I came out.

Watching the movie, I couldn't say I really liked Kyle or disliked Kyle, agreed with him or disagreed with him, approved the reasons being there or not. His character isn't exactly likeable but he is relatable. He was the right man for the job, a job we probably don't like much but needs to be done.

Movie really made me wish the world was different and better, this presents a very realistic view of how ugly it really can be.
