I've been following some threads on a photography site, and just in the past few days people there have managed to form opinions about the film (despite their vows to never ever go see it). They now see it as a massive propaganda piece, designed by a radical extremist right-wing senile director with the aim of convincing people that the evil Iraq war really wasn't the biggest series of war crimes in the history of the planet.
Yep. I’m a regular reader of Cinematography magazine online and there’s not been a single peep about the movie. They did choose to profile Unbroken, probably because of Roger Deakins’ long and distinguished career, but the silence is curious. Another popular site, filmmakerIQ.com usually does stories on big box office movies in current release but they don’t have anything about American Sniper either. Maybe they’ll jump on the bandwagon by summer.
