"American Sniper" review (SPOILER ALERT)

PS: Just today a new complaint arose from the lefties that Clint Eastwood used a baby doll instead of a real baby in one scene. According to one of Eastwood's crew, they had two real babies for the part. One got sick, the other was a no-show. Typical Eastwood (the director): nothing stands in the way of the schedule. He is notorious for preparation, but rigid when it comes to the shooting schedule and he reportedly said "Get the plastic kid" or words to that effect. It's occasionally a weakness, but generally his reputation for preparation for shots is unmatched and more often than not, a strength.

Oh, and PPS: The 2:10 showing in Dayton South was in the largest theater, perhaps 200 people of the 300 seats. When the show was finished, there wasn't a sound. People quietly, almost respectfully, stood, gathered their things, and walked out, with almost no one talking.

It is probably a good thing that he used a baby doll for the scene.

However, the lefties are incensed.

Yet, 100% of movies coming out of Hollywood these days use CGI.

Hypocrites.

..whenever the left starts acting like disturbed goats, it's worth looking into...

It is probably a good thing that he used a baby doll for the scene.

They would have found a reason to object, no matter what he did.

Making Liberal Heads Explode. ...Anti-American, Anti-Military Most Affected.

Oh, OF COURSE.

That’s a given.

HAHAHA!

You are so right about that.

I saw the movie Sunday, and concur with your review. It was a great film, and better than Lone Survivor IMHO. I'm very thankful that Clint Eastwood directed it instead of Spielberg for reasons that require no further explanation.

As for the progressive tools whining about it, the more they bring it up, the more people will want to see it, and THAT is a good thing.

Let’s see, run a million dollars over budget waiting to find new baby actors that aren’t sick or use a prop.

BFD, let the Libtards get their panties in a bunch...just shows how shallow they are and too stupid to see the big picture.

[hadaclueonce]

the real reason the progressives are so mad about the plastic kid is that no one got paid union wages hence no union dues.

Man, Talking Tina STILL freaks me out.....thanks alot.

According to American Sniper screenwriter/executive producer Jason Hall, there’s actually a good explanation as to why fake babies were used on the film. In response to journalist Mark Harris’ tweet “That plastic baby in American Sniper is going to be rationalized by Eastwood auteur cultists until the end of days,” Hall replied: “hate to ruin the fun but real baby #1 showed up with a fever. Real baby #2 was no show. (Clint voice) Gimme the doll, kid.”

The same liberals who decry Eastwood’s use of a doll instead of a live baby in the scene are the same ones who would not hesitate to kill a live baby in the womb.

Hypocrites.

[I want the USA back]

If lefties hate it it must be good. I’ll go see it.

Yeah, the story I heard was #2, that they had two babies ready to film, and one was sick and one didn’t show up.

Minor correction: If I remember correctly, “The Butcher” is the leader with the drill who kills the child hands-on, and the Iraqi sniper works for and protects The Butcher. Otherwise, spot on - good movie.

Actually, you’re right. I need to correct.
