Everytime a terrorist got blown away by Chris Kyle, the audience would erupt in applause.
I've seldom anything like this in a movie house.
Anyone else disturbed by this liberal narrative, that it is racist to go see American Sniper instead of Selma? Or by liberal loudmouths such as Michael Moore saying snipers are cowards, but that he wasn’t saying that in regard to this movie??
Look for it to get a few Oscars.
I must see this movie.
And here will come Jesse Ventura in some sort of suit ....
If you missed this please head over to right scoop and give it a spin - priceless!
I have never seen a movie review like this. I and the wife will be going see it as quickly as we can get tickets.
Since this is Texas, it may take a while.
I am thrilled to see an American soldier looked up to by youngsters as a hero. He was all of that.
I saw it yesterday in a half filled theater.....at noon on a Monday. It was gripping and told a wonderful story of American patriots. Very rough language but well worth the effort to see it.
Do I smell a zeitgeist? I too thought it was culturally significant. I went this past Saturday at a 4:00 showing. It’s just as you read in some of the reports. Nobody said anything or displayed any outward emotion from start to finish and out the theater door. Not like that loud crowd mumble you hear in a packed theater when the credits hit the screen at the end. And my theater was packed. only 5 empty seats as reported by the manager after I asked.
The mood I felt afterwards was angry with little hope offered with profound sadness.. A sentiment I felt I may have picked up in the silent crowd milling towards the door.
The movie works on so many levels of thinnking But mainly I would like to point out:
Kyle represents America. The evil Muslims represent the well ... evil Muslims. We know what we have to do, and we can do it with a clear conscience. They are evil. We are not. We will fight this evil forever. Too bad for most the wages are any combination of loss of limbs, darkened souls, abandonment and outcast from society, and your life.
We can do this. We can be as brutal as they are, but with a clear conscious.
I for one would be interested to see the audience broken down by demographics—more specifically, how many older (Xer/Boomer) viewers, and how many in the heartland as opposed to the coasts. I suspect there is a lesson Hollywood doesn’t want to learn, that there is a massive audience who would go to the movies regularly, if there were movies such as this one that regularly represented their values, meaning American values.
Leftists such as Michael Moore will rage on, and professors will judge the movie without seeing it
Because they know its powerful and totally wrecks their hate America agendas for a while...God forbid that the message of American Sniper be broadly embraced! Same thing happened prior to and during the run of the Passion.
They know they are exposed as wrinkled mishaped cretins in the face of these mighty truths.
‘Finally, the movie gives America something it’s lacked since the start of the war...’
What really went on, all that the MSM consciously decided to withhold b/c it didn’t fit the liberal narrative.
Isn’t that rather islamophobic?
Looking forward to seeing the movie.
Could this be the beginning of a reversal of the way the media and the campuses took away our victory on the ground in Viet Nam?
The last movie I went to at a theater was Eastwood’s “Trouble with the Curve”
