It isn't only impressive for his age, but American Sniper is an impressive film in general. Clint Eastwood proves that he can still deliver a phenomenal film even in his mid-eighties. He didn't just portray this larger than life hero, he becomes him. It also to me shows the best example of the hyper awareness that occurs and can't help bought be brought home when you have to be on guard constantly when deployed in a hot zone.I honestly went into this movie thinking there was no way Bradley Cooper could portray Chris Kyle, but was totally wrong in my assumptions. This story also shows what sacrifices spouses make in order for their men to be away fighting for their country. How important they are in our fight against those who hate freedom. What clearing door to door for insurgents is like and what snipers do for not only their units, but for our country as well. This movie just tells the story and after seeing it you feel like you know what it was like to be a Seal in Iraq. Then the other extreme is the hidden anti-war agenda that is always being pushed. It doesn't have the flashy coolness that studios tend to do when portraying our Navy Seals.It's cool to see that, but then you almost feel like what you are seeing is not real, inaccurate, just a Hollywood version of what our Seals do. It's very real, and thankfully the book wasn't ruined, like so many are, by embellishments.
You can tell this movie was based off a book by someone who actually had fought and lived this life. No fluff, no hidden agendas, it just tells the story of who this man was and how much he did for our country. I wholly recommend it.Unlike other Hollywood takes on our soldiers, and the war in Iraq, this movie just tells the story. All the film shown during the ending credits is from actual newsreels. I would also recommend staying through the credits. Multiple tours to keep "his men" safe, and to protect his country.
