However, when he finally returns home, he finds that he cannot leave the war behind. American Sniper the book was a incredible read of action and heartbreak. and it told so much that no movie could contain it. When I saw American Sniper the movie. The basic parts of the book are in intact. Hollywood but intact. Although it glosses over Kyle's early years and it misses the point as Kyle's upbringing was not anything like that. nor was his rodeo career. Kyle had made his mind up long before any terror attacks to join the military. Kle had been badly hurt in a rodeo where a horse fell on him breaking his wrist badly which required pins. at first the navy passed on him because of this injury. but Kyle kept at it and got into the Navy S.E.A.Ls the elite and best of the best. Kyle's book goes into more in depth detail of his training then the movie does and it goes a long way to explain his actions. And his beliefs. It also explains a lot better about why he did what he did. But again since this is a movie it only has a limited time to tell the story. And it does with heart breaking accuracy. There is a lot of action and a lot of pain. As we see Chris Kyle progress from young Navy S.E.A.L to a husband and then a war vet.The movie's best parts are when he comes home between deployments and we see the toll the war is taking on him. Kyle is pushed back into the normal world where nothing seems the same anymore and the only thing keeping him sane is his family. the heart break comes at the very end when we find out about Chris Kyle's sad tragic end. My favorite part comes where we Chris at a garage after his last deployment in which he and his team rescue some marines after a intense battle and Chris meets a marine he saved. Chris is in a garage with his son getting his car fixed. The sweet bit was the interaction between Cooper and the boy playing his son that was realistic but the icing on the cake was when he meets a man he saved and his reaction to the man as he tells the boy your dad is a hero thank you for lending him to us . That part choked me up quite a bit because I am a father. and I know how hard it was for Kyle to go to war with a small family. The battle with PSTD is simply the most authentic I have ever seen and you realize just how much the war changed him. And as he realizes it. And struggles to come back to be Chris Kyle the man and the husband and father. was this a perfect movie no far from it. but it was maybe the best war movie I have seen in a long long time. I did enjoy the film on a purely "for entertainment only" level. Some of the gun fights and action sequences felt just like you are playing the game Call of Duty or Battlefield. 6.5/10 However, as many other have said before me, this film is totally inaccurate in its portrayal of America's role in the war.<br/><br/>It fails to address the fact that America invaded Iraq for no reason other than to acquire resources.....Consequently many hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were either severely injured or fatally wounded in what many now recognise as an unlawful invasion of another country.<br/><br/>The danger is that those who are not familiar with the facts of this war may watch this (in the future) and be lead to a very inaccurate and biased view of what truly happened.<br/><br/>It is for this reason that I have no choice but to give this a 1/10. Just as “The Hurt Locker” found revelatory depths in Jeremy Renner, so American Sniper hinges on Cooper’s restrained yet deeply expressive lead performance, allowing many of the drama’s unspoken implications to be read plainly in the actor’s increasingly war-ravaged face. Texan sharpshooter Chris Kyle (<a href="/name/nm0177896/">Bradley Cooper</a>), looking to serve his country in the war against terrorism, becomes a Navy SEAL sniper. Serving four tours of duty in Iraq, Kyle saves countless lives on the battlefield, becoming a legend among his comrades. However, readjusting to civilian life between and after his tours takes its toll on his wife Taya (<a href="/name/nm1092227/">Sienna Miller</a>) and an even higher toll on Kyle himself. Loosely based on American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History (2012) by U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle along with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice, Kyle's memoir was adapted for the movie by American screenwriter Jason Hall. Kyle is credited with 255 kills, 160 of them officially confirmed by the Pentagon. He admits himself he was lucky to pass his sniper course and graduated in the middle of his class. He puts his success partly down to just luck, insurgents seemed to just walk into his proximity. However, he also deliberately put himself in the midst of the fiercest action, joining the US Marines in house-to-house fighting when sniper targets were unavailable. He also served four tours in Iraq which was a much longer period in combat than many other famous snipers. The mark (callus) suggests that he has been resting for long periods on his elbows, as though he had been using a sniper rifle, making Kyle suspect he is an insurgent. There are two sets of controversies surrounding Kyle. One is related to comments which he made which some have interpreted as bigoted and offensive, such as describing all Iraqi insurgents as "savages" and describing how he "loved" killing them, his only regret about his time in Iraq was that he couldn't kill more. He also voiced contempt about wider Iraqi society for each faction vying for supremacy rather than sharing power and working together. A persistent rumour was that Kyle went down to New Orleans with a fellow SEAL during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, set up on the roof of the Superdome and killed a couple dozen looters. However, this story stemmed from a conversation Kyle had with fellow SEAL Brandon Webb about rumours of other snipers doing so, Kyle made no claim to do so himself. Kyle also claimed that once, while stopped at a gas station, a pair of men tried to carjack him. When he reached into the car, ostensibly to give them his keys, he claims to have actually grabbed a pistol and shot the two men dead. He claimed that when the police arrived he had a contact at the Department of Defense order them to let him go free. A biographer sympathetic to Kyle scoured law enforcement agencies in the area where Kyle said this took place and could find no double shooting matching Kyle's description. In his memoir, Kyle talks about attending a SEAL event where an older, famous, ex-UDT frogman began making comments about American servicemen in Iraq which Kyle found offensive. Kyle said that he then punched the man, knocking him out. In the book, Kyle refers to the man only as "Scruff Face" but in subsequent interviews, Kyle identified "Scruff Face" as Jesse Ventura, a former pro-wreslter and Governor of Minnesota. Ventura sued Kyle for defamation and presented several witnesses who testified that the punch never happened. After Kyle's death, Ventura continued the suit against Kyle's estate, eventually winning the case. However, in 2016, federal judges overturned the verdict. It was alleged that Kyle had remarked that he wanted to kill people carrying Korans. This came from an incident where Kyle killed an armed insurgent whose wife later claimed he was only carrying his Koran. When an investigating officer put the claim to Kyle, he told him, "I don't shoot people with Korans. I'd like to but I don't", to show how stupid the allegation was. A further rumour was that Kyle had claimed he was going to donate the proceeds from his book to the families of dead SEALs but then did not. In truth, Kyle intended to but his death plunged his family into financial crisis and they nearly lost their house, only saved by the proceeds of the book and film.
