Review of American Sniper (2014) by Luacheia99 — 25 Jan 2015
American Sniper is a standard "meh" movie with an over hyped buzz because its director, cast and subject, as its main target audience is like "I love me a gun" and the over ego feeling of "I love me a supposedly American hero who kills them all".
"American Sniper" valorizes, guns, father teaching a son to use the gun and kill, muslim's xenophobia and arrogance not Altruism as heroism.
In a time where children are killing children in schools; in name of God terrorists are killing innocents around the world and a huge part of the humanity is being named terrorist just because its religion and the religious xenophobia around the world is gaining more space in society and it is so wrong.. This movie timing is awful.
Art for the masses has not to be historically accurate but "American Sniper" is so lame & socially irresponsible, domestically & worldwide for all reasons above.
Sorry.... But in my POV. You can't say that the art from a genius filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, who did institutional movies for the German nazista govern, was historical wrong and the meh movie from Clint Eastwood is not. Guarded the proportion, it is the same...
Art is art, but the industry has to have the responsibility of the time that a piece of art is out there. World is in the middle of a social mess (the last months and weeks have dozens of examples) and this movie just brings a bad image for Americans around the world. The American people doesn't deserves it. They are suffering with it.
