American Sniper

[Sawin]

I wish someone would refer to me as a killing machine with a heart of gold.

Marine, you're a straight up killing machine. But that's not all you are... you're a good man with a heart of gold. God bless you and God bless the United States of America!

I thought American Sniper was much more interesting, entertaining, and fulfilling than Lone Survivor. It may be that I liked the LS book more than the LS movie, and I have not yet read AS, just watched the movie.

In a world where fantasy is often more exciting than reality, Clint did about a good a job as you can with this biography.

I will definitely be reading the book. I hope Chris lives up to be as good a man in the book as he was in the movie. I am in awe of his many sacrifices and concept of duty and patriotism.

My wife and I dug the scene where Chris' wife listens in (helplessly and confused) on a firefight. While on the phone from Afghanistan, my wife has heard a car bomb go off, small arms fire, and what sounded like heavy machine gun fire (it was a helicopter hovering overhead). She really freaked out when she heard the helo, thinking I was under fire. I was glad I was there to explain it all. I was actually a little annoyed that the movie did not take the time to show Chris calling the wife back to say he was ok. My only other problem with the movie was when he was playing with that six shooter at the end of the movie...pointing it at his wife. It seemed out of character to treat a gun that carelessly.

Yeah, I was kind of at a loss for that little scene. The pointing it at her just didn't seem right. The only thing I could think of is they were trying to show that he was unarmed at the range that day because he laid the revolver up on that ledge in the wall as he left. I too was thinking maybe that was the kid's cap gun but it seemed to function too realistically for that.

From the length of the post, I'm guessing if I read it, I won't need to go see the movie......

Good idea. It went spoiler about 1/2 way. By then it was too late. NOT to mention part of it was quoted in another reply. I was given a heads up by mods because someone was pissed over something i said in the Breaking Bad discussion, without including a Spoiler Alert. . That tv show ALREADY off the air.

I recall that, apparently there is a "statute of limitations" on movies and television shows that I wasn't aware of. I guess we are supposed to of watched every movie and television show after a certain time frame.

^^ yeah I had no idea what was going on with that scene? At first I thought maybe it was his sons toy gun or something....
