I'll wait for it on Netflix. Sounds like Eastwood spun in some of his own twisted politics.

All About Steve, Valentines Day, The Words, The A-Team, Hit and Run, and at least one of The Hangover movies.

I know unfair comparison, but you're right. Those were bad movies. Even still though, his character isn't what made the movie bomb.

I can't say I'm much of a fan of his work.

Limitless & Silver Lining. Both also co-starred Robert De Niro.

I like how the characters he plays are believable and act in a believable manner. Given the reviews for the current movie, I'd say he did an admirable job again.

It is one soldiers reality. A soldier that believed our country couldn't and wouldn't do what it did.

No, I haven't seen it, nor do I intend to. Read enough about it that I won't pay money to help push the bush agenda

Every soldiers reality is shaped by their own experience .

There is no one reality that fits all , not in war

I said that. I said it's not the reality of THE war, it's his reality.

I come from a family with many men, and now some women, that have fought in many wars. Heroes some and even a Bronze Star recipient. I understand each one had their own private war, even in the same war.

"great tool to promote Islamaphobia"

I agree

with these quotes. (FB) I'm getting a clearer picture of why I don't want to see it.

Instead it presents the killing as something he didn't want to do.

I wouldn't have made a Chris Kyle movie in the first place, but if one was made I'd prefer if it told the truth on Chris Kyle.

The quote about killing all males is actually referenced in the movie, the context was to kill all males in the already evacuted and restricted areas of the city. They considered all people in those no-go zones hostile as the only people that were left in there were considered insurgents. I haven't find a reliable source for the second quote, haven't found it in the book either. The article was on the guardian, it had large amounts of assumptions and bias. I wouldn't take the quote seriously. You should see the movie as it actually explains more onto this. Plus I made an account just to correct any misinformation and anything out of context in this post.

Your first quote is a blatant lie.

Have you read the autobiography? Do you have it handy? If so, please turn to the page where that quote is located and read the two sentences immediately preceding it.

Have you memorized it as well?

If one is going to post a quote from it, one should at least know the context. At a minimum, they should read the page that includes the quote.

I haven't memorized it but I have gone back and looked at the various quotes that are being published (the one chosen here is a popular one) to see what the context was.

The author definitely says some very nasty things that I do not at all agree with. But there is no need for someone to try to make it appear like he is saying even worse things that he isn't actually saying.

I thought that the movie depicted war as hell and how it ruins everyone involved, from those killed in action to the ones that return home alive but broken by the ordeal.

I don't think it was a "rah, rah" pro-war film.

It showed that our men and women make very tough choices during combat. In Kyle's case, in this movie at least, he said he was there to do a job. There wasn't any mention of him enjoying the killings.

I know that may be different from his book or his interviews post-war, but I don't believe it's in the movie version, if I remember correctly.

Mix it with war business and its easy money .
