American Sniper
Directed by Clint Eastwood
U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle takes his sole mission—protect his comrades—to heart and becomes one of the most lethal snipers in American history. His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents. Despite grave danger and his struggle to be a good husband and father to his family back in the States, Kyle serves four tours of duty in Iraq. However, when he finally… From TMDB

60 of 167 · most liked firstI've seen some takes that are like "the right is unable to produce important cultural works" and I don't think that's really true — they have like one mega-hit movie ever decade, and these works THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST and AMERICAN SNIPER are both really important to understanding today's right
neutral · AI labelView post →More recently, AMERICAN SNIPER was nomianted for Best Picture and was a huge hit, even though it's more or less identical to the nazi propaganda movie from INGLORIOUS BASTERDS with the flags changed around
neutral · AI labelView post →My feeling about Eastwood is I like him in like exactly inverse proportion with how political his work is. AMERICAN SNIPER is maybe the worst movie he ever did bsky.app/profile/prin...
negative · AI labelView post →I'd wager the most common responses to "Name a movie about the GWOT" would be 'American Sniper', 'Lone Survivor', and 'Zero Dark Thirty'. This will not be useful to the American memory of these wars, not to plans and policy for the next low intensity conflict in which we find ourselves.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now even that caricture is foreign to the modern war hero movie. It feels downright documentarian compared to something like American Sniper. Also the fetishization of the kill has metastasized alongside this whole thing.
neutral · AI labelView post →1) the outlaw josey wales was written by a neo-confederate, fun fact. 2) if you watch the actual movie AMERICAN SNIPER and take it on its own term then you’ll find that it isn’t an exercise in jingoism
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway it’s cool that we’re just redoing the American Sniper news cycle, where they make a movie that’s a hagiography of a notorious liar and people post photos of your house if you don’t like it
neutral · AI labelView post →Let's not kid ourselves. This is going to be another thinly-veiled propaganda film like American Sniper or Zero Dark Thirty
negative · AI labelView post →Military and cop propaganda is a huge part of the US entertainment industry. I don’t think enough Americans get how horrific it seems to non-USians: the shooting/crying. Any industry that produced that monstrous film American Sniper will happily produce something that empathizes with ICE agents
neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, most good (Anti) War Movies i know are set in Vietnam. When i think of movies in the middle east, it´s US Slopaganda like Jarhead, Blackhawk Down and American Sniper
neutral · AI labelView post →I mean, we know that Sniper guy was a lying asshole who might have also been a murder andnthe movie was all about how good and noble he was and how sad the Iraq war made him so yeah, they're Bradley Cooper As American Sniper in their minds.
neutral · AI labelView post →The irony is, that infantry movie could only get made because it’s about SEALs. Hat off to the former SEALs who made it happen. We have two feature movies about SEALs in Ramadi in 2006 now, “Warfare” and “American Sniper.” “Warfare” is the anti-“American Sniper.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Clint Eastwood's AMERICAN SNIPER. Distasteful subject in whitewashing its "hero" into someone deserving of empathy. But as Oscar completist, it's on my list...being the only film in history with major nominations that I have not watched. #filmsky 📽
negative · AI labelView post →American Sniper is a shit movie. It's full of lies & half truths that tells a largely uncritical & one sided story about the Iraq war, wrapped around a pretense of honoring veterans and soaked in toxic masculinity. Which is why I skipped it 10 years ago.
negative · AI labelView post →Only one on one I’ve had in person with Biden was also when he was Vp. It was while we were both pissing and urinals that were next to each other. He was taking a bathroom break from seeing American Sniper and we walked briefly about veterans and how much he liked the “intense” movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Terrible news that we'll have to endure some American Sniper style propaganda movie about this man's escape within the next few years
neutral · AI labelView post →Man, furry Chris Kyle reminded me of how much I fucking hate American Sniper. What a stupid, vapid propaganda film. Just like “let’s celebrate this guy for killing lots of people and go out of our way to NOT talk about the war. Also, isn’t PTSD bad or whatever? Again, not talking about the war!”
negative · AI labelView post →American Sniper is a film about the joys of homeownership
neutral · AI labelView post →The only lasting impression this movie has had for me is when playing games with friends including sniper rifles, we make jokes about being CHRIS KYLE, AMERICAN SNIPER until one of us shoots the other, making it lore accurate.
neutral · AI labelView post →Man, American Sniper was wild. Like, Clint Eastwood really just unironically made that movie from the climax of Inglorious Bastards, didn’t he?
neutral · AI labelView post →American Sniper It's more than just a war movie. It does a great job showing the weight of service, the sacrifices made on & off the battlefield, and the lasting impact combat can have on a soldier and their family. One that stays with you long after the credits roll. 🇺🇸🎬 youtu.be/99k3u9ay1gs?...
positive · AI labelView post →I’m sure it says something that the only two war films are American Sniper, which was a bad movie and bullshit; and The Hurt Locker, which was a good movie, but completely unrealistic.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s Friday so time for my #LastFourWatched. Hannibal - 3 and a half stars American Sniper - 3 and a half stars Prom Dates - 3 and a half stars Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - 4 and a half stars My Letterboxd profile: boxd.it/609Jz #LetterboxdFriday #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →ever think about Chris Kyle & the huge success of 'American Sniper'(the book & the film) and just get instantly mad? cuz i do
neutral · AI labelView post →Being 19-21 was such odd years for me. There was this one Mormon guy I realllly wanted to fuck so I tried to be friends with him and we even shared an apartment. But then we watched American Sniper and that movie like broke the horny brainwashing lmaooo.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was in Iraq, spent two years there at the height of the war, and Hurt Locker may be a good movie as a film, but as an even remotely realistic portrayal of serving in Iraq, it was stupid as fucking shit. But is was only the second stupidest Iraq war movie, obviously American Sniper is # 1.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sorry @huwroscience.bsky.social it’s not American Sniper, the film that does the exact same thing but with a massive RKG-3 anti-tank grenade launcher a good foot larger than the child youtu.be/JHMYQIAlntI?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Bring back the executive producer of such hits as “The Lego Movie,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “American Sniper,” and “Wonder Woman” to save the US film industry Mr. Trump
neutral · AI labelView post →It kind of reminds me when people wouldn't shut up about American Sniper, a film so bad that I found myself doing MST3K riffs during my *first* watch-through.
negative · AI labelView post →Absolutely. What all the people freaking out about "American Sniper" missed is that it's that singular beast, a conservative anti-war movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's originally a Frankie Boyle joke in relation to the movie American Sniper I believe.
neutral · AI labelView post →laura. there are methods you can use to avoid breaking under torture. think back to the breathing technique you may remember, used in the famous movie "American Sniper"
neutral · AI labelView post →Thread about the film ‘American Sniper’
neutral · AI labelView post →(They’re also showing American Sniper on Saturday but fuck that movie)
negative · AI labelView post →Hands down as a shit film it was Independence day. Although watching American Sniper in a room full of Americans whooping and hollering every time someone got shot was the shittiest experience.
negative · AI labelView post →I know no one should take these films at face value... but a lot of people do. Like the movie American Sniper was pretty much historical fiction, but I remember conservatives taking everything in that film at face value.
neutral · AI labelView post → I did a full rewatch of this. It is as good as I remember and I am looking forward to Ingelsby’s next show “Task” that will be released on 09/07.  I will be watching Episode 8 or 9 tonight and I wish this series would never end. I am loving it.  I have a love…
neutral · AI labelView post →The complete failure of the film American Sniper to interact with Chris Kyle being a profligate liar is such a missed opportunity. That movie should have been almost Naked Lunch-esque for how unreliable the protagonist's narrative was.
negative · AI labelView post →back with another Late Eastwood review of American Sniper, a good movie with great elements held back by a narrow view of humanity
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know why we do prompts like this just to fight amongst ourselves, when you talk to non-movie people they're all "The best movie I've seen is American Sniper" or some crap
neutral · AI labelView post →Navy Seal Chris Kyle, who was the subject of the "American Sniper" movie and book, was gunned down along with a friend of his, when he thought that taking a troubled vet with severe PTSD out to the gun range for "therapy", would be a good idea
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s not always the case but like Top Gun: Maverick? Action movie 1917? War movie Dunkirk? War movie Hacksaw Ridge? War movie Mad Max: Fury Road? Action movie American Sniper? War movie
neutral · AI labelView post →And praise it, given that the “American Sniper” guy claimed to have shot 30 “looters” in New Orleans and that didn’t stop the movie or any of the other celebration of him from happening. He apparently made it up but that’s…also obviously bad… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_K...
neutral · AI labelView post →Paul Verhoeven directing American Sniper (or basically any Client Eastman directed film)
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, since 2014, Mnuchin has been the producer or executive producer of 48 films, including THE LEGO MOVIE, EDGE OF TOMORROW, ANNABELLE, AMERICAN SNIPER, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, SUICIDE SQUAD, THE INTERN, SULLY, THE ACCOUNTANT, and WONDER WOMAN.
neutral · AI labelView post →@davidjroth.bsky.social Finally, a movie more ontologically evil than American Sniper
negative · AI labelView post →Black Hawk Down, American Sniper, Lone Survivor, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, and the Postal Movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I threw on American Sniper just to see if it's as bad as I remember, and it starts off with ominous chants of Allahu Akbar. lol This movie is a real symptom of American sickness. In what world is Chris Kyle a hero?
negative · AI labelView post →Let me show you these numbers instead. They always get me hard: During Covid: - US - 3,596 deaths per million with a population size of 335 million. - Mexico - 2,605 deaths per million with a population size of 130 million. - China - 85 deaths per million with a population size of 1.42 billion, 4x times the US', which should’ve been harder to administrate or manage, but they did it efficiently anyway. Which seems more responsible there? And by A LOT. Every year, to general conflict: - US -…
neutral · AI labelView post →Imperial movie that's an American Sniper style shooting and crying flick specifically from the perspective of handlers who feel kinda bad about it
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie American Sniper was based on racist lies and propaganda. And main character Chris Kyle was a sociopathic liar.
negative · AI labelView post →To be fair Fujimoto misunderstands every western movie he talks about. American Sniper makes sense since it's rooted in 9/11 and gwot climate that he couldn't have experienced, but even if you don't know raymond chandler lebowski should be pretty self explanatory.
neutral · AI labelView post →If I recall correctly, the guy in American Sniper got depressed because he *couldnt kill enough* locals. That whole movie is one big piece of "Shit Americans Say" and I almost couldnt finish it from too intense second hand embarrassment.
negative · AI labelView post →Watched this movie the other day and I realized its effect on the Chuds we have today. American Sniper or American Propaganda? youtu.be/pQjj21uCJ-Q
negative · AI labelView post →At least it's not as bad as American Sniper, which is just a sincere version of the Nazi sniper movie-within-a-movie from Inglorious Basterds
negative · AI labelView post →And AMERICAN SNIPER also in 2014 - although it's based on a memoir, it's hard to see it as an IP movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Though this also reminds me of the time I went to see American Sniper, a movie I had been told was actually nuanced and interesting by IRL people whose opinions I previously trusted, and saw the main character unironically refer to the dozens of people he killed as savages.
negative · AI labelView post →My letterboxd #LastFourWatched 15:17 was such a fascinating movie. Spencer Stone's normal military guy story was a great counterpoint to the American Sniper story. I loved all the mundane stuff leading up to an out of the blue incident and an act of heroism that was as much dumb luck as heroic
positive · AI labelView post →Fair enough. Which was actually directed by a professed liberal (Don Siegel). It's a more complex film that they can grasp. Even more so, American Sniper, a profoundly anti-war film.
