American Wet Dream

Let me begin by saying I love US middle-eastern war films. I recognise the complexity of the situation that led to the placement of US troops in Iraq, but regardless I thoroughly enjoy the modern war setting combined with middle-eastern cultural elements. Green Zone, The Kingdom, Black Hawk Down, Mosul - all movies that I rate exceptionally highly.

With that out of the way, it couldn't be clearer that American Sniper is painting the most simplistically pro-US message possible. There's no depth to the storytelling past 'we good guys, they bad guys' (several lines in the movie are VERY close to straight up quoting that). My complaint isn't the film's pro-US angle (Black Hawk Down was also pretty pro-US) but the utter simplicity of American sniper's implementation of the viewpoint makes it predictable and mundane. It's like a 12 year old's moral view throughout, and all the potentially great moral conundrums throughout the film are lost because of it.

Trivia
To gain 40+ pounds, Bradley Cooper ate around 6,000 calories a day, which calculates to eating a meal every 55 minutes. Cooper added that it was not fun consuming those calories since his meals were usually in the form of bland protein shakes he had to choke down between weight lifting. Using his own trainer, he worked out four hours a day for several months. Cooper also took twice-daily lessons with a vocal coach, and spent many hours studying footage of Chris Kyle. When it came to pointing a rifle, Cooper trained with Navy S.E.A.L. sniper Kevin Lacz, who served with Kyle and was a consultant on this movie.

Errores
A SEAL would not be allowed to informally lead another unit's breaching operation, even if it was to "show them a thing or two to keep everyone [alive]". A breaching & room clearing operation is a finely tuned and intensively drilled routine, where each individual knows and performs his specific role relative to the group. An outsider, even a SEAL, inserting themselves into the middle of such a delicate operation with no prior familiarization would jeopardize the safety of the entire team and would never be allowed.

Citas
Chris Kyle: I'm not redneck; I'm Texan!
Taya Renae Kyle: What's the difference?
Chris Kyle: We ride horses, they ride their cousins.

Créditos curiosos
Footage of the real Chris Kyle's memorial service is featured during the first half of the end credits, while the instrumental "The Funeral" by Ennio Morricone plays on the soundtrack. Following the music and the footage, the rest of the end credits play in complete silence.
