Clint Eastwood makes American sniper the number seven on my top favorite movies. I think the story of Chris Kyle is the most powerful U.S military story I ever read and seen. This movie’s about a Texas man who always dreamed of becoming a cowboy and got bored and wanted to join the fight against terrorism. He goes to Iraq and saves US lives with his dangerous accuracy. I think this movie was one of the best military movies ever watch. This movie made me think of All the vets and people in our army

Happy endings are presumed to belong to the realm of fantasy. In real life‚ after all‚ even a thumping electoral victory is generally more a first act than a last; what ensues‚ much too often‚ is disappointment‚ broken promises and even murmurs of a recall. When the believer‚ in any faith‚ tells us that the reward for bloody sacrifice is eternal joy‚ the nonbeliever is often tempted to think that the believer is merely trying to justify the ways of God to man. On earth at least‚ the end of life is

American Sniper The title alone sums the movie up perfectly and drawing out all suspicion or notions that this is not just some war movie‚ instead more of noble story of America’s own navy SEAL Chris Kyle and one of the us military’s most deadly sniper with a confirmed kill count of 160 souls and over 200 claimed kills . He also holds a marksman title for 2100 yard confirmed kill ‚that is essentially shooting a man from over 21 football fields away and much like the life of the great hero we enter

The main character is a young Japanese soldier called saigo who is little enthused on fighting and going to war. This is all seen through techniques eastwood input such as flashbacks- which were important in the film. The audience is then able to see how the soldiers
