"There are three kinds of people in this world: sheep, wolves and shepherd dogs. Choose for yourself."

I don't think there is any kind of war scene that can stimulate the adrenaline of the audience more than the life and death game between snipers. This film is based on Chris Kyle's real life story. Taking the "Legend" of the most outstanding sniper in American history as the first person to call us, we describe the growth of a sniper and the hesitation between family and faith during the war. Although the male coach is in a mess, I still feel a little stiff in the performance of certain mental dramas. The male protagonist was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he is also the eldest son in the family. Since he was a child, he has a kind of responsibility, which also laid the foundation for his future patriotism, and even suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder because of his patriotism. After returning home, the hero stared blankly at the black-screen TV, but there were bursts of war gunshots in his head. This section of the description of the trauma after the war is particularly wonderful. Fortunately, the care of the family pulled him back from the abyss after the war. The feeling of suffocation in the sniper game is not well reflected in the film, but the protagonist’s inner struggle can still be portrayed. I thought the final match against the Syrian Olympic champion was a new climax, but unfortunately, I think the director showed us very ordinary. There are three kinds of people in this world: sheep, wolves and shepherds. Sheep are too naive and lack self-protection awareness and ability; wolves bully the weak; shepherds are born to fight against wolves and are responsible and capable of protecting the weak. Fortunately, the male protagonist has become the rare latter. He chose to have a responsible life and did so at the same time. He was eventually called "Legend". Sitting in front of the screen, how would you choose? ps: Finally, I learned about the real story of the "legendary". Kyle finally died under the gun of an American veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, which is really regrettable. And his autobiography of "America's First Sniper" has already been marked. Online praise and criticism of his post-war character, including publishing income, are mixed. I think the important thing is not how we should disintegrate a "legend", but how to create a legend of our own.
