The film is the official recommended film of the 18th Shanghai International Film Festival from June 13th to 21st. It is the second film I watched in this film festival. I was very shocked after watching the film! It's not the visual and auditory shock of the US military's bombardment on the Iraqi battlefield! But the end of the story is chilling and shocking! The film is adapted from the autobiography of the same name by Chris Kyle, the "deadliest marksman" in the United States. It is because the truth is particularly attractive that the evergreen Clint East, who is now over eighty years old, Wood re-directs the tube!
Budley Cooper, who is both starring and producer, did not hesitate to add 36 pounds to the role, trying to reproduce the image of a sniper as a tough guy. It is true: everyone has seen Cooper's "Never Ending" and "American Hustle". " and other movies, the image of the star is very handsome, especially those blue eyes, it is easy to be electrocuted! This time in "American Sniper", it can be described as a transformational work. His entire image is like a white bear in his prime, with well-developed chest muscles, tall and mighty! As an audience, the first impression I saw when I saw Cooper was that he seemed a little stunned and a little astonished! He has also been nominated for an Academy Award for acting for three consecutive years for his dedication to the film.
Chris Kyle (hereinafter referred to as Kyle), as an excellent marksman in the US Navy SEALs, what was his legendary life like? Just from his childhood: Kyle has a younger brother. Because he is weak and small, he will be bullied by strong classmates. Although Kyle is taller than his younger brother, he is taller than his bad classmates who are tall and fat. Without thinking, he rushed up with a single stride. He didn't care about anything to protect his younger brother. With this bravery and justice, who would win if he didn't win? The relationship between their brothers has always been very good. When they grew up, they met Kyle's girlfriend cheating on one time, and angrily kicked her out of the house. The girlfriend also complained about her poor bed skills. Shi told him not to speak, but his brother still said humorously: When will you get married? It made Kyle cry and laugh.
After emotional setbacks, Kyle did not sink. He turned his grief into strength, but he resolutely joined the army at the age of 30. He endured hardships and stood the test of time! After joining the SEALs, he started training shooting, and his level has steadily risen! At this time, Kyle met a beautiful, upright woman in a bar, and they both fell in love with each other at first sight, started dating, and fell in love. After witnessing the collapse of the 9/11 Twin Towers, they both realized that they were going to be separated, so they decided to get married and have a baby, so that Kyle could go to Iraq in peace.
As a trained sniper, it must be very strange to kill for the first time. Before facing a target, now you have to face a living person, and what Kyle met was still a child! It was his mother who let the child take a Soviet-style grenade to blast parked American tanks and unsuspecting soldiers. That night, Kyle was very sad and there was a shadow in his heart. He could only do this because he had to perform tasks at work. During the difficult days of more than 1,000 days when he came to the Iraqi battlefield four times, Kyle wiped out more than 160 people in time. people, and constantly refresh the team's sniper record!
When Kyle returned with honors and returned to the United States, but he was not able to integrate into family life, his heart could not be quiet, he was disturbed by the murderous work of the war, just like what his brother complained at the Iraqi airport: The damn battlefield! After hard work, Kyle finally returned to his son and daughter. He was very happy, kind and helpful. He was unfortunately shot to death while helping a mentally handicapped retired soldier!
Kyle's father said when training at home that there are three types of people: the wolf type bullies the weak, the sheep type doesn't dare to resist, and the shepherd type eliminates evil and promotes goodness. There are very few such people. Kyle is this kind of person! In fact, there is a fourth type of people: perverts who pretend to be people. They are different in appearance, have serious mental illnesses, and pretend to be pitiful on the surface, but they are actually cruel inside. The polarization between war life and retired life makes people distorted and evil! Let the strong Kyle also be invincible! So be extra careful and stay away from this fourth type of person!
As the best-selling war-themed movie in the United States, it was an honor to see it at this international film festival without introducing it! The director restores the cruelty of war and the unpredictability of people's hearts in a straightforward manner! This movie is worth watching, don't miss it!
