An excellent biographical film that makes people uncomfortable to watch

The film follows the life of Chris, an excellent American sniper, focusing on his combat experience in Iraq as a SEAL sniper. Chris, the American sniper, protected his teammates on the battlefield, and still tried his best to help the veterans affected by the war, but in the end he died under the gun of the veterans he helped. How ironic! War is ugly, it makes people less human. There is no good or evil on the battlefield, only death, bloodshed, and pain. While on the phone with his wife, Chris was reaping the lives of the Iraqi people. He and his teammates occasionally returned to the peaceful American home to enjoy the tenderness of his wife and the cuteness of his children, but his opponent, the Syrian sniper. , facing the muzzle of the Americans all the time. Although it happened in a flash, he also has a wife and children. He used to be a brilliant athlete, but now he is a terrorist, but he is not a rebel. In Chris's eyes, he is a The killer who killed his comrade-in-arms, in Mustafa's eyes, does Chris play the same role? The war brings only chaos, I can't tell the good and the bad of the two, although Chris has a lot of good and respectable qualities, but I think both of them are just guns in the hands of politicians. Victims and victims of war. Especially when you plug the perspective into "The Victim," what the film shows is hard to beat. The movie can clearly see the anti-war thoughts of Mr. Dongmu, but also can see the moral superiority of being an American. The movie focuses on depicting the damage of the war to American soldiers, but there is no sympathy for the Iraqi people. In order to highlight the horror The crime of the terrorists, the film shows the beheaded corpses (terrorists do this in reality), the American soldiers call themselves "civilized" and call the enemy "barbarians", but what is it in reality? ? The "terrorists" in their mouths were supported by the Americans, and the Australian soldiers killed civilians indiscriminately for fun. What is the difference between their behavior and the "savages" and "terrorists" in their mouths? This can be done by all the subordinate troops, but what about the "great and just" American soldiers? But they can also exchange the death of civilians for military merit, and they can return to their warm homes to enjoy the comfort of their homes, barbecue, hunt, and train cattle. Even Chris' showing mercy to the bazooka-lifting kid feels like a cheap handout. The people living on Iraqi soil are under the horror of death every day and every night. They do not know when an American soldier will suddenly break into their home, throw themselves to the ground, and point guns at their wives and children. They don't know when they will They were beheaded and shot dead by terrorists after saying a word to the Americans. They didn't know when a missile would fly to their house, and they couldn't even have the will to resist. When they ask "Allah" why they want to live in such a terrible world, "Allah" will tell them "Although you have nothing, you are free." It's an excellent biographical film, but I'm having a hard time watching it.
