Just curious, is anyone planning to see American Sniper ? Aside from the fact it has a grade douche Bradley Cooper in it, I have no plans on seeing it, without trying to get political, it just seems like a propaganda puff piece, that probably neglects to cover how many innocent Iraqis who were accidentally killed by US snipers.
Definitely wouldn't go as far as Michael Moore in his scathing critique of the film on twitter (which definitely was hurtful and offensive to the widow of the Sniper this movie was based on) but I would find it very upsetting and uncomfortable to watch. I find most movies I've seen disturbing anyway, aside from All Quiet on the Western Front, a timeless classic.
Directed by Clint Eastwood... I respect his body of work enough to give it a go. There's usually more to his films than your average Hollywood release.
