movie review - american sniper

Movie trail:

American Sniper is an American biographical war of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice. With 255 kills, 160 of which were officially confirmed by the Department of Defense, Kyle is the deadliest marksman in U.S. military history.

It’s a good movie, but the ending is a tragedy, Kyle was killed by a veteran, whom he is trying to help him on his PTSD.

The veteran, who is accused of killing Kyle and his friend, has a record of using drug since he was high school. This I really doubt, how can he even get in military? And later he is suffered from PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. And still own guns and allow going to a shoot ranch.

Kyle, a hero, saves so many lives, also suffered from PTSD at the beginning when he decides to leave military. With a doctor’s encourage start to help on others who experience the same as him and recover gradually. It’s such a shame.

No one wants the war; we all know it cannot resolve the problem, but what can?

In this movie, a breathtaking and touching scene, Kyle must judge whether he should pull the trigger toward a innocent little boy while this boy is intend to pick up a rocket gun and fire.  

At the end of movie, unlike the other kind of movie, there’s a long silence moment, it seems to salute and paying respect to Kyle and his families and the ones who like him.
