its funny, because this true war story (well movie based on the book which is a true story),  is set to out gross every single actual (anti war on terror) propoganda made by the far left in hollywood. litterly all propaganda films combined from the 21st century.

the far left hollywood has made no less than 18 pieces of lying propogandist anti-war on terror films.(to include the likes of In the Valley of Elah, Syriana, Lions for Lambs, Green Zone, Stop-loss, Home of the Brave, Body of Lies, Brothers, Rendition, plus many others). these 18 movies have gross a mesely $300m, American Sniper alone is set to close in on $400m. and these propoganda films cost about a $billion to make, while Sniper cost $60m.

if the hollywood left werent so anti-science and math, they would realize the key to making easy money is tell the truth and get over themselves. Stop dishing out agenda driven drivel, give us real stories about courageous heroes that put their life on the line to stop "evil savages" as Chris Kyle puts it.

no we would accurately describe the vermin on the otherside as "evil barbaric savages". Coward not necessarilly, but like a nazi sniper, or any other villian fighting for evil, they are evil, while a sniper fighting for right, is not only not cowardly, but also a hero

That's really not what the movie was trying to say, though. He was good at his job, and his job was essential to operational success, and the operation itself was important (to sort the mess we had created in Iraq, attempt to restore order, and remove some people who indeed deserved the "barbarian" label from terrorizing the country), but the question is the human cost, not only in the lives he had to take, but in his own plummeting quality of life.

I don't doubt that the issue hits home with you, but it bears reflecting upon. War is a terrible thing that changes people, even exceptional warriors.

i agree with the bolded. im not saying the movie glorifies war, or even says its good. it is pretty much saying the opposite. but though war is regrettable, it is sometimes necassary. and this movie is clear (as was chris kyle) there is good, and there is evil. and he was killing evil, and didnt regret it. but it does come with a cost

Not really Jersey Boys didn't really make any money at the box office and most critics hated it and it didn't impress too many viewers either or it would have made a lot more at the box office.

War movies are becoming more self aware. You still have the "America fuck yeah" theme but they more or less detached themselves from having a benevolent US army. And that makes better movies imo.

Taken 3 already came out?

Why is the "right" so obsessed with Hollywood? I thought they didn't like Hollywood in the first place?

If you think the conflict in general is as simple as fighting "evil savages", I think that's fairly silly to be honest. Iraq never attacked the US, we went onto their soil under false pretenses and killed tens (hundreds?) of thousands of their civilians for basically nothing. Explain to me what's heroic about it, would our government give two craps about the middle east if it wasn't for oil? I doubt it. If it was really about 9/11 ask yourself why the US government didn't attack Saudi Arabia (all/most of the hijakers were Saudi, not a single one was Iraqi). We slaughtered basically for corporate greed and oil-lust (gotta control the region to get that sweet, sweet oil). If China did the same thing to another country we'd be condemning them out the ass for it and calling their actions as war crimes, etc. etc. 

Well one thing nice about it making a lot of money is that it gives the January domestic box office a huge boost. I'm thinking over 11 billion domestically is possible.

Not really. Most of his movies don't make a lot of money. Jersey Boys basically bombed.
