American Sniper

From director Clint Eastwood

Starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.

There was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter. U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname "Legend."

Synopsis

Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.

Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the spirit of the SEAL creed to “leave no one behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

A two-time Oscar nominee for his work in “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle,” Cooper heads the cast, which also includes Sienna Miller, Luke Grimes, Jake McDorman, Cory Hardrict, Kevin Lacz, Navid Negahban and Keir O’Donnell.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint Eastwood (“Million Dollar Baby,” “Unforgiven”) directed “American Sniper” from a screenplay written by Jason Hall, based on the book by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice.

American Sniper
American Sniper is one of the best war film reenactments I've seen to this day. Bradley Cooper does an exceptional job as Chris Kyle and Clint Eastwood did an amazing job directing the film. I read the book cover to cover before the movie came out and the movie followed the book pretty close unlike a lot of films written based off materials from books. This was a great price and well worth adding to my blu-ray collection. I do not like to spoil film so here is a summary from IMDB "Navy S.E.A.L. sniper Chris Kyle's (Bradley Cooper's) pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and turns him into a legend. Back home to his wife and kids after four tours of duty, however, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind."

4.0 out of 5 stars A complex, layered tale by Eastwood--the closest he's come to Melville's "Moby Dick"
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2015
Verified Purchase
After the first ten minutes of “American Sniper” I could think about nothing but “Moby Dick,” Melville’s great American novel about one man’s consuming obsession that is at once an expression of American Puritanism and of the individualism and industry of those who exhibit a heroic nature that defies the confines of serving a landlocked, limiting community in favor of “living the dream” of the liberated, adventurous, new-world self. At the beginning of Melville's epic, quintessentially American, novel, we hear a sermon that will frame the story and identify its central protagonist by seeming to condemn to everlasting damnation those who would follow such a course.

“American Sniper” offers in place of the stirring rhetoric and evangelical fervor of Melville’s fire-and-brimstone preacher—whose message shaming the rising tides of the Godless-flesh seems betrayed by the passion of its expression—a humble meditation delivered in a small country church by a pastor-shepherd who speaks conversationally and tentatively about the mystery of God’s infinite wisdom and the need for intellectual humility on the part of those who comprise His flock and wait upon His Grace. Though there’s no comparison with the imaginative eloquence and resonating power of the Puritan preacher’s sermon that helps explain and shape Ahab's journey, the pastoral offering of the country preacher serves a similar function in helping us undrstand Chris Kyle’s singular and single-minded attraction to Iraq.

The message of the film's minister is lost on Mr. Kyle, Sr. and on his bored and noticeably restless son, Chris.. In its place, the head of the Kyle household drills into his two quaking sons a dogmatic, absolutist text of his own, based upon his reductive tripartite division of humanity into three types: sheep, wolves, and wolf-dogs. It should be noted that Kyle Sr. makes no mention of the Savior of humanity in Christian literature and theology, who is characterized in the New Testament not as a “wolf dog” but as the “good Shepherd,” and whose guidance becomes vital to the salvation of his flock, which consists of all human beings in creation, since all are equal in the eyes of God the Father. Such a mild message of peace is lost on Mr. Kyle, who stresses the importance of not merely “righting” every personal wrong but of “finishing off” the wolf who brought injury upon you, your family and friends. Throughout "American Sniper" we will witness the indelible effect of the father's message upon the son, who imagines he will not be fully worthy of his father's blessings until he has "finished off" the last obstructive wolf dog.

By Chris’ 2nd and 3rd tours of Iraq, it’s clear that his wife, his own brother, and even some of his former comrades have become disillusioned by a heartless and pointless war. Chris Kyle’s “kill count” and the recreation it affords his buddies, who at least can take pleasure in bragging about their company’s sharpshooting celebrity, is what gives Kyle’s buddies some light moments in an otherwise hopeless, purposeless war. And when Kyle’s best friend is shot, the assignation of America's best kill-shot to a rival sharpshooter with Olympian skills (and a suitably picturesque nick-name: “The Butcher”) sets up the final confrontation as certainly as Ahab’s last run at the Great White. Kyle’s buddies have by now begun to make a game of who deserves the most credit as Chris' biggest PR agent in Iraq, But it's never a game for Chris, who is now set up to finish off “The Butcher”—or be finished off himself. This personal vendetta consumes him at the expense of everything else.

When Kyle delivers the 2-mile kill shot (does any one check to verify that it hits its mark?), he gives away his regiment’s location, attracting much unfriendly fire. But at this moment of personal validation, he's acts as though he's invulnerable to the exploding armaments all around him (reminding me of Robert Duvall's surfing American officer in Coppola's "Apocalypse Now") and calls his wife, shouting that he's coming home. The quest had apparently become so personal that, by the time Chris "finishes off" the "Butcher," the mission is complete without the dispatching of any more wolf dogs.

Throughout the film we see the indelible effect of the father’s message on the son, and the viewer is left to wonder if the end of the film is a conventional hero’s welcome or a problematic tribute admitting some criticism of a soldier who not only took his heroism too seriously but did so at the expense of the sheep whose internal injuries could represent no less a threat to him than the Iraqi opposition. And how important is his “showdown” with “The Butcher” if it leads to prideful defiance of death and abandonment of the soldiers who still count on his protection? (Ironically, in a conversation with the psychiatrist at the vets' hospital he insists that he suffers only from a regret that he didn't protect more of his men.) At best, the hero's “homecoming” invites different interpretations, even apart from the death that awaits him on a shooting range.

The film may indeed be patriotic and sincere in its admiration of its protagonist, but it’s also more layered and complex than many viewers appear willing to allow. A study of Eastwood’s other films, which frequently deal with the search for an authentic male identity, would provide a clearer view. But better yet, read Melville's "Moby Dick."

Reviewed in France on July 9, 2015

Voici une scène qui résume bien la démarche de Mister Clint :
L'instant où le personnage de Chris Kyle neutralise le "boucher" (abominable tueur à la perceuse). Cela ne dure qu'un instant et en coin de plan. Le véhicule explose bord cadre et retour sur l'évacuation de l'unité. Aucune complaisance sur la mise à mort du tortionnaire qui nous a vrillé les tripes auparavent. Une séquence d'action sèche et sans emphase ni envolée musicale triomphante. Le sniper à fait le job. Point barre.
Raconter la vie du Sniper le plus redoutable de l'histoire? On peut le prendre dans tous les sens, le sujet reste casse-gueule. Clint, lui, ne s'embarrasse d'aucune posture. Ni faiseur, ni auteur. Il va faire le job. Sobrement. Avec une implacable simplicité. Dans la totale maitrise de son art et le classicisme royal de sa photographie. Un boulot sur l'image signé du fidèle Tom Stern. Eastwood ne se contente pas d'imprimer la"légende"il va nous raconter l'histoire d'un soldat d'élite. Ni plus beau, ni plus intelligent qu'un autre mais d'une efficacité redoutable. Bradley Cooper, excellent acteur et indiscutable belle gueule et charmeur absolu du nouveau paysage hollywoodien, ne fera d'ailleurs rêver personne dans sa texane composition du patriote, élevé au grain et à l'humour bas de plafond. 15kg de plus et menton en avant. Mais le dévouement absolu du personnage à ses missions sera d'un bout l'autre du film traité avec respect par le cinéaste. Le regard n'est pas glorifiant, juste à hauteur d'homme.
L'hommage est indéniable mais le patriotisme n'éclabousse pas pour autant l'écran. Si le générique de fin célèbre Chris Kyle comme un héros national sur la base d'images d'archives impressionnantes, ce qui a précédé et qui n'appartient qu'au regard d'Eastwood, n'a pas éludé la face sombre de son engagement. Seul concession "hollywoodienne", l'affrontement entre les deux snipers adverses qui s'achève dans une mise en scène clairement "spectaculaire". Mais on ne devient pas "une légende" par hasard. Très vite Eastwood va faire atterrir son personnage. Cet homme que tout le monde surnomme "la légende"quittera l'armée, hanté, dépressif et ne s'en sortira qu'en retournant à la seule chose qu'il maitrise. Le tir. Tout l'amour de sa femme et de sa famille ne suffiront pas à le sortir de sa prostration. C'est auprès de ses "frères d'armes" et en tant qu'instructeur que sa vie retrouvera du sens. C'est aussi cet engagement qui causera sa perte. Un sort évoqué indirectement mais d'une manière absolument admirable et encore sous le signe d'un regard "à distance".
Pour moi la mission est accomplie. Eastwood a évité les deux principaux pièges du sujet. Signer un film ouvertement patriotique qui aurait montré Kris Kyle en nouveau Rambo dans une succession de séquences héroïques ou se laisser aller à un pamphlet rageur qui aurait montré Chris Kyle en bête de guerre, totalement lobotomisée. Les deux axes auraient été à mon avis des contre-sens et n'auraient pas respecté la mémoire du soldat. Le rêve américain, Eastwood n'en a cure. Il suffit de revoir Honkytonk Man, Bird, Mystic River ou Million Dollar Baby pour s'en convaincre. American Sniper est un film de guerre pur et dur. Douloureux, violent et sans illusions.

LE BLU-RAY: On commence à être habitué. Tous les transferts HD des derniers Eastwood sont des modèles du support. Définition et précision au taquet. Respect absolu de la photographie d'origine. Noirs solides et traitement des couleurs admirable. Encore un top démo!
