stanley Report post Posted January 16, 2015 I think I'm going to go see American Sniper this weekend. Can't always believe the movie hype, but this one looks to be a good one! Found a pretty good write-up on Chris Kyle...... http://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2013/april/the-legend-of-chris-kyle-01 Appears he was quite a man! Anyone else planning on seeing this movie???? S. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PelaPapas Report post Posted January 16, 2015 I read the book and liked it. I was planning on seeing it this weekend as well, but I think I will avoid the crowds and try to see it next week. Looks like a movie worth seeing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted January 16, 2015 See the movie, but read the book. I'm sure the movie won't or can't do the man justice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted January 16, 2015 See the movie, but read the book. I'm sure the movie won't or can't do the man justice. I'm leaving for a two week business trip to several ports in Asia next Weds, and was looking for some reading material for the long flights. Now I'm thinking I'll hold-off on the movie for now, and get the book to read on my trip! Then maybe catch the movie upon my return.... S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you like it you should also check out 98 confirmed kills about carlos Hitchcock. I actually liked it even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Read the book, and saw the movie last night at the midnight premier. The book of course, is/always will be better than the movie. I thought the movie was great, it had quite a bit on some things that weren't in the book, Hollywood fictional action, but for the most part, the movie portrayed Chris as the book portrayed him, as a humble American just doing what his duty as a SEAL was. -Seth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunterjohnny Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Very good movie. I agree it showed him as he always just thought he was just doing his job. Worth seeing for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been wanting to read the Hathcock book anyway, but never got around to it. I'll get them both prior to my departure (going to be a LONG trip)! S.

oz31p Report post Posted January 16, 2015 It was a great book. I can't picture Bradley cooper as CPO Kyle but I could be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Clint Eastwood and Cooper flew to Texas to meet with Chris Kyle's father. Mr. Kyle told them if they disrespected his son in the movie, that ..."He would rain down Helll " upon them........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shanehamblin Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Just saw the movie. Loved the book an anyone who hasn't read it I recommend it. I'm not a reader an I couldn't put it down. True American hero. A few things in the movie that weren't in the book. Hope to be able to teach my kids what a real hero like Chris Kyle is an not somebody from Hollywood. To bad our children will never learn this stuff in school about our American history 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
