I watched this sorry excuse for a film only to see how much crappy propaganda
Eastwood was able to incorporate. As a kid I used to adore Eastwood and his overly *masculine* (judge, jury and executioner) personas in movies. That is not the case anymore. Eastwood has always been a political hard-liner.. on (Firefox) and off the screen. Taking political views into consideration, C. Eastwood and Ch. Heston could've been brothers. I don't know why, but in recent years (and projects) Eastwood has been focusing more than ever on one-sided portrayals of Americans being the heroes. In my humble opinion CHRIS KYLE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE A HERO. A person with so many kills on his belt is A KILLER PURE AND SIMPLE, NOT A HERO.
Also, don't let me get started on B. Cooper. Personally, I think the guy has a terrible vibe. To me he seems incredibly ignorant, arrogant, selfish etc. All in all, just a horrible human being. One of the most unsympathetic people I've ever seen on screen. Enough about Cooper.. he doesn't deserve more of my attention.
Let's have a look at CE's last 5 movies..
J. Edgar = probably a good portrayal of Hoover, since the guy must've been a complete psychopath. Still one of Eastwood's worst movies. Jersey Boys = the exception here .. not bad, but not great either Sully = boring boring boring boring .. only for U.S. audiences. A pilot did his job and landed a plane. Wow. How mesmerising. 15:17 to Paris = one isolated incident turned into something epic .. propaganda in its purest form .. some of it may actually be factual. I'm pretty sure there's been a similar (or even better) story somewhere in history not involving U.S. soldier's on a train. Why not tell that?
..and this pile of crap.
A couple of questions regarding Hollywood movies/blockbusters:
Furthermore, something to think about:

A couple of questions regarding Hollywood movies/blockbusters:
- When there's an alien invasion or attack of any kind,
- Why is the U.S. always portrayed as the world leader and/or hero in such situations?
Furthermore, something to think about:
- Americans (U.S. citizens especially) are among the dumbest, least educated nations in the world. They may have some of the best schools/universities in the world, but only a small number of the world's population is actually allowed to attend, rendering their over-priced existence insignificant. The *normal* school system over there is horrible. Designed to manipulate more than educate.
