Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesTo gain 40+ pounds, Bradley Cooper ate around 6,000 calories a day, which calculates to eating a meal every 55 minutes. Cooper added that it was not fun consuming those calories since his meals were usually in the form of bland protein shakes he had to choke down between weight lifting. Using his own trainer, he worked out four hours a day for several months. Cooper also took twice-daily lessons with a vocal coach, and spent many hours studying footage of Chris Kyle. When it came to pointing a rifle, Cooper trained with Navy S.E.A.L. sniper Kevin Lacz, who served with Kyle and was a consultant on this movie.
- PatzerKyle and Taya's babies are obviously prop dolls. Although the daughter doll's hand was CG-animated to move while Sienna Miller was holding it, Bradley Cooper can be seen subtly moving its arm with his thumb to make it seem like it is moving. The filmmakers acknowledged this after numerous reviews noted the fake baby, with screenwriter Jason Hall saying, "Real baby #1 showed up with a fever. Real baby #2 was [a] no show."
- Zitate
Chris Kyle: I'm not redneck; I'm Texan!
Taya Renae Kyle: What's the difference?
Chris Kyle: We ride horses, they ride their cousins.
- Crazy CreditsFootage of the real Chris Kyle's memorial service is featured during the first half of the end credits, while the instrumental "The Funeral" by Ennio Morricone plays on the soundtrack. Following the music and the footage, the rest of the end credits play in complete silence.
What AS tells is the true life figure Chris Kyle who served as the American military's 'lethal sniper' who has made more kills in his duty of tours during the Iraq war period after 9/11. It chronicles how Chris became a true American to protect his homeland and the aftermath of serving his tours when he came home to his small growing family, leading up to the final hours of his life.
Pros:
+ Bradley Cooper's portrayal of Chris Kyle is indeed a new height for his career, he gives a performance that can be described as gripping, tense and at times
+ The action sequences are all done well, but at times it can be tense, violent and confronting for some.
+ The emotional connection between the main character and his family, that the final scene that will either break you or make you undecided.
Cons:
- The controversy that surrounds it, it can make the film an exaggerated lie or truth to what Kyle was like in reality but again it is showing what war can do on people on the front-line and home.
OVERALL: Despite the controversy it has gained by writers , the film is indeed a strong acting showcase for Cooper while leaving audiences both open and more aware of the effects of war on human kind. Go in with an open mind and see for yourself for what you would think that made Chris Kyle a 'lethal sniper' for this country. If you had liked The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty and Machine Gun Preacher (not a war film but somewhat similar to Kyle's story) you will enjoy this.
