    Storyline

    • Trivia
      To 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.
    • Goofs
      Kyle 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."
    • Quotes

      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 credits
      Footage 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.

    clint hits the target with American sniper...
    it was extremely 'even'. nothing seemed overplayed. well balanced storytelling. as someone else wrote, best war movie i've seen in years...and while we're at it, best clint movie in a few outings, as well... i agree that the ending is a bit sudden. but there was no reason to drag it out, either... i don't feel it lingered on any one dynamic of what would be expected from a film like this...not TOO much violence or proselytizing/flag waving or lingering on casualty horrors... it doesn't, on the other hand, turn away from any of the ugliness, either... i thought bradley cooper did a great job in the role. the changes he gradually instilled into the character were subtle but present. it's as well done a war movie as i'll ever need.
