American Sniper

I have no problem with the movie, just the expectation.

Having served for decades, I would find a complete lack of profanity absurd. Beyond that, it wasn’t rated R for f-bombs and I certainly wouldn’t expect to take my minor children to see it.

[RetSignman]

If a sniper had his assassin in his sites and Moore was given the option for him to shoot or not, would he STILL stand by his convictions?

[rabidralph]

I guess not :-)

Please hand me that ammo can over there. Thank you.

[Future Snake Eater]

Once you leave the service you quickly adapt to the toned-down vocabulary back home

Boy, I hope so...

[dfwgator]

I don’t think there’s a knife sharp enough to cut through that thick neck of his’.

Saw it today. Crowded Theater. Silent as the credits rolled. Powerful. Focused on the man’s devotion to his country. The opposite of what passes as a hero today.

[moonhawk]

I don’t think Chris Kyle or Sarah Palin deserve that sort of put-down.

Even if the Pats are not guilty—which is doubtful.

[Mears]

I hate seeing people get shot but I love all types of movies——even with shooting.

The swearing is just part of the military experience.

You’re missing a great film.

great link thanks watching it now

[Fightin Whitey]

I wasn’t talking about profanity at all.

And you know far better than I the message that I found valuable in the movie.

Thanks for your long years of service.

I saw it at the Cinerama Dome on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood - packed theatre and people cheered at the final credits -

[atc23]

Seriously - people complain that seeing a woman's naked body is sinful but seeing people and animals gruesomely slaughtered for no reason is not.

What's wrong with this picture?

[Flycatcher]

Solution: go to the movie and every time it looks like an F-bomb will be imminently dropped, quickly cover your ears with your hands and loudly yell out: Lalalalalalalalalalalala!

Do you think you can do that?

[PapaNew]

OK but first I gotta get a Jim Carrey disguise.

[Manic_Episode]

I hear 10 times that many f-bombs at work every single day and am immune to them. My Wife, however, could never sit thru that.

[Comment Not Approved]

Just returned from watching American Sniper.

Never been to a movie theater as quiet as today.

Powerful movie ... a must see.

[DPMD]

Kyle salutes Hathcock in his book as the greatest of all time.

[yarddog]

I think Hathcock may have been the greatest marksman, maybe the greatest sniper.

Simo Hayha has to be right up there with the best.

[CrazyIvan]

 ”Don’t forget WWII and Vietnam veteran Carlos Hathcock with95 confirmed. Also, all their brothers formerly and now serving.”

Carlos is still my hero. (as if I'm worthy to clean either of their rifles.)

We went to the 12:30 show on Friday afternoon and while it wasn’t packed, it was quite full for a 12:30 show.
