At the time of its release in 2015, American Sniper has divided critics. Clint Eastwood's film has been accused by some observers of glorifying the American army and in particular of glorifying the intervention in Iraq, by presenting American snipers as heroes. . It is especially the vision of Chris Kyle who killed more than 160 people, which is denounced. Several American media outlets and personalities have spoken out to denounce the point of view of the feature film, such as filmmaker Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11, Bowling or Columbine…). The latter tweeted the following message when the film was released: “My uncle was killed by a sniper during World War II. We were taught that snipers were cowards, that they would shoot you in the back. Snipers are not heroes. And the invaders are worse. “

It must be said that American Snipertraces the life of Chris Kyle, a sniper who is said to have made 160 kills during the Iraq War. The character is controversial, with some portraying him as a hero, while others consider him a “hate-filled killer”. In his memoirs, released in 2012 (a few months before his death), Chris Kyle wrote that his “only regret is not having killed more” more. I loved it."

While American Sniper has received several critics, its defenders have also been vocal. The Daily Caller editorial pointed out that "Hollywood is overwhelmingly left-wing and has produced a series of anti-war and anti-military films that have been flops. In this world, American Sniperis an anomaly”. Despite this controversy, Clint Eastwood's film nevertheless garnered six Oscar nominations in 2015, but only took home the statuette for best sound editing.

Synopsis– “One bullet, one kill” could be the credo of snipers. In the U.S. Navy SEALS, we apply it every day. The soldiers must also be masters in the art of infiltrating enemy borders without being detected to shoot down their cartridges. Not far from their adversaries, they must survive to intervene quickly. “American Sniper” is Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper). It is a dramatic and gripping account of his life and his 160 official victories during the Iraq War from 2003 to 2009. Mr. Kyle's early life and military exploits read like something out of an adventure film. As a child, he lived in Odessa, Texas, where he hunted and trained horses. In college, he rode professionally until his fatal fall. He continued on to Colorado, where a Navy recruiter spots him.
