American Sniper Analysis

The first movie that comes to mind when I think of product placement is Top Gun. I personally do not like this movie but my boyfriend watches it on a monthly basis which means so do I. Tom Cruise is a big tough guy who enters The Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School to work on his pilot skills. He consistently attempts to steal the attention of his beautiful flight instructor by trying to be a big shot which causes tension with the rest of his team. The movie showcases Tom’s incredible flight skills that are extremely risking but very impressive. Once he gets ahold of his ego, he learns how to be a great pilot, a great team player, and he even gets the girl.

The American Propaganda War movies tend to give an inspiration towards viewers by the heroes but The American Sniper portrays a man as a hero while his actions and mentality shows otherwise. The high-rated movie glorifies a United States Navy SEAL, Christopher Kyle, who served as a sniper four tours in the Middle East. Watching this violent, action autobiography can influence many young adults my age. However, the effect this movie gives to young people brings extreme negative thoughts and puts hatred in the viewer head.

“The American Sniper” by Chris Kyle is an account of the deadliest American sniper ever, called “the devil” by the enemies he hunted and “the legend” by his Navy SEAL brothers. From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyle's kills (the previous American record was 109). Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Kyle presents the gripping and unforgettable accounts of

American Sniper and 13 Hours both have amazing and realistic fights, but throughout ouch each of the movies only one brings you in more. 13 Hours does this. The CIA’s group was left with the final task, defend the compound. They were hit with mortars. The compound was under attack,. they were being shot at and people were dying. One of the many problems was that they were left to do this by themselves until the U.S could get help to them. On the other hand Chris and his comrades were sent in to fight as one and not be alone throughout American Sniper. They were sent into Iraq to continue to kill high value targets. Many points throughout 13 Hours they focus on one large group for the fights. But in American Sniper Chris Kyle focuses on just

A sniper such as Chris Kyle faced moral sin on multiple occasions. In the first combat scene of American Sniper, the audience views a depiction of Kyle over watching Marines move down a street in Iraq. A women in a black dress moves outside along with a boy; Kyle immediately watches the two move into the path of the advancing Marines. Kyle’s keen sense to the battle field helps detect that the woman is carrying something under her clothes as her arms are not swaying as one would naturally do. Kyle focuses in on the mother and son and witness a transfer of a grenade from mother to son. Kyle is relaying the information to the ground forces below. Kyle’s security member states that he will fry if he is wrong. Kyle waits until the boy starts running toward the Marines, and then takes his shot

The set of image I found to be most intriguing was on page 106. The set of images show a soldier getting shot minutes before the end of world war 1. A sniper had sniped the soldier and was about to snipe the soldiers brother but the snipers commander told the sniper the war was over. In the first image the soldier is being hit with bullet and he is falling over. This picture takes up most of the page since it’s a very important part of the graphic novel. The next couple of images are the sniper who shot the soldier. These images show the sniper aiming at the soldiers and his commander telling him no more because the war was over. It was sad going home without my brother but I had to fight through the pain.

The movie shooter is about a former US sniper who is set up to help kill the president. The movie begins with a flashback of Bob Lee Swagger and his partner in war. It shows his buddy getting killed which has a lot of meaning later in the story. Early in the movie Bob is shot and is on the run from the world. He is unable to show his face because it’s all over the news. He is able to find his buddies wife and she helps his wounds and he stays with her.

American Sniper is a 2014 American biographical war film directed by Clint Eastwood and written by Jason Hall. It is loosely based on the memoir American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History by Chris Kyle. The film follows the life of Kyle, who became the deadliest marksman in U.S. military history with 255 kills from four tours in the Iraq War, 160 of which were officially confirmed by the Department of Defense. Although Clint Eastwood had Kyle’s autobiography to reference to, Eastwood still made up events that didn’t really happen but, on the other hand, there were some events that he matched perfectly.

In the story, “The Sniper” by Liam O’ Flaherty, the author uses irony to prove the theme, war reduces human beings to being nothing but objects. When the author describes the main character, he writes, “a man who is used to looking at death” (Flaherty 1). A normal person would be scarred for life if they saw as much as a soldier did; soldiers witness death so much that they are used to it. After the sniper shot the man, the author writes, “he felt a sudden curiosity as to the identity of the enemy sniper whom he had killed… he was a good shot, whoever he was” (4). The sniper was proud of his kill; in war, people are just targets and nothing more, to be shot at from a distance. Humans are treated like objects when in war, this displays irony

This week I watched the movie American Sniper for the hundredth time and every time I see it, it feels like the first time. It is a sad movie but also one of the best movies I have ever see. American Sniper is based on a true story about a former Navy Seal by the name of Chris Kyle, who was known as the deadliest sniper in U.S History. He was only 38 when he was killed by a former veteran who served in the marines named Eddie Ray Routh. He was diagnosed with PTSD. I later read an article about the Government should be able to do more to treat veterans with PTSD. The case that was talked about in the article was the veteran that killed Chris Kyle and there was a lot of questions being asked rather the Government is doing all it can to recognize

According to Johnson (2011), “in 1922, (what is now Northern Ireland), divided the small island nation into many factions which fought in the streets of Dublin and across the countryside.” Two groups fought in the civil war the Republicans, that favor the unification of Ireland and Free Staters, that prefer the separation of Ireland. Liam O’Flaherty, a World War I veteran, produced a work of literature which described in vivid detail the horrors of war and the effects violence could have on both civilians and soldiers (Johnson, 2011). Liam O’Flaherty author of “The Sniper,” uses a young man to represent a battle that happened in Ireland, his country. A battle is raging on in the Irish nation forcing soldiers to kill one another. A civil

It is a truth of human nature that people will find themselves in situations they are not ready for. People often think they can do things they aren’t mature enough to handle. This happens to the young man in the short story “The Sniper” by O’Flaherty. The Sniper is fighting in a war that compels him to grow up, but the reader can see that even though he is experienced he still is not mature enough to handle the battle because of the risk he takes throughout the story. War forces people to grow up rapidly which causes them to act irrationally and suffer because of the choices they make.

This movie is about Chris Kyle, who is a dedicated Navy SEAL sniper. He is referred to as “The Legend” because he is one of the greatest, deadliest snipers and has killed dozens of people. American Sniper really shows the effect war has on a person and how Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder changed his life.

The music piece I have chosen is a song written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock for the film Top Gun. This piece was performed by the band Berlin, grabbing audience’s attention around the world because of its appearance in the movie’s soundtrack. The date that this piece was released to the public was on June 15, 1986, being the first track to hear from the Top Gun movie’s soundtrack, the location where this piece was created could not be found in any of my sources. The material that this specific piece obtains that stood out for me was the melody, harmony, tempo and rhythm of the song, throughout this entire musical piece the rhythm has a unique and mellow upbeat, the harmony of the song remains the same throughout this piece, but still finds a way to be in sync perfectly with the tempo of the song.
