Without spoilers I don't think there's any other way you could have served the film and it's real life characters better. I also agree with the way Eastwood decided to end the film. I appreciate that they didn't take killing this many people lightly. They also didn't make this person out to be too much of a hero. Of course I wouldn't actually know how that feels but I do know that the subtly with which Cooper portrayed it was very effective. I also don't know if I have seen PTSD better displayed than it was here. Chris Kyle gets literally lost in fighting this war that he doesn't realize how much this is negatively impacting his family and Cooper perfectly portrayed that. Bradley Cooper bulked up and also brought the emotional gravitas it takes to lead this type of film. Sienna Miller did a very good job of giving us that emotion without overdoing it. I initially thought the back and forth between the tours and his family life would take away from the experience but it really didn't. Eastwood didn't really hold back on the brutality of killing over a hundred people, and the aftermath of what it does to a person. One of the key scenes from the trailer begins the film and it sets the tone for just how intense it will be. The fact that all of this (presumably) actually happened just makes it that much more difficult. I didn't cry, but man was this a tough one to watch. Almost half of my theater walked out weeping. It's one of the most intense films I have seen this year and so I have no problem with some of the nominations this movie received. Clint Eastwood does a great job directing and the editing and special effects are top notch. But he's not the only great thing about this film. It's debatable whether or not he was better than other actors this year, I will judge that once I have seen all the films, but he is definitely Oscar worthy in American Sniper. He has now been nominated for 3 acting Oscars. Bradley Cooper is simply one of the elite actors working today.
