American Sniper shooting behind-the-scenes

2021-10-13 18:32
Originally directed by Steven Spielberg, but he withdrew due to schedule reasons. 
Bradley Cooper bought the copyright to the story, initially only intending to be a producer, starring Chris Pratt. But then, he changed his mind.
Cooper gains 40 pounds for the character, eats 8,000 calories a day, and runs for four hours a day for several months. He also watched a lot of video data of Chris Kyle during his lifetime.
Chris Kyle had an intersection with Marcus Luttrell, the "lone survivor" in reality. The two became close friends during SEAL training and have kept in touch since then. Marcus Luttrell's life was also put on the screen before, and the movie's name was "Lonely Survivor".
Chris Kyle's father had warned Eastwood and Cooper that if their movie hurt his son's reputation, he would never let it go. But he also said that he trusted the two of them.
David O. Russell, who has worked with Cooper on films such as "The Happiness Behind the Clouds", and another hallmark director Steven Spielberg have both considered directing this film.
Jamie Alexander, Kate Mara, and Evangeline Lily were all considered candidates to play Taya Kyle. The latter two abandoned the film for "Fantastic Four" and "Ant-Man" respectively.
Before Chris Kyle died, Cooper had a 2-minute conversation with him. To commemorate him, Cooper devoted 8 months to preparing for the movie role, dedicated to Chris and his family.
Eastwood made a brief cameo in the film. He walked into a church as a passerby, and Chris stole his Bible.

    The main theme biopic directed by Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper played well but is not worthy of the Oscar nomination. The whole film has a slow pace, sensational dramas are dull as water, and war dramas are dazzling. Sleepy, without climax, the plot of PTSD healing after the protagonist leaves the battlefield at the end is abrupt and weird, so I can nominate the Oscar for Best Picture, and I am also drunk. (6.5/10)

    Being obsessed with whether the red neck is like the original is actually meaningless, because the old man is going to tell his own story after all. Since we can accept such and such a running biography, why is the previous method not working? This is less than half of Emil Ludwig's. On the contrary, simple principles must be carefully polished to shine, and the era when rough stones can move people's hearts is long gone.
