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.

    Although there is no absolutely correct political stance, I still somewhat agree with the stance expressed by the creators of this film through various angles and details as a person on this long war. There is no deliberate heroism, no excessive bloodshed to emphasize the cruelty of war, and almost no background music. Only the rain of gunshots and fierce heartbeats echoing in the male protagonist’s brain express the panic of life and death.

    Cooper selected and promoted this project, and the lead actor was desperately gaining weight, so he must have a strong hero complex. Halfway through the preparation of the movie, the hero passed away bizarrely. The sharpshooter who had lived his life did not die on the battlefield but died on the shooting range... There is no surprise to bring the old man Dongmu here. The story is boring and boring, and neither the war nor the family can start. Inside the character. Motivational themes are most afraid of talking about dreams, and biopics are also the most annoying.

American Sniper quotes

  • Tony: Squirrel! Where'd you hide your nuts?

    'Squirrel': Nuts crawled up inside, sir. Those little shits are gone. They're nice and warm though now, sir.

  • Wayne Kyle: [to his sons] There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn't exist in the world, and if it ever darkened their doorstep, they wouldn't know how to protect themselves. Those are the sheep.

    Wayne Kyle: Then you've got predators who use violence to prey on the weak. They're the wolves.

    Wayne Kyle: And then there are those blessed with the gift of aggression, an overpowering need to protect the flock. These men are the rare breed who live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdog.
