The movie "American Sniper": The dark horse that finally came into everyone's field of vision, what is the background behind the phenomenon? This movie was released on a small scale in North America on December 25, 2014, and was released in full on January 16, 2015. It has attracted much attention as it was shortlisted for 6 nominations for the 87th Academy Awards on January 15, 2015. This makes the film emerge as a powerful contender for the six major awards including best actor, best adapted screenplay and best film, so let’s take a look at the background behind the movie from the shortlists of these three important awards. Make it the darling of American mainstream values and academics. 1. The movie script is adapted from the real American Navy SEAL: Chris Kyle, the autobiography "American Sniper" published in 2012. When the book was released, the actor: Bradley Cooper proactively bought the film rights and became one of the film's producers. Chris Kyle’s autobiography mainly tells that in the ten years from 1999 to 2009, he entered the US-Iran battlefield four times, breaking the US Navy SEAL’s sniper record. More than 150 people were successfully attacked by the official confirmation, and the previous record was 109. (Here uses the numbers in his published autobiography, not the 160 in major encyclopedias and movies.) But he stated in the book that this is actually far less than the number of people he actually shot, and he personally calculates it to be about With around 255 people, he even has a record for headshots at an ultra-long distance of 1920 meters. There is also an encyclopedia of 1930 meters. The number shown by the telescope in the movie is 1907. The Iraqi militants offered a huge reward for his head, and Chris Kyle soon became a legend in the army. He avoided many casualties with a fatal and accurate blow on the roof and hidden positions. Chris Kyle does have experienced skills and extraordinary combat experience. He also said that for the experience of one shot and one life, when killing more than a hundred or more people, all he wanted was to keep his comrades safe. Some people questioned the authenticity of his memoirs, and some commented that his Americans are all good people, and Muslims are all bad people with crude values. After all, the right and wrong of the war, for him already in it, he can only consider survival and let more comrades survive. After more and more comrades are killed and wounded, his anger and sadness have nowhere to vent, too. People caught in the age and destiny. It has also been shown many times in the movie that when women and children with explosives appear in the scope, Kyle, who is also the husband and father, is in the inner situation at that moment. Chris Kyle, who retired to save his marriage, gradually reintegrated into family life. He and his wife have a pair of children Female. I have to say here that the Kyle couple in reality feel much more beautiful and handsome than the movie actors, maybe because they are real and beautiful. It is a pity that in the second year after he published his autobiography, in February 2013, when he accompanied a friend to visit another comrade in arms, he was shot and killed in a shooting range. The police captured the murderer that night, and the ironic Kyle has been trying to help these veterans with traumatic stress syndrome who have returned from the battlefield. The film ended with a real Kyle funeral documentary. It must be said that after the film, the audience did not leave the room for a long time during the subtitles, and everyone silently mourned the deceased soldier. The film officially started in the summer of 2014, and the famous independent screenwriter: Jason Dean Hall was invited to adapt the script. It was originally scheduled to be directed by Spielberg, but due to schedule issues, it was changed to Clint Eastwood. This 85-year-old director was once an actor and a politician. He has numerous works and honors. The level of the lifetime achievement award. The most familiar work is the director of the 77th Oscar winner "Million Baby". Fans even complained that the film made by Wood was better than it was made by Spielberg as a sensational film. The critics also lamented that for the director's position, he would definitely be shortlisted for the Academy Jury Oscar. 2. Film actor Bradley Cooper, if he cooperated with Jennifer Lawrence in "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds" in 2013, and "American Hoax" in which he participated in 2014, none of them could attract your attention, and they have been with you. Bradley Cooper, who ran for two Oscars for two years, was able to maintain the level of work recognized by the academy for three consecutive years after the "Hangover" series turned over. It is indeed worthy of everyone to pay attention to the 40-year-old actor again. In recent years, many actors will buy fancy screenplay stories for themselves. For example, this year's "Dabbling in the Wild" starring Reese Witherspoon, who was also nominated for Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actress, also failed David Finch. After the heroine of "The Lost Lovers" she directed, she bought the film rights of the novel and found the director of "Dallas Buyers Club" last year to tailor the work for her. I have to say that Hollywood's mature operating system allows more filmmakers to have the initiative. Many critics praised Bradley Cooper for his best performance of his life. The movie goes from a young cowboy to enlisting in the army. From the first taste of love to marriage crisis. From husband to father of two children. Entering Iraq four times, from simple justice to the grief of his comrades-in-arms. After leaving the army, I went from being alone and lonely to being integrated into life. In order to play the role of Bradley Cooper from the body I have done my homework to my heart. It's not so much how good Cooper's performance is, it's better to say how plain he is. Behind the sniper rifle, under his bearded face, there is not too much emotion and anger. If this year’s Oscar returns his best actor first prize as he wishes, everyone will be delighted, but if he still falls off the horse, I believe everyone will look forward to his new works even more, and how far he will be forced... 3. Movie theme first After the screening, many commentators pointed out that the theme of the story after the film adaptation was too American heroic. The autobiography itself was a distortion of values to a certain extent, and the film lacked thought-provoking power. There are also comments that, as a biographical film, the film has a strict chronological order and abruptly switching the protagonist four times into the US-Iraq battlefield. The simple character's life show is the best onlooker's perspective, and Cooper gave us a real possibility. The role of the letter. I believe that every war film is also an anti-war film, objectively presenting what happened and the impact on the people in it. In the process of watching the movie, the real and cruel process constantly reminds people of "The Hurt Locker", which won six awards including the 82nd Oscar for Best Picture in 2010. I also wish this "American Sniper" can have the good results of the former. As for the values of American heroes, the standpoint of the US-Iraq War, and the transformation of human nature in the war, we all have our own views. This movie has brought me more, and we will only get more reflections because of more true stories. The American sharpshooter Chris Kyle, who passed away near the first anniversary, no matter what he experienced and what his position, the story that happened to him is worth knowing. The myths of wartime, the justice of the world, and the history of black and white, everything seems so pale. As Kyle said in his autobiography, you will always remember the comrades you failed to save, and the pain will always accompany you until he is shot and killed by a comrade who also returned from the battlefield but has difficulty getting out of the trauma, countless people Use life to write the cruelty of reality. The above is for background information introduction and personal neutrality comments. Welcome to discuss and chat.
