American Sniper (12/22/22)
Manage episode 354081247 series 3443471
We tackle the biggest totem in the War on Terror's cinematic canon — American Sniper. Clint Eastwood's surprise blockbuster brought out the masses for a post-9/11 war movie by fictionalizing the already mythological autobiography of Chris Kyle, one of the deadliest snipers in history. We talk American Sniper's dehumanization of Iraqis, its deliberate mischaracterizations of the Iraq War, its superficial treatment of PTSD, and whether the movie counts as a Western.
