I saw it last night! I spent 27 months in Iraq with KBR. My son was a Marine over their and it really hits home. I can see why it is up for 6 Academey's! 

My hubby wants to see it 

I've been chomping at the bit to see this movie since the first time any info was mentioned- I remember when the real Vet was killed and as I learned more and more about him, It became more heartbreaking- 

Cleared my afternoon calendar so I could take my wife to see it today. My son is a Marine stationed at 29.I also have a daughter in the Air Force. 

Been waiting to see this movie and it was a great movie, despite the tears. Heartbreaking. May he RIP

My Marine sil has done 2 tours in a war zone, he's still over seas but no longer in war zone. My sailor is getting close to hitting the open waters. :(

We must not forget about our soldiers still over there, I long for them to be out of there already. 

It was a very good film representation of a complex life.

Powerful.


How is his brother now? 

Ok just Googled the brother. He wasn't as weak as suggested. In his own right he was just as active as Chris and served as a Marine for 8 years. 

Wow, lots of Marine Corps family here. My son is active duty, go to "29 Hells" as he calls it for the next month.
His PDS is Camp Pendleton.
I want to go see the movie as well. I will wait until the crowds decrease a little. I hate waiting in line for anything, and hate being shoulder to shoulder sitting in a movie theater..

Ok, I hate crowds. 

GREAT MOVIE!

CHRIS KYLE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF AN AMERICAN PATRIOT!

Love the scene where Kyle's father talks to his sons about Wolfs/Sheep/Sheep Dogs!


 

After catching flack for poking fun at Obama during the 2012 Republican National convention, the media's saying it's okay to like Clint Eastwood again? 

he's a terrific director, and I loved his movies- I think the RNC made a mistake allowing that performance, though. 

I think the RNC made a mistake allowing that performance, though.

Nobody within the RNC knew Eastwood was going to go off script when he did the empty chair routine.

The only person he told was a stage-hand just moments before going on stage.

But I do agree that he is a good film director. 

Don't agree with Clint Eastwood's politics, but, he is an incredible actor and director.

I was curious to see how Bradley Cooper would do in a role like this...sounds like he's done well! 

Thanks you bunch of purses for ruining the movie for those who have not seen it.

Pffffttttt.

Whatever happened to posting spoiler alerts? 

bunch of purses


LOL! That's an interesting phrase...I like it! 

Great movie! Great job Clint. 

Frakkin iPhone.

Lol!! 

'America Strong' this weekend in suppport of this great movie!! Shattered records!! 

How is a real life story based on a book ruined?

Chris Kyle's life is well documented.

Many have visited his gravesite in Austin. 

Please try to refrain from using the name of our sleeper jihad prez in the white house on this thread. 

It was a great movie, we took both of our boys (17 & 19) to see it last night...I did not know much about Chris Kyle before I saw the movie so the ending was quite a surprise for ALL of us!

You could have heard a pin drop when the theater started to empty. Not a peep from anyone in the audience. 

That will be the first movie I actually purchase once it comes out on DVD (will need to buy a DVD player too to play it in as well I guess).

That is one of those movies that will never be out of date and will always be important. 

My 10 yr old daughter really wants to see this movie. We can't decide if we should take her.

If you have seen it, I'd appreciate your feedback. 

interesting that they released it around the MLK holiday. A man who was killed by a sniper. I have not seen it, heard it was very good and I do plan on seeing it, just not right now. Kind of a slap in the face to our black community. 

It isn't about MLK. If you feel that way about it, cool that's how you feel. 

Kind of a slap in the face to our black community.

How? I am not seeing the connection but admittedly don't know all the details surrounding the movie.

Always a problem. 

His book is complete and total BS lies. 

"His book is complete and total BS lies. "

I doubt you read it 

I doubt you read it

Not many did. 

"I doubt you read it

So you either are spewing baseless BS yourself or you are only posting what others have posted. 

Kind of a slap in the face to our black community.

What a reach. Even the black community couldn't string that one together. More white guilt; it's embarrassing. 

From my Kingwood realtor...."you will be happy to know that our community is 98 percent white". Yep. She really said that. My first impression of "old Kingwood". 

What does this movie have to do with MLK? Not a dadgum thing... 

So did you still move into KW after hearing that? 

Haters gonna hate 

True Perfection, and always look for a reason. 

We're all waiting for her to pack up and leave Texas.

Why would you stay with that realtor if that offended you? That kind of comment would have not reflected my values and I would have told her so, right before I said goodbye.

Most claims of racism, like this one, are just good old fashioned paranoia.
