Dissent is the highest form patriotism. Mostly, people believed which came from the well-known American president, Thomas Jefferson. Allegedly, it's not proven. However, it's so true that we don't have to figure out where the real reference is.
Individual herosim fulfill the great American dream, always symbolizes the classical American movie which inspires people. So action, sci-fi, western, contemporary, war, social, animation, mountains of good triumphs over evil were got through us and we enjoyed a lot actually. Since 911, which was absolutely an anti-human tragedy, it had changed somehow. The party who was beaten by the hero, the core of evil, was not a simple psychopath, or an overbearing badass anymore. A group of Al-Qaida, terrorists, people from the Middle East joined this big family. Without doubt, some of them are awfully cruel, inhumane and even savage. But whether the U.S. is always the right one or not is still questionable. We saw some good movie, who had some anti-war thought, like The Hurt Locker, Lone Survivor, Zero Dark Thirty and Argo, etc.
I didn't get much about this part from it, just a tiny part of his hesitation when he found the target in his lens was a boy. I suppose the reaction mostly came from his indentity as a father. Probably Eastwood didn't mean to highight this point, but I believe that's actually a necessity of human part. And the first time Chris and Taya met each other in the bar was an unsolved problem, she asked a good question, not only she but also the audiences were not given a certain answer. The ego, how on earth you guys got the ego that you claimed you're there to sacrifice yourself to save everyone's ass. There're always conflicts among countries, the human history is quite like a war history. Indeed some are great and full of humanity, but you can't just tell us you fight for the greatest country. Maybe you used to be one, but you broke into treaded on their territory, broke into citizen's house, threatened their family, promised to protect them and didn't keep your words. At least, you can't say that's justice.
PTSD is worth paying attention to but regretablly that part lack of clear expression. Just as someone joked, he came back, argued with Taya and she cried, over. Again and again. Just after a simple consultation, he got positive attitude. And the ironic tragedy happened.
I don't know how bad the warning of real sniper's father affect the movie, but as a master, Eastwood didn't satisfy me. Cooper did well, however, stop putting on weight, dude.
异议是爱国的最高形式。大体上，人们都相信这句话出自著名的美国总统托马斯·杰弗逊之口。不过据说，这是未经证实的。无论如何，这句话说得非常有哲理，也没必要那么纠结出处。
个人英雄主义装点着美国梦，励志的美国电影也总是充满了一人对抗全世界的情怀。所以动作大片，科幻巨制，西部电影，当代传奇，战争史诗，社交精英，甚至童话动漫，正义战胜邪恶的一代代续写洗礼着我们，我们也甘之如饴。在那场惨绝人寰的911悲剧后，这里的风向多少变了点味儿。电影中的坏蛋再不只是若干心理变态或自大狂，一大波基地组织、恐怖分子和中东地区的兄弟们加入了邪恶轴心套餐。毫无疑问，他们中不少极端主义者的确原始，野蛮，泯灭人性。但美国是否永远作为正义的一方，值得商榷。受益于此，这些年我们也看了些不错的作品，充满了对战争的反思，比如《拆弹部队》《孤独的幸存者》《猎杀本拉登》及《逃离德黑兰》等。
到了这次的《美国狙击手》，我并没有读到太多思考，只有很不起眼的一小部分，折射在狙击手发现瞄准镜中的目标是个小男孩时产生的犹豫。我猜想这短暂的犹豫，很大程度上只是来源于他也同样是一位父亲。可能伊斯特伍德不太想过于突出这个节点，然而我相信这恰恰是人性不可或缺的部分。狙击手克里斯和塔娅第一次在酒吧相遇，她问了一个精彩的问题，不过她和观众都没能得到满意的答案。自负，你们何来的信心，口口声声地说你们甘愿牺牲自己，在战场上保卫了这里所有人的安全？不承认也有那么一部分虚荣嘛？国家之间总是充满着矛盾，兵争不止，人类史就像是一部战争史。诚然，历史上有些战争很伟大，闪耀着人性的光辉，但你不能总是把你在为最伟大的国家而战挂在嘴边。也许你们曾经是，但你们随意践踏别人的领土，闯入平民的家中，威胁他们的家人，然后承诺会保护他们的安全却压根没有做到。至少，这一点上你不能号称自己是正义的。
战争也带给了你们创伤，战后心理综合症，也是值得关注的。遗憾的是，这一部分缺乏明确的表现力，就像有人开玩笑道，每次他从战场回来，跟老婆争执，然后老婆哭，然后再回战场，周而复始。最后，在一次轻描淡写的心理咨询后，他就又变回了阳光的德州牛仔。然后在那个充满讽刺的现实悲剧中画上句点。
我不知道原型人物的父亲那番警告对电影产生了多大影响，但作为一名传奇导演，伊斯特伍德交出的答卷不能让我信服。库珀继续奉献着不俗的演技，但是拜托，老兄，别再继续胖下去了。
