    I'm well convinced that Clint Eastwood only does movies to as an outlet for all his racist thoughts. Seriously, name one Clint Eastwood movie in the last 15 years that didn't have some racial slurs, sexism and bigotry in it. Can't be done.
    American Sniper was a cool flick though

    He was friends with black people in Gran Torino. So your arguement is invalid.

    so being friends with black people makes someone not racist?

    Yes, isn't that how it goes?

    What a terrible movie, just another "USA is number 1!!!" Garbage....

    What are you? Some kind of commie?

    Just saying we get it, all the other countries on the planet understand that you guys THINK you're cool but we see insecurity in it...
    You're from an imaginary country. If you see insecurity, it's because you're projecting.

    Countries that aren't the good ole US of A only exist because we allow them to.

    Apparently the real and back up babies were sick the day of the shoot so they had to improvise. https://www.yahoo.com/movies/3-steps-to-avoiding-the-american-sniper-plastic-108673776102.html

    aren't movies required to have twins and alternate filming like every 30 seconds or 2 mins?

    FWIW I think I heard a rumor that Full House really only wanted Ashley...

    I heard there was a 3rd Olsen twin, but they fed her to Jessie Stamos to preserve his dashing good looks for the next 30 years.

    Did you see the movie? It's nothing about USA being number 1...you are just bitter because you are Canadian and will always be second to the great USA!!!

    You could go to the doctor and have your feelings checked for free if she cut you too deep.

    I interpreted it as his brother was fine...just fed up with the war and traumatized by everything he had seen or been through. I thought the scene was meant to illustrate the difference between Chris's state of mind...he truly believed in what he was doing and felt he was doing good...and his brother and many others who saw the pointlessness of it and no longer believed it was helping anything. I think Chris just couldn't relate to or understand that mindset.
