Re: American Sniper
I did see the movie in the theater, but since it came out on Bluray on Tuesday I also picked it up at Walmart. What caught me by surprise was what the woman at the register said to me. She asked if I'd seen the movie and mentioned that she did and it made her cry. That didn't surprise me. What she said next did. She said she had moved to Texas just weeks before the movie came out in the theaters and had never heard of Chris Kyle before then. I was so shocked I didn't think to ask where she had moved from.

I think this was only a record for openings in January.skeathley wrote:It made $100M on its opening weekend, breaking all records. That shows that people are interested and supportive of the military, unlike when I came back from Viet Nam.

Re: American Sniper
Same for me with Fury and will probably be the same with American Sniper.CoffeeNut wrote:I've seen both. Fury was defintely a highly charged war movie whereas American Sniper was a bit of a mix (like you implied). If your daughter read the book I'd say it will have a deeper impact than if she had not as I choked up pretty hard at the end.C-dub wrote:It's in a war setting, but it's not really a war movie. I would like to see it this weekend, but the wife isn't sure she can make it through it. My daughter has expressed some interest, but I'm not sure about that yet. She seen some violent stuff (all the Die Hard movies and Act of Valor) and it doesn't bother her, but the emotional aspect of this may be too much for her. She wanted to see Fury and I'm glad I didn't take her to that one. Anyone seen both that can tell if this is on that same emotional level?
Fury left me in awe whereas American Sniper left me saddened if that helps.
