Be Reel: American Sniper
American Sniper is one of the most memorable films I have ever watched. Personally I don't enjoy watching war movies mostly because of the emotions that it brings about. This is especially a very emotional film, it deals with serious medical conditions such as PTSD which is one of the main components of the movie and you see it effect a family and a war hero. Chris Kyle is one of the most honorable men that has entered the U.S. military and he will always be remembered by the things that he has done for our amazing country. I was truly moved when I was watching this film not only because of the war portion but also because of the family element of it also. It really shows the reality of war. One moment it shows a scene in the Middle East and then it kicks back to a scene with his wife and kids which is kind of how the book works also. The graphics and the lighting key that are used in the film are spectacular, especially one scene in particular when the U.S. troops are in the midst of a sandstorm, you really feel disoriented just like the troops must've felt because you really can't see anything but sand. Also the acting is amazing in this movie, Bradley Cooper did an exceptional job as playing Chris Kyle. With this movie you see first hand what war can do to a persons mind and how it effects their family. This movie will forever be one of the most inspirational, emotional, and remembered films that I have ever experienced.

Clear movement from subjective analysis (i.e. YOUR feelings about the genre and film) to objective analysis (i.e. how the components of the FILM work together to create an engaging or otherwise significant product). You’ve got a great START here, but this needs to keep going! Remember that your post should be between 300-500 words. This one is around 270. Those extra words could/should have been spent analyzing specific moments or elaborating on what/how/why Bradley Cooper’s acting is so exceptional or Chris Kyle will be remembered or how this film memorializes him (perhaps differently from the memoir?). Good use of film terminology, but this just needed to keep going! Consider how paragraphs can help you to make that distinction. Also-- Good Good? Keep that clear within the post. Also missing the media (which is a required component of the Be Reel blogs).
