Not bad. I do think he takes a fairly simplistic reading of American Sniper (whether one believes it's done well or not, the film doesn't paint Chris Kyle as an out-and-out hero with absolutely no flaws), but it was overall a solid little watch contrasting what separates the war films that resonate from those that are mindless popcorn entertainment.

i dont trust anyone that thinks AS is reductive lmao. "the message of the movie was the iraq war was justified" holy shit tell your friend to do some damn research for the next vid
i also think it's kinda boring in that his examples from both sides are things we all more or less know (or at least, we've heard about these films and the popular opinions of them).

I'm not a big American Sniper fan, but he definitely should watch it again
