Seth Rogen is right...

Just watched American Sniper without any pre-knowledge (?) of it and I genuinely think that was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A pure propaganda film targeted to COD-playing middle schoolers and brain dead conservatives. Some of my major complaints:

-All the middle eastern people in the movie are bad (well except for the translators who are pushed away by the main character). The one guy who seems good at first turns out to be just another baddie. The middle eastern sniper and Mustafa were completely unrealistic characters. All the good guys were straight line good ole white boys (not counting the black guy with his few token lines.

-True effects of PTSD not really illustrated. Great, he bangs on a window a little and threatens to hit a dog with a belt. He goes back on his good ole gun range to shoot some more and wow he's completely fine like nothing ever happened. How easily the issue was settled is an insult to veterans around the world.

-The slow motion bullet scene. How they could allow that in the film is beyond me. What a joke. The reasons for why this was so terrible don't really need to be explained.

-The scene at the end with the little kid hunting. So let me get this straight, violence "ruined" him, took his friends lives, and almost came back for him, yet he pushes his son on to the exact same road he just got off of? What? The whole scene looked like it came straight out a Rick Perry campaign commercial.

-When he was playing around with the gun at home at the end. How could Eastwood greenlight that? How could any responsible member of the military or gun owner accept that as OK? The number one rule of firearms is to assume that all firearms are loaded at all times. Then he starts playing around with his kids with it? What the fuck...

-When he adjusts the veteran's sniper rifle for him at the end. Yes, it was minor, but any gun owner will immediately understand how fucked up was it that he did that. You do not touch another person's firearm unless they are doing something that will directly danger themselves or others. YOU ESPECIALLY DO NOT TOUCH ANOTHER PERSON'S FIREARM IF IT IS LOADED.

-Lots more was very very wrong with this movie but it's 2 am and I'm going to sleep. If garbage like this keeps coming out promoting the bullshit conservative mindset that got us into this mess in the first place we will never escape the cycle.
