American Sniper

A common theme in Clint Eastwood films is sacrifice. The characters sacrifice a piece of themselves with the choices they make. Yes, war is hell. And snipers kill people by hiding 1,000 yards away. But they're protecting other soldiers. Would killing be more acceptable from 10 feet away? These questions are tough enough, but not for the artist formerly known as Dirty Harry. What if a 10 year old is the enemy and about to kill 5 soldiers? Whose life do you spare? More importantly, can you live with that choice?
